About This Item
New York: Causeway Books, 1964. hardcover. Book VG-: soil/wear to boards and spine, small rip front board, slightly bowed boards, sticker FFEP, toning/soil to endpapers, text unmarked, binding tight. Solid reading copy./DJ G: age toning and wear, paint residue, NOT clipped. 8vo 252pp. from front flap: "...Tantra has been practiced in India and Tibet for thousands of years but became known to a few people in the West only within the last seventy years. Until a few years ago it came to us veiled in impenetrable symbolism. Puritan developments in India had led to doctoring the literature of Tantra to conceal its sexual import. Moreover, it came to us first in English translation from proper Victorians! In this book, for the first time, the actual rites of Tantra are plainly and accurately described by a student trained in Bengal, one of the great strongholds of Tantra since 600 A.D." #02496.
