Like A Tree Universally Spread - Sri Sabhapati Swami And ?Ivar?Jayoga

de Keith Edward Cantu

72,86€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book examines the life of a nineteenth- to early twentieth-century Tamil yogin named Sri Sabhapati Swami (?r? Sabh?pati Sv?m? or Cap?pati Cuv?mika?, ca. 1828-1923/4) and his unique English, Tamil, Hindi, and Bengali literature on a Sanskrit-based system of yogic meditation known as the "R?jayoga for ?iva" (Tamil: civar?jay?kam, Sanskrit: ?ivar?jayoga), the full experience of which is compared to being like a "tree universally spread." Its practice was based on a unique synthesis of Tamil V?ra?aiva and Siddhar cosmologies in the colonial period, and the yogic literature in which it is found was designed to have universal appeal across boundaries of caste, gender, and sectarian affiliation. His works, all of which are here analyzed together for the first time, are an important record in the history of yoga, print culture, and art history due to his vividly-illustrated and numbered diagrams on the yogic body with its subtle physiology. This book opens with a biographical account of Sabhapati, his editor Shrish Chandra Basu, and his students as gleaned from textual sources and the author''s ethnographic field work. Sabhapati''s literature in various languages is then analyzed, followed by a comprehensive exposition of his ?aiva cosmology and religious theories. Sabhapati''s system of ?ivar?jayoga and its subtle physiology is then treated in detail, followed by an analysis of Sabhapati''s aesthetic integration of aural sound and visual diagrams and an evaluation of the role of "science" in the swami''s literature. Sabhapati also appealed to global authors and occultists outside of South Asia, so special attention is additionally given to his encounter with the founders of the Theosophical Society and the integration of his techniques into the thelemic "Magick" of Aleister Crowley, the German translation of Bavarian theosophical novelist Franz Hartmann, and the American publication of New Thought entrepreneur William Estep. To these are appended a never-before-translated Tamil hagiography of Sabhapati''s life, a lexicon in table-form that compiles some archaic variants and Roman transliterations of technical terms used in his work, and a critically-edited passage on an innovative technique of ?ivar?jayoga that included visualizing the yogic central channel as a lithic "pole."

Helene Smith - Occultism And The Discovery Of The Unconscious

de Claudie Massicotte

26,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In 1896, a young Genevan medium named H?l?ne Smith perceived in trance the following words from a Martian inhabitant: "michma michtmon mimini thouainenm mimatchineg." Those attending her s?ance dutifully transcribed these words and the event marked the beginning of a series of occult experiences that transported her to the red planet. In her state of trance, Smith came to produce foreign conversations, a new alphabet, and paintings of the Martian surroundings that captured the popular and scientific imagination of Geneva. Alongside her Martian travels, she also retrieved memories of her past lives as a fifteenth-century "Hindoo" princess and as Queen Marie Antoinette.Today, Smith''s s?ances may appear to be nothing more than eccentric practices at the margins of modernity. As author Claudie Massicotte argues, however, the medium came to embody the extreme possibilities of a new form of subjectivity, with her s?ances becoming important loci for pioneering authors'' discoveries in psychology, linguistics, and the arts. Through analyses of archival documents, correspondences, and publications on the medium, Massicotte sheds light on the role of women in the construction of turn-of-the-century psychological discourses, showing how Smith challenged traditional representations of female patients as powerless victims and passive objects of powerful doctors. She shows how the medium became the site of conflicting theories about subjectivity--specifically one''s relationship to embodiment, desire, language, art, and madness--while unleashing a radical form of creativity that troubled existing paradigms of modern sciences. Massicotte skillfully retraces the story of this prolific figure and the authors, scientists, and artists she inspired in order to bring to light a forgotten chapter in modern intellectual history.

Spiritual Alchemy - From Jacob Boehme To Mary Anne Atwood

de Mike A. Zuber

84,79€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Most professional historians see the relationship between pre-modern and modern alchemy as one of discontinuity and contrast. Mike A. Zuber challenges this dominant understanding and explores aspects of alchemy that have been neglected by recent work in the history of science. The predominant focus on the scientific aspect of alchemy, such as laboratory experiment, practical techniques, and material ingredients, argues Zuber, marginalizes the things that render alchemy so fascinating: its rich and vivid imagery, reliance on the medium of manuscript, and complicated relationship with religion.<em>Spiritual Alchemy</em> traces the early-modern antecedents of modern alchemy through generations of followers of Jacob Boehme, the cobbler and theosopher of Görlitz. As Boehme''s disciples down the generations -- including the Silesian nobleman Abraham von Franckenberg and the London-based German immigrant Dionysius Andreas Freher, among others -- studied his writings, they drew on his spiritual alchemy, adapted it, and communicated it to their contemporaries. Spiritual alchemy combines traditional elements of alchemical literature with Christian mysticism. Defying the boundaries between science and religion, this combination was transmitted from Görlitz ultimately to England. In 1850, it inspired a young woman, later known as Mary Anne Atwood, to write her <em>Suggestive Inquiry into the Hermetic Mystery</em>, usually seen as the first modern interpretation of alchemy. Drawing extensively on manuscript or otherwise obscure sources, Zuber documents continuity between pre-modern and modern forms of alchemy while exploring this hybrid phenomenon.
