Alexis sanderson

Alexis G.J.S. Sanderson is the Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics at All Souls College, Oxford University. He is a Sanskritist and scholar of Indian religions, especially that of Shaivism and esoteric Shaiva Tantra. He has written over a thousand pages of articles, most of which are difficult to obtain in the US. Sanderson's published work is of a sufficiently high calibre of scholarly rigor and accuracy that it has contributed to his reputation, amongst European Indologists and a handful of American scholars, as one of the finest living Sanskritists and a preeminent scholar of the Shaiva religion.
