Dear Colleagues-- Please see the Yoga Consultation session below that might be of interest. -Stuart Sarbacker, Oregon State University Yoga in Theory and Practice Consultation Saturday - 1:00 pm-3:30 pm PDC-518B Stuart R. Sarbacker, Oregon State University, Presiding Theme: Contextualizing the History of Yoga in Geoffrey Samuel’s The Origins of Yoga and Tantra This session will be dedicated to a thorough examination of Geoffrey Samuel’s recent work The Origins of Yoga and Tantra: Indic Religions to the Thirteenth Century (Cambridge University Press, 2008). Samuel’s work represents a sophisticated attempt to bring significant contextuality to the development of the traditions of yoga and tantra through its key formative eras in the ancient periods (meditation and yoga) and in the classical to medieval periods (tantra), within the "Indic" traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. This session will provide a roundtable style discussion led by scholars representing the range of "Indic" traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and the different "eras" of the development of yoga and tantra, principally the ancient, classical, and medieval periods. Panelists: Laurie Louise Patton, Emory University Christopher Chapple, Loyola Marymount University Gerald J. Larson, University of California, Santa Barbara, and Indiana University Vesna Wallace, University of California, Santa Barbara Daniel R. Gold, Cornell University Responding: Geoffrey B. Samuel, Cardiff University Business Meeting: Stuart R. Sarbacker, Oregon State University Christopher Chapple, Loyola Marymount University
