While Indian visual culture and Tantric images have drawn wide
attention, the culture of images, particularly that of the divine
images, is broadly misunderstood. This book is the first to
systematically address the hermeneutic and philosophical aspects of
visualizing images in Tantric practices. While examining the issues
of embodiment and emotion, this volume initiates a discourse on
image-consciousness, imagination, memory, and recall. The main
objective of this book is to explore the meaning of the opaque
Tantric forms, and with this, the text aims to introduce visual
language to discourse. Language of Images is the result of a long
and sustained engagement with Tantric practitioners and
philosophical and exegetical texts. Due to its synthetic approach
of utilizing multiple ways to read cultural artifacts, this work
stands alone in its attempt to unravel the esoteric domains of
Tantric practice by means of addressing the culture of
visualization.
