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.
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 *
