Jacobsen. 330 $aA neglected topic in the research on yoga and meditation traditions, the extraordinary capacities called yoga powers are at the core of the religious imagination in the history of religions in South Asia. Yoga powers explained the divine, the highest gods were thought of as great yogins, and since major religious traditions considered their attainment as an inevitable part of the salvific process the textual traditions had to provide rational analyses of the powers. The essays of the book provide a number of new insights in the yoga powers and their history, position and function in the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain traditions, in classical Yoga, Ha?ha Yoga, Tantra and ?aiva textual traditions, in South Asian medieval and modern hagographies, and in some contemporary yoga traditions. 410 0$aBrill's Indological library ;$vv. 37. 517 3 $aExtraordinary capacities attained through meditation and concentration 606 $aYoga 607 $aSouth Asia$xReligion 615 0$aYoga. 676 $a294.5/436 701 $aJacobsen$b Knut A.$f1956-$0899418 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781625003321 996 $aYoga powers$93856643 997 $aUNINA
