Tantra The Indian Cult of Ecstasy (Art & Imagination)

*The Indian Cult of Ecstasy Tantra by Philip Rawson - Suggesting as its final goal a vision of cosmic sexuality, Tantra embodies fundamental patterns of symbolic expression in a view of life which offers a uniquely successful antidote to the anxieties of our time. The act of creation is continuous ; therefore sexual intercourse between human beings can be a microcosmic representation of the creative process---a symbolic tribute to the great Goddess from whose womb, and by whose wisdom, all things in the Universe are manifested in Time.
