Tantrism, or the teachings of tantra, attracts the attention of many interested in the mystical knowledge and practices of the East, but there are still few publications on this topic. This anthology of Hindu texts is presented to the reader - a unique collection of mysterious and first translated Tantras, secret scriptures of the followers of Shaktism and tantric cults of India (primarily the Kaula school). Several introductory articles, as well as a glossary of terms and deities, help to better understand the published translations and gain a more complete understanding of the teachings, mysticism, metaphysics and esoteric practices of the Kaula Tantrics and Taktas.
