Yoga, tantra and other forms of Asian meditation are practised in
modernized forms throughout the world today, but most introductions
to Hinduism or Buddhism tell only part of the story of how they
developed. This book is an interpretation of the history of Indic
religions up to around 1200 CE, with particular focus on the
development of yogic and tantric traditions. It assesses how much
we really know about this period, and asks what sense we can make
of the evolution of yogic and tantric practices, which were to
become such central and important features of the Indic religious
scene. Its originality lies in seeking to understand these
traditions in terms of the total social and religious context of
South Asian society during this period, including the religious
practices of the general population with their close engagement
with family, gender, economic life and other pragmatic concerns.
