The Radha Tantra is an anonymous 17th century tantric text from
Bengal. The text offers a lively picture of the meeting of
different religious traditions in 17th century Bengal, since it
presents a Sakta version of the famous Vaisnava story of Radha and
Krsna. This book presents a critically edited text of the Radha
Tantra, based on manuscripts in India, Nepal and Bangladesh, as
well as an annotated translation It is prefaced by an introduction
that situates the text in its social and historical context and
discusses its significance. The introduction also looks at the
composition and metrics, vocabulary and grammar, and contents and
doctrine of the text. It also includes a discussion of the
extensive intertextualities of the Radha Tantra, as well as the
sources used for this edition. The Sanskrit text in Roman
transliteration, following the standard IAST system, is then
presented, followed by an English translation of the text. This
book will be of interest to scholars of South Asian Religion,
Tantric Studies and Religious History.
