 Kali's Child, The Mystical and Erotic in the Life and Teachings of Ramakrishna Jeffrey J. Kripal CULTURAL PORTRAIT • 1998 • PAPER • 386 PAGES
A scholarly analysis of the life and thought of a 19th century Bengali mystic, marked by critical acclaim and some controversy surrounding issues of gender and sexuality. Kripal demonstrates through textual analysis and psychoanalytic theory the centrality of desire -- and homesexual desire -- in the thought of this important Tantric mystic. For those with intellectual tendencies, this is good stuff.
