Abstract |
The paper explores interconnected instances of cultural transfer from India to Europe of elements pertaining to the Trika school of Shaivism and tantric goddess traditions. The first instance concerns the translation and reception of a Trika text (the Parātrīśikā) and its commentary (Abhinavagupta’s Parātrīśikāvivaraṇa) by a group of therapeutic practitioners based in Northern Germany, as well as its application in transpersonal psychotherapeutic and psychosomatic practice. The second case addresses the establishment of a yoginī temple by one of these therapists, after having visited sites dedicated to yoginī worship in Hirapur and Bheraghat. The paper discusses the selective approach to Kashmirian Shaiva teachings in the process of their therapeutic application, as well as the transfer and reception of tantric traditions by Western practitioners. |
