About The Book: "The World as Power, Power as Life" by Sir John George Woodroffe, published in 1922, is a profound exploration of the philosophical and metaphysical concepts that underpin much of his work on Tantra and Indian philosophy. In this book, Woodroffe delves into the notion of the world and reality as manifestations of power, elaborating on different forms of power, including life, mind, matter, and spirit. He discusses how these forms interact and converge to create the complex reality in which we exist. Woodroffe's approach in this book blends his deep knowledge of Western philosophy with his insights into Eastern spirituality, providing a unique perspective on the nature of existence and the universe. This work is suitable for readers interested in a deeper philosophical understanding of how power and life interplay within the cosmos according to Tantric principles. About The Author: Sir John George Woodroffe (1865–1936), also known by his pseudonym Arthur Avalon, was a British orientalist and judge whose work helped illuminate Tantric practices to the Western world. His seminal text, "The Serpent Power: The Secrets of Tantric and Shaktic Yoga," delves into the Kundalini Yoga philosophy and the chakra system, offering detailed interpretations and translations of Sanskrit texts.
