Sweeny vs Bard S03E10: Western Tantra? - with Thomas Hamelryck


Can Tantra flourish in western society that is predominantly Christian and Moslem?  What are the historical roots of Tantra? Is Tantra a religion?  Is Tantra sexual technique or a spiritual practice?  A wide ranging discussion on all things Tantra, from Vajrayana Buddhist tantra to neo Tantra.  A boisterous conversation that Alexander says is the best one we have had yet.  (And Thomas H assures us that he is pretty indifferent to the 80’s synth band Depeche Mode. You be the judge).
