Using his personal praxis to inform his research, the author examines three core themes of tantra: a holonic/mandalic individuality that conduces to the mystical experience; a positive valorisation of pleasure and play; and cultural attitudes of gender - mutuality and - complementarity as neatly encapsulated in the icon of Shiva as Ardhanariswara.
