Erotic Mysticism: Tantra, Bhakti, and the Sacred Body challenges one of the most persistent assumptions of modern religious thought: that spirituality begins where the body ends. Drawing from Vedic foundations, classical philosophy, Tantra, and devotional traditions, Ajit Kumar explores how Indian mythology refused to sever desire from transcendence. From the disciplined aesthetics of the Kama tradition to the radical ritualism of Tantra and the passionate longing of bhakti poetry, this book reveals a civilisational vision in which the body is not an obstacle to liberation, but one of its most profound instruments.
Moving beyond popular stereotypes and moral simplifications, Kumar examines the theology of Shakti, the symbolism of divine union, and the subtle metaphysics behind practices often dismissed as merely sensual. What emerges is a daring yet rigorous account of how erotic language, sacred energy, and mystical experience converge in Hindu thought. Scholarly yet accessible, this work invites readers to reconsider the boundaries between flesh and spirit, and to encounter a tradition where the sacred body is not a scandal, but a revelation.
