The Yoga of Power
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yoga of Power: Tantra, Shakti, and the Secret Way is a book by Julius Evola. First published in Italian as Lo Yoga Della Potenza: Saggio sui Tantra in 1949. It was translated into English in 1992 by Guido Stucco (who includes a biographical introduction to Evola), and published by Inner Traditions International (ISBN 0-89281-368-7).
An interest in yoga (especially Kundalini) led Evola to write L’uomo e la potenza (Man as power) in 1926 (revised in 1949 with the new title The Yoga of Power).
