Abstract
Tantra is the science of personality. It is all about understanding who you are as a human being in the context of embodied life. This book strives to provide a historical context to Tantra, expanding scholarly attention to the culturally interconnected region which it refers to as “Monsoon Asia”. Additionally, it examines Tantra as a point of convergence between Sanskritic, folk, vernacular, and shamanic traditions, challenging the intellectual misconceptions and historical inaccuracies that have artificially divided these categories.
