Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book examines the life of a nineteenth- to early twentieth-century Tamil yogin named Sri Sabhapati Swami ('Sr=i Sabh=apati Sv=am=i or Cap=apati Cuv=amika.l, ca. 1828-1923/4) and his unique English, Tamil, Hindi, and Bengali literature on a Sanskrit-based system of yogic meditation known as the "R=ajayoga for 'Siva" (Tamil: civar=ajay=okam, Sanskrit: 'sivar=ajayoga), the full experience of which is compared to being like a "tree universally spread." Its practicewas based on a unique synthesis of Tamil V=ira'saiva and Siddhar cosmologies in the colonial period, and the yogic literature in which it is found was designed to have universal appeal across boundaries of caste,gender, and sectarian affiliation. His works, all of which are here analyzed together for the first time, are an important record in the history of yoga, print culture, and art history due to his vividly-illustrated and numbered diagrams on the yogic body with its subtle physiology. This book opens with a biographical account of Sabhapati, his editor Shrish Chandra Basu, and his students as gleaned from textual sources and the author's ethnographic field work. Sabhapati'sliterature in various languages is then analyzed, followed by a comprehensive exposition of his 'Saiva cosmology and religious theories. Sabhapati's system of 'Sivar=ajayoga and its subtle physiology isthen treated in detail, followed by an analysis of Sabhapati's aesthetic integration of aural sound and visual diagrams and an evaluation of the role of "science" in the swami's literature. Sabhapati also appealed to global authors and occultists outside of South Asia, so special attention is additionally given to his encounter with the founders of the Theosophical Society and the integration of his techniques into the thelemic "Magick" of Aleister Crowley, the German translation of Bavariantheosophical novelist Franz Hartmann, and the American publication of New Thought entrepreneur William Estep. To these are appended a never-before-translated Tamil hagiography of Sabhapati's life, alexicon in table-form that compiles some archaic variants and Roman transliterations of technical terms used in his work, and a critically-edited passage on an innovative technique of 'Sivar=ajayoga that included visualizing the yogic central channel as a lithic "pole." This book examines the life of a nineteenth- to early twentieth-century Tamil yogin named Sri Sabhapati Swami (Sri Sabhapati Svami or Capapati Cuvamikal, ca. 1828-1923/4) and his unique English, Tamil, Hindi, and Bengali literature on a Sanskrit-based system of yogic meditation known as the "Rajayoga for Siva" (Tamil: civarajayokam, Sanskrit: sivarajayoga), the full experience of which is comparedto being like a "tree universally spread."

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A radically alternative vision of the fakir is given in surviving medieval (Bng. madhya- ug, 'Middle Age') and early modern textual sources that predate and coincide with the colonial period in Bengal, such as the widely influential seventeenth-century Yoga Kalandar text as well as Baul oral traditions deeply influenced by this text's cosmology. This thesis aims therefore to fulfill three key objectives: 1) to historically situate the Yoga Kalandar text and its practitioners; 2) to describe the distinctly yogic and tantric aspects of its theology, with specific reference to the way the text harmonizes Sufi and Neoplatonic hypostases and ritual theurgy with Sa khya-inspired cosmology; and 3) to describe how the text's cosmology was integrated in later colonial and modern forms of indigenous Bengali mystical poetry, especially the Baul songs of Lalan Fakir that make numerous creative references to the practices outlined in the Yoga Kalandar and, in a sense, even transcend the text's limitations. As an appendix for reference, a new English translation of this text (from Bengali and French critical editions) is provided. 96 pp. Englisch.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Carol Salomon dedicated over thirty years of her life to researching, translating, and annotating this compilation of songs by the Bengali poet and mystical philosopher Lalan Sai (popularly transliterated as Lalon) who lived in the village of Cheuriya in Bengal in the latter half of the nineteenth century. One major objective of his lyrical riddles was to challenge the restrictions of cultural, political, and sexual identity, and his songs accordingly express alonging to understand humanity, its duties, and its ultimate destiny. His songs also contain thinly veiled references to esoteric yogic practices (sadhana), including body-centered Hathayogic techniquesthat are related to those found in Buddhist, Kaula, Natha, and Sufi medieval tantric literature. Dr. Salomon's translation of the work is the first dedicated English translation of Lalan's songs to closely follow the Bangla text, with all of its dialectical variations, and is here produced alongside the original text. Although her untimely death left her work unpublished, the editors have worked diligently to reconstruct her translations from her surviving printed andhandwritten manuscripts. The result is a finished product that can finally share her groundbreaking scholarship on Baul traditions with the world. This is the first dedicated English translation of the songs of the Bengali poet and mystical philosopher Lalan Sai to closely follow the original Bangla text, with all of its dialectical variations, and is here produced alongside the original text. Dr. Carol Salomon used multiple written and oral texts to arrive at a meaning as close as possible to the original works. This item is printed on demand.
