The Origins of Yoga and Tantra

Beschreibung

Yoga and tantra are practised in modernized forms throughout the world today, but most introductions to Hinduism or Buddhism tell only part of the story of how they developed. This book seeks to understand their origins within the wider picture of the evolution of religion and society in South Asia.
