Kindle version. Sellon was much taken by certain aspects of the Shakti cult he obviously considered pretty racy in Victorian times. PDF The Kaula Upanishad Upanishad of the Kaula sect of Tantra. The Kaulas based their precepts on this work - condemn not others - and even faulty argument may be valid, meaning that just because someone doesnt express an argument well, it doesnt mean she or he isnt right!
