Explaining Mantras

- Ritual, Rhetoric, and the Dream of a Natural Language in Hindu Tantra

Bag om Explaining Mantras

Drawing upon linguistics, semiotics, anthropology and philosophy, as well as the history of religions, the author argues that mantras and other ritual discourses use rhetorical devices, including imitation, to construct the persuasive illusion of a "natural language", one with a direct and immediate connection to reality.
