Sarkar's Tantra Yoga: A Vision for the Future with Roots in the Past

By D Petare

An exploration of the place of Yoga and Tantra in Indian history, from prehistory to the present. Although focused on the Tantra Yoga of P.R. Sarkar, the author examines themes that are universal and of interest to all who would like to further explore what Tantra is in the context of Indian history and its potential in the modern world, the interaction of Tantra and Yoga with issues of social justice and inequality, Tantra as a social as well as spiritual practice, and its historical opposition to casteism and patriarchy. Sarkar's views on Indian history are compared and contrasted to research in linguistics, genetics, anthropology, etc., and it is discussed how his choice to situate his teachings as 'Tantric' helps us better understand the purpose and potential of his vision.
