KULARNAVA TANTRA – PATHWAY FOR MEANING CIRCULATION

Abstract

I have read through the Kularnava Tantra in a non-linear fashion using a text network approach. I previously extracted the graph from the text with R, and I then visualized and analyzed it with Gephi. The analysis was based on the metrics developed by graphs theory and applied following the same procedure as for analyzing empirical social networks. I identified the pathway for meaning circulation within the Kularnava, its main agenda, which stated that the guru is crucial to facilitate the discovery of our inner self. For this purpose, he uses knowledge tools as well as the desire for Shakti.
