The brilliant bunch of new scans of Agamas on archive.org...

This autumn I have found a lot of new Tantras/Agamas on archive.org. 
First of all, my most soulful thanks to Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi, because only MahaLakshmi grants to us spiritual (आध्यात्मिक) Vidya and growth. 
I usually upload Granthas to
my blog with a delay (yes, rich and lazy lifestyle with 13-hour sleep per day as usually!), so I very much recommend to visit the following links and to download new scans directly from archive.org: 

Orthodox and my most, most, most Adorable PanchaRatra:

01. VAISHNAVA - Hindi-Sanskrit - Satvata Samhita Dr. Sudhakar Malaviyahttps://archive.org/details/SatvataSamhitaDr.SudhakarMalaviya [I nearly fainted, when I found this edition, I have been dreaming of it so greedily!!!!!!! So, thanks to Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi once again!!!!!!!!!!!]

Four variants of "Shree Narada-PanchaRatra" (classic Radharani/Krishna/Gopala Tantra):

02. VAISHNAVA - Hindi-Sanskrit - Sri Mahesvara Tantram - Dr. Sudhakar Malaviyahttps://archive.org/details/SriMahesvaraTantramDr.SudhakarMalaviya [When I saw the name of this Tantra I thought about Shaiva sources, but actually this is a part of "Shree Narada-PanchaRatra". 

Sudhakar Malaviya writes in Bhumika that Shiva heard this Tantra from MahEshwara Vishnu in nirvikalpa-samadhi, which lasted 5000 Yugas,  hence the name! I have scrolled via Hindi synopsis by Sudhakar Malavia and extensive "Table of contens" he had compiled. 

This Tantra actually differs from "Shree Narada-PanchaRatra", has a lot of Rahasyas and references to 10th Sarga of "Shreemad-Bhagavatam". It also contains explanation of anti-Vaishnava Moha-Shastras - Sudhakar Malaviya dwells on this subject in his Bhumika. 

And "Shree Maheshvara-Tantram" starts from Shree Vishnu-Lakshmi Siddhanta, while the further mood is Shree Radha-Krishna-Bhakti as in "Shree Narada-PanchaRatra". Anyway, I will be able to make a thorough synopsis after reading, but I don't know if I would read as I have a lot of other Granthas for this season]
