The Vaisnavasahajiya cult that arose in Bengal in the sixteenth century was an intensely emotional attempt to reconcile the sensual and the ascetic. Exploring the history and doctrine of this cult, Edward C. Dimock, Jr., examines the works of numerous poets who are the source of knowledge about this sect. Dimock examines the life of the saint Caitanya, the mad Baul singers, the doctrines of Tantrism, the origins of the figure of Radha, and the worship of Krishna. His study will appeal to students of the history of religion as well as of Indian culture. This edition includes a new Foreword by Wendy Doniger.This is a magnificent bookpainstakingly researched and gracefully written. . . . Professor Dimocks book is one of the most rewarding and stimulating studies to appear in recent years.G. Richard Weldon, Journal of Asian Studies

This book is packed with interesting information about the Vaisnavasahajiya cult, but I found the writing style a bit dense at times. It took me a while to get through some sections because they require a lot of focus. Still, I'm glad I read it!

I picked up 'The Place of the Hidden Moon' hoping to learn more about the Vaisnavasahajiya cult, and it did not disappoint. The author's deep dive into erotic mysticism is fascinating, and I've gained insights that I never expected. Perfect for anyone interested in religious studies or the complexities of spiritual practices!

Not What I Expected
I was looking for a simple overview but found 'The Place of the Hidden Moon' to be pretty academic. It dives deep into erotic mysticism which is interesting, but I was hoping for something more straightforward. If you enjoy scholarly works, this might be for you!

Fascinating Subject, but Hard to Follow
While 'The Place of the Hidden Moon' touches on a captivating subject, I struggled with the author's dense prose. There were parts that felt convoluted. If you're really interested in erotic mysticism, it might be worth the effort, but be prepared to reread some sections!
