The Power of Tantra: Religion, Sexuality and the Politics of South Asian Studies
Hugh B. Urban
Focusing on one of the oldest and most important Tantric traditions, based in Assam, northeast India, this book shows that Tantra is less about optimal sexual pleasure than about harnessing the divine power of the goddess that flows alike through the cosmos, the human body and political society.
