Masters of Mahamudra

Songs and Histories of the Eighty-Four Mahasiddhas

SUNY, 1985
Paperback, 454 pages

Detailed Research

Very different from his more popular and colorful Masters of Enchantment, this work is Dowman's scholarly publication concerning the very same historical figures, the famous Mahasiddhas.

All 84 members of this illustrous group (yogins, tantrics, beggars, princesses and prostitutes) are described in detail, with the author doing his best to differentiate between historical fact or legendary fiction.
A great resource about the people who helped shape Tibetan Tantric Buddhism.
