A complex body of religious practices that spread throughout the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions; a form of spirituality that seemingly combines sexuality, sensual pleasure, and the full range of physical experience with the religious life—Tantra has held a central yet conflicted role within the Western imagination ever since the first «discovery» of Indian religions by European scholars. Always radical, always extremely Other, Tantra has proven a key factor in the imagining of India. This book offers a critical account of how the phenomenon has come to be. <br /><br />Tracing the complex genealogy of Tantra as a category within the history of religions, Hugh B. Urban reveals how it has been formed through the interplay of popular and scholarly imaginations. Tantra emerges as a product of mirroring and misrepresentation at work between East and West–a dialectical category born out of the ongoing play between Western and Indian minds. Combining historical detail, textual analysis, popular cultural phenomena, and critical theory, this book shows Tantra as a shifting amalgam of fantasies, fears, and wish-fulfillment, at once native and Other, that strikes at the very heart of our constructions of the exotic Orient and the contemporary West.

Tantra on kehareligioon. Muidugi laheb see kaugemale kui keha,aga see on kehaga seotud. See on ainus religioon, mis on kindlalt maine – selon juured. Teised religioonid on nagu puud, mille juured pole maas, need onsurnud, mahl ei liigu nendes. Tantra on vaga mahlane, vaga elus. See ontotaalne orgasm tervikuga, universumiga. See sulandub olemise allikasse. Oshoraagib selles raamatus tantrast, lahtudes iidsest opetusestmahamudra’st, mida esmakordselt olevat opetanud suur India opetaja Tilopa(989–1069). Mahamudra (skr ‘suur sumbol’) on meeleharjutuste kompleks,mis keskendub puhta meele kujustamisele. Osho kasitleb seda opetust kui laulu,mida ta varss-varsi haaval meile tutvustab, andes meile aimu, kuidas end lahtikeerata, sissepoole poorata ja uletada ning tantrani jouda ja moista, et:„Tantra on vabadus; vabadus koigist mottemangudest; vabadus koigiststruktuuridest; vabadus teisest. Tantra on ruum, kus olla, tantra on vabanemine,taielik orgasm tervikuga."

TANTRA – это книга для тех, кто желает жить не сексом, кому нужна любовь, а не простое спаривание самца и самки. Понимаю, информация в книге сильно противоречит социальным установкам, но это правдивая и точная информация, а правда она такая, неудобная и ненужная, надеюсь не для всех. Книга писалась для тех, кому нужна дверь в лето. Текст содержит английскую и немецкую версию.
