Through a mixture of ethnography and history, Hugh B. Urban reveals a dynamic living tradition behind the sensationalist stories. Urban shows that Tantric desire goes beyond the erotic, encompassing such quotidian experiences as childbearing and healing. He traces these holistic desires through a series of unique practices: institutional Tantra centered on gurus and esoteric rituals; public Tantra marked by performance and festival; folk Tantra focused on magic and personal well-being; and popular Tantra imagined in fiction, film, and digital media. The result is a provocative new description of Hindu Tantra that challenges us to approach religion as something always entwined with politics and culture, thoroughly entangled with ordinary needs and desires.</p>...4515924The Path of Desire418580https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-path-of-desire-9780226831114/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4082929/image.jpg?v=638443234857170000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249780226831114_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9780226831114_<p><strong>A provocative study of contemporary Tantra as a dynamic living tradition.</strong></p><p>Tantra, one of the most important religious currents in South Asia, is often misrepresented as little more than ritualized sex.
