ABOUT THE BOOK

Meru Tantram edited and commentary refined by Shri Raghunath Shastri (and published under traditional Sanskrit presses like Khemraj Shrikrishnadas) is a classical, highly authoritative encyclopedic treatise within the Tantric scriptural tradition. The core philosophy of this text centers on integrating the worship protocols, mantra science (Mantra Shastra), Yantra diagrams, and ritual procedures (Puja Paddhati) across all major traditions of Hindu worship—including Shaiva, Shakta, Vaishnava, Ganapatya, and Saura sects. Structured across thirty-five extensive chapters (Prakashas), the Meru Tantram provides detailed instructions on mantra initiation (Diksha), purificatory rituals (Purascharana), deity iconography, Nyasa practices, and specialized rituals such as Kartavirya Arjuna Deepdana Vidhi. Renowned for its comprehensiveness and practical clarity, this work serves as an indispensable primary manual for traditional ritualists, Sadhakas, and scholars of Agamic and Tantric literature.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

Shri Raghunath Shastri was a traditional Sanskrit scholar, indologist, and expert in Tantric and Agamic literature who worked extensively on editing, commentary, and preserving classical Sanskrit texts. Writing with deep fidelity to scriptural traditions and ritual mechanics, his scholarly work focused on compiling critically verified editions of obscure and essential Tantric manuscripts. His edited rendering of the Meru Tantram remains one of the most widely referenced and respected versions used by traditional practitioners and researchers of Hindu Tantra.
