Tantra
Sri-Chakra Its Yantra, Mantra and Tantra
Studies on The Tantras
Man has a natural tendency to enjoyment, and does not generally welcome renunciation. He finds it difficult to call upon the Lord in a pure and simple way, and instinctively hugs to his bosom some amount of impurity in the midst of purity. Even through renouncing lust and wealth, he would like to have a passing glimpse of them. Hence it is that we find that immediately after stating distinctly in his sacred books that the worship of the Divine Mother should be performed in the purest way possible, he also makes room fore some queer sensuous songs in them on the plea that these will be pleasing on the Goddess.

Tantra
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 played a central yet conflicted role in the Western imagination ever since the first ''discovery '' of Indian religions by European scholars. Always radical, always extremely other, Tantra has proved to be a key factor in the imagining of India. This book offers a critical account of how the phenomenon came to be.
