In this book, Patton E. Burchett offers a path-breaking genealogical study of devotional (bhakti) Hinduism that traces its understudied historical relationships with tantra, yoga, and Sufism. Beginning in India’s early medieval “Tantric Age” and reaching to the present day, Burchett focuses his analysis on the crucial shifts of the early modern period, when the rise of bhakti communities in North India transformed the religious landscape in ways that would profoundly affect the shape of modern-day Hinduism.A Genealogy of Devotion illuminates the complex historical factors at play in the growth of bhakti in Sultanate and Mughal India through its pivotal interactions with Indic and Persianate traditions of asceticism, monasticism, politics, and literature. Shedding new light on the importance of Persian culture and popular Sufism in the history of devotional Hinduism, Burchett’s work explores the cultural encounters that reshaped early modern North Indian communities. Focusing on the Rāmānandī bhakti community and the tantric Nāth yogīs, Burchett describes the emergence of a new and Sufi-inflected devotional sensibility―an ethical, emotional, and aesthetic disposition―that was often critical of tantric and yogic religiosity. Early modern North Indian devotional critiques of tantric religiosity, he shows, prefigured colonial-era Orientalist depictions of bhakti as “religion” and tantra as “magic.” Providing a broad historical view of bhakti, tantra, and yoga while simultaneously challenging dominant scholarly conceptions of them, A Genealogy of Devotion offers a bold new narrative of the history of religion in India.

What would it be like to know that you are indeed immortal - that your physical body is but an outward form taken by your own eternal inner form or 'soul body'? What would it be like to experience this soul body as an awareness that is not bounded by your skin but pervades the entire universe - and that can merge with the awareness or 'soul' of others? In this way you can come to experience the bliss of true 'tantra' and 'tantric sex'. This is no mere sensual or spiritual intensification of biological sex but something much deeper - a deeply sensual and sexual intercourse of soul of a sort that requires no skin contact whatsoever - for its sole medium is our divine soul body. Tantra Reborn' introduces this wholly new understanding - and experience - of the tantric tradition and its sexual symbolism, as well as its basis 'The New Yoga'. For this is not a yoga of the physical body or of some 'energy body' but of the soul body itself - our body of sensual feeling awareness or 'soul'.

Yoga, tantra and other forms of Asian meditation 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 is an interpretation of the history of Indic religions up to around 1200 CE, with particular focus on the development of yogic and tantric traditions. It assesses how much we really know about this period, and asks what sense we can make of the evolution of yogic and tantric practices, which were to become such central and important features of the Indic religious scene. Its originality lies in seeking to understand these traditions in terms of the total social and religious context of South Asian society during this period, including the religious practices of the general population with their close engagement with family, gender, economic life and other pragmatic concerns.

Explores the relationship between health and religion based on the model offered by the Hindu traditions of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra.Religious Therapeutics explores the relationship between psychophysical health and spiritual health and presents a model for interpreting connections between religion and medicine in world traditions. This model emerges from the work's investigation of health and religiousness in classical Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra--three Hindu traditions noteworthy for the central role they accord the body. Author Gregory P. Fields compares Anglo-European and Indian philosophies of body and health and uses fifteen determinants of health excavated from texts of ancient Hindu medicine to show that health concerns the person, not the body or body/mind alone. This book elucidates multifaceted views of health, and--in the context of spirituality and healing--explores themes such as mental health, meditation, and music.

Here is a unique presentation of a philosophy of marriage for the Twenty-Second Century with techniques for developing rapport between a man and a woman on all levels of consciousness, from the physical and emotional through the mental to the soul, leading to telepathy, intuition, clairvoyance, and the whole range of the ESP. The traditional elements of Tantra yoga, as they have been perpetuated from a very remote past in Tibet, India, and China, have been given a New Age interpretation and adapted to the needs of an advanced humanity on the Earth today. Tantra is a philosophy of sex lifted from me biological function to a sacramental ritual, one purpose of which is to forge an indestructible union between consenting partners, thus resolving the problems of marital incompatibility, divorce, juvenile delinquency, and the broken home. The divine intent behind sexual union is traced from the Lemurian period, when the Sons of God intermarried with the daughters of men, into the next millennium when the pairing of souls will become an exact science and a spiritual initiation. --- from book's back cover
