Description

Explore the life of Sir John Woodroffe, the man who transformed Western understanding of Hindu philosophy. Writing under the pseudonym Arthur Avalon, Woodroffe worked closely with Bengali mentors like A. B. Ghose to study Tantra. His landmark work, The Serpent Power, introduced the concept of Kundalini Yoga to the Western world. This biographical study examines how Woodroffe shifted the perception of Tantra from a misunderstood cult into a refined philosophy. By doing so, he increased the prestige of Hindu thought for future generations of Western scholars. The book is presented in two parts, with the first section focusing on Woodroffe's social history and his unique role as an orientalist at the beginning of the twentieth century.
