ASIA 332 - Tantra SeminarSemester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
(Same as RELI 332 ) Topic for 2015/16a: The Serpent Power: Tantric Esotericism.

By going through this work line by line, and by looking at critical works on Tantra as well, we closely examine esoteric Indian theories of language and the power of mantra, visualization, the relationship of mind and body, yogic anatomy and energy dynamics, and the place and purpose of imagination in spiritual practice. Mr. Jarow.
