The Tantra of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar
This book is a phenomenological-dialogical examination of the spiritual teachings of Prabhāt Rañjan Sarkar or Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (1921-1990), founder-preceptor of Ananda Marga (AM), as contained in English-language publications of Sarkar’s spiritual and philosophical discourses. Through a broad critical and comparative survey of Sarkar’s spiritual theory and praxis with selected ancient, classical, and medieval expressions of Indic spirituality, this book reveals a deep comprehensive system of Sarkarian tantric philosophy conjoined with tantric meditative methods aimed at expanding, transforming, and liberating the mind.
More importantly, it supports the assertion that Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, while overtly non-aligned with any specific or recognised disciplic lineage (sampradaya) of Hindu or Buddhist origin, is nevertheless an authentic interpreter, teacher, and guru of Indian Tantra for the contemporary audience. In its original format as a doctoral dissertation in Tantric Studies, this thesis received high accolades from internationally renowned Indologist Professor Klaus Klostermaier. Now newly released in its 20th anniversary edition, this book will interest scholars and practitioners alike of Indic spirituality and meditation.
