DESCRIPTION
The study and research undertaken by Dr. Tomy Augustine on Yoga Tantra Theory and Praxis in the Light of the Hevajra Tantra, a Metaphysical Perspective contained in this book makes a unique statement about the development of Tantric Buddhism in Indian culture and philosophy. The author's precise and meticulous analysis of the Text of the Hevajra Tantra Applying the Madhyamika and Yogacara metaphysics and the simultaneous attempt to highlight therein the synthesis of Tantric bipolarities delves into rediscovering the vibrant emergence of the Vajrayana Buddhism. Dr. Augustine's claim that "Vajrayana has contributed to the advancement of human thought in regard to the development of new vision of God, world and (wo)man in general and to Buddhist thought and praxis in particular" is fully substantiated in this work. This book will attract scholars in the fields of religion, psychology and culture besides proving valuable to students of philosophy and those who see the increasing interface between philosophy and the social science.
