Description
Drawing from original texts on self-mastery, Evola discusses two Hindu movements--Tantrism and Shaktism--which emphasize a path of action to gain power over energies latent within the body.
Author Biography
Julius Evola (1898-1974) was one of the leading authorities on the world's esoteric traditions, and wrote extensively on ancient religions and hermeticism. Inner Traditions has also published his Revolt Against the Modern World, The Mystery of the Grail, The Hermetic Tradition, Meditations on the Peaks, The Doctrine of Awakening, and Eros and the Mysteries of Love.
Reviews"Soon Evola will be an immovable object in the field of serious esotericism in the English-speaking world, as he already is for readers of Italian, French, and German. The Yoga of Power puts to shame those modern writers who have degraded Tantra to a subject for New Age sex manuals. To read his descriptions of the higher spiritual states is like watching a champion mountain-climber on a vertical glacier." * Gnosis Magazine * "This richly layered and exacting work will challenge and fascinate." * MG, Napra Trade Journal *
