THE SACRED LIBRARY
About Agamas & Tantras
Their subjects can include temples, divine images, consecration, mantra, ritual worship, meditation and the relationship between teacher and disciple. A text may explain the theology that makes a practice meaningful as well as the procedure through which it is performed. The names Agama, Tantra and Samhita occur across this literature; they do not make every work identical in content or authority.
