Więcej o książce
Exploring the often-misunderstood concept of Tantra, this book delves into its spiritual and textual traditions beyond the common association with sexuality. Urban's ethnographic journey to Assam highlights how the concept of kåama, or desire, encompasses various worldly aspirations like healing and childbearing. He categorizes contemporary Tantric practices into four forms: institutional, public, folk, and pop Tantra, revealing a rich tapestry of beliefs and rituals that shape a more comprehensive understanding of this vibrant tradition.
