The Body Will Go...But Remember, The Soul Will Eternally Cry Delight. Dying, Gopal, Or Ram Das Baba To His Devotees, Leaves His Disciple And Closest Companion With The Essence Of His Spiritual Knowledge. It Is The Ultimate Truth That A Lifetime Of Seeking Has Revealed To Him, Made Him A Paramahamsa, The Most Highly Evolved Of All Sadhus. Ecstasy Is A Story About The Making Of A Mystic And His Astonishing Experiences On The Spiritual Path In An Age That Dismisses Divine Visions As Hallucinations, And The Desire For A Union With God As A Symptom Of Mental Illness. It Is Also The Story Of The Rare Relationship Between Two Very Different Men Brought Together By A Fateful Meeting. The Older Man, Steeped In The Mystical Mood Of Complete Surrender And Devotion, Becomes The Unlikely Guru Of The Younger, Who Has Grown Up On A Diet Of Western Rationalism And The Belief That Man Is The Master Of His Own Fate. The Guru Opens For His Disciple A Window To The Soul, And In The Process Triggers A Difficult Private Battle Between Reason And Emotion, Faith And Logic; The Spirit Of Submission That Is The Hallmark Of Bhakti And The Militancy Of Religious Pride. Sudhir Kakar, The Best-Selling Author Of The Ascetic Of Desire, A Novel About Sex And Sexuality, Has Written A Richly Layered And Revelatory Book About The Other Great Theme Of Humankind: Religion.

Shamans, Mystics and Doctors is a detailed and thoroughly fascinating account of the many ways in which the ancient healing traditions of India—embodied in the rituals of shamans, the teachings of gurus and the precepts of the school of medicine known as Ayurveda—diagnose and treat emotional disorder. Drawing on three years of intensive fieldwork and his own psychoanalytic training and experience, Sudhir Kakar takes us into a world of Islamic mosques and Hindu temples, of assembled multitudes, and dingy, out-of-the-way consultation rooms… a world where patients and healers blame evil spirits for emotional disturbances… where dreams and symptoms that would be familiar to Freud are interpreted in terms of a myriad of deities and legends… where trance-like “dissociation states” are induced to bring out and resolve the conflicts of repressed anger, lust and envy… where proper grooming, diet, exercise and conduct are (and have been for centuries) seen as essential to the preservation of a healthy mind and body. As he witnesses the practitioners and their patients, as he elucidates the therapeutic systems on which their encounters are based, as he contrasts his own Western training and biases with evidence of his eyes (and the sympathies of his heart), Kakar reveals the universal concerns of these individuals and their admittedly foreign cultures—people we can recognize and feel for, people (like their Western counterparts) trying to find some balance between the pressures and rewards of the external world and the fantasies and desires of the internal. This is a major work of cultural interpretation, a book that challenges (and should enhance) our understanding of therapy, mental health and individual freedom.

Based on interviews of Sudhir Kakar by Iranian philosopher Ramin Jahanbegloo, India Analysed is a journey into Kakar’s mind—his fertile and unpredictable ways of thinking, and the essential humanism which all his writings signify—recounting the life and ideas of Kakar in his own words. In the process, the book affords readers rare insights into the psychological make-up of the modern Indian. Flowing effortlessly from Kakar’s descriptions of his early life in undivided India to discussions on the Indian psyche and sexuality, the book also dwells on his views on secularism and modern Indian leaders like Gandhi and Nehru. Kakar brings to bear his intellect on a wide range of issues like philosophy, democracy, Indian culture and tradition, and the Partition, and the conversational style of the interviews helps demystify many of his complex ideas. The third in the series of Ramin Jahanbegloo’s interviews of prominent intellectuals who have influenced modern Indian thought, this challenging and engaging volume will interest both a scholarly and an informed lay audience who want to understand India as seen through the eyes of one of the country’s leading contemporary thinkers.

The Centrepiece Of The Analyst And The Mystic Is The Absorbing Story Of The Nineteenth-Century Bengali Mystic And Hindu Saint Sri Ramakrishna.

Kakar Goes Beyond The Traditional Psychoanalytic Interpretation Of Ramakrishna S Mystical Visions And Practices. Going Beyond The Traditional Psychoanalytic Interpretation Of Ramakrishna S Mystical Visions And Practices, Kakar Clarifies Their Contribution To The Psychic Transformation Of A Mystic And Offers Fresh Insight Into The Relation Between Sexuality And Ecstatic Mysticism. Through A Comparison Of The Healing Techniques Of The Mystical Guru And Those Of The Analyst, Kakar Highlights The Difference In Their Healing Objectives And Reveals The Positive Psychological Aspects Of The Religious Experience.

Sudhir Kakar, India’s foremost practitioner of psychoanalysis, has focused his career on infusing this preeminently Western discipline with ideas and views from the East. In Mad and Divine, he takes on the separation of the spirit and the body favored by psychoanalysts, cautioning that a single-minded focus on the physical denies a person’s wholeness. Similarly, Kakar argues, to focus on the spirit alone is to hold in contempt the body that makes us human. Mad and Divine looks at the interplay between spirit and psyche and the moments of creativity and transformation that occur when the spirit overcomes desire and narcissism. Kakar examines this relationship in religious rituals and healing traditions— both Eastern and Western—as well as in the lives of some extraordinary men: the mystic and guru Rajneesh, Gandhi, and the Buddhist saint Drukpa Kunley. Enriched with a novelist’s felicity of language and an analyst’s piercing insights and startling interpretations, Mad and Divine is a valuable addition to the literature on the integration of the spirit and psyche in the evolving psychology of the individual.
