Yoga and Tantra History

Yoga and Tantra history through the multi-warrant critical-historical-anthropological frame — Samuel's two-period thesis (500-200 BCE śramaṇa-yoga + 500-1200 CE Tantra) and White's history-of-yogis corrective to histories-of-yoga (Trilogy: Alchemical Body 1996 + Kiss of the Yoginī 2003 + Sinister Yogis 2009 — ALL THREE VOLUMES NOW FULLY IN-VAULT; the trilogy is COMPLETE as of 2026-05-30). Anchored by 98 Samuel concept pages + ~325 White concept pages (Sinister Yogis + Alchemical Body + Kiss of the Yoginī) + cross-domain Indic-cosmology material. Multi-warrant epistemic architecture: critical-historical warrant (Samuel + White) held as parallel vantage to practitioner-lineage warrants (Foss, Larsen, Pai, DiCara, Kurczak, Rao) preserved in vedic-astrology-hub.
