The Vajra Path Module 1: From Yoga Sutras to Yoga Tantras
Module 1: From Yoga Sutras to Yoga Tantras
Ian Baker · 172 minutes
Ian Baker traces the vajra from Indra's thunderbolt in the Vedas to the yoga tantras, and shows Hevajra and Chakrasamvara emerging in synchrony with the Shiva and Shakta tantras. He sets Patanjali's yoga sutras beside early Buddhist teaching, then follows the six yogas, inner heat at their foundation, into Western hands through David-Neel and Evans-Wentz. Slides, no practice. Half the evening is questions: whether Hindu tantra lacks bodhicitta, who tantra suits, and his own practice of inner heat.
