Essential for scholars of Śākta Tantra and Bengali traditions — but be mindful of the source
The Yogini Tantra is a crucial late medieval text (c. 16th–17th century) for understanding the syncretic evolution of Tantric worship, especially in Bengal and Assam. It uniquely blends Śākta and Buddhist Vajrayāna elements, with detailed sections on yoginīs, pilgrimage sites (pīṭhas), and ritual practices.
Pair this PDF with The Yoginī Tantra (ed. by Biswanarayan Shastri, 1982) if possible, as that remains the standard critical edition. Always check copyright; older editions are generally in the public domain, but newer scans may not be.
