Vishnu On Freud's Desk by Jeffrey J. Kripal
A provocative, interdisciplinary examination of how psychoanalytic theory and Western intellectual frameworks interact—and often clash—with South Asian religious practices and mystical experiences; using case studies of Tantra, erotic and transgressive ritual, and accounts of psychic phenomena, it challenges secular and reductionist readings, argues for the legitimacy and complexity of embodied, ecstatic forms of the sacred, and proposes new ways to read religious experience that honor its erotic, imaginative, and cross-cultural dimensions.
