Kuhiro Class Reading Circle

This week’s reading is David N. Lorenzen’s The Kāpālikas and Kālāmukhas: Two Lost Śaivite Sects, which explores two Śaiva traditions from medieval India that are largely known today through fragmentary and indirect sources: The Kāpālikas and Kālāmukhas.

The work highlights how much of what we “know” about these groups comes from inscriptions, scattered references, and outsider narratives, and how historical reconstruction depends on reading these sources carefully and critically.

Kindly head over to the Kuhiro Class Reading Circle Google Classroom to access the text. Looking forward to hearing different perspectives on the text here in Chautara.
