Abstract

Hinduism deals with body more than any other religions do. Therefore, it is necessary to study Hindu views on body. Through the study a rich resource of Hindu concepts and beliefs about the spiritual significance of body is revealed. Also, it provides a deeper look into Hindu cosmology. Considering ascetics and yogis’ life style equal to the whole doctrine of Hinduism or some presuppositions about dualism of soul and matter have led to some misunderstandings about the dominant stand that Hinduism takes with this worldly life. This research intends to clarify Hindu attitudes toward body by reflecting on Hindu views about worldly life and the significant role body plays in Hindu principles. Studying Tantrism, because of its special views about body, can be helpful. Tantarism, particularly tantric yoga, believes in the wisdom of body and considers it as a main means of salvation. Tantarism takes body as a recourse to reach the quiet.
