A historical and comparative study grounded in close readings of
important works, this book explores the dynamics of the theory and
practice of yoga in Hindu and Buddhist contexts. Author Stuart Ray
Sarbacker explores the fascinating, contrasting perceptions that
meditation leads to the attainment of divine, or numinous, power,
and to complete escape from worldly existence, or cessation.
Sarbacker demonstrates that these two dimensions of spiritual
experience have affected the doctrine and cultural significance of
yoga from its origins to its contemporary practice. He also
integrates sociological and psychological perspectives on religious
experience into a larger phenomenological model to address the
multifaceted nature of religious experience. Speaking to a broad
range of methodological and contextual issues, Samā dhi provides
numerous insights into the theory and practice of yoga that are
relevant to both scholars of religious studies and practitioners of
contemporary yoga and meditation traditions.
