The Secret of Self-Transformation: A Synthesis of Tantra and Yoga

The central theme of discussion in this monograph revolves around the problem of man's self-transformation in the midst of an artificial and soulless civilization. According to the author, the solution to the problem lies in a synthesis between 'the two principal traditions of India'-Yoga and Tantra which he defines as philosophy and practice. In his view, only a successful synthesis between the two depends on the full flowering of the individual, and only a transformed individual...can become a nucleus for fundamental social change.
