Description

About The Book: "Mah?m?y?; The World as Power: Power as Consciousness (Chit-Shakti)" is a collaborative work by John Woodroffe and Pramatha N?tha Mukhyop?dhy?ya, blending the profound insights of Eastern philosophy with Western scholarly analysis. This book delves into the concept of Mahamaya or the great illusion, exploring how the universe manifests through the dynamic interplay of power and consciousness. Both authors contribute their unique perspectives: Woodroffe, under his pseudonym Arthur Avalon, brings his expertise in Tantric studies, while Mukhyop?dhy?ya offers a modernist Bengali literary approach that challenges traditional narratives. Together, they present a nuanced examination of how power, in the form of divine feminine Shakti, shapes reality through consciousness, providing a significant philosophical and cultural synthesis.
