The Dance Between Tantra and Moksha: On the “Erotic” Dimension of the Gītagovinda and Krishna Bhakti Theology

Abstract

The article The Dance Between Tantra and Moksha by Graham M. Schweig investigates how the Gīta Govinda embodies a tension between sensual desire and spiritual liberation. Schweig shows how Krishna’s union with Rādhā represents a synthesis of tantra and Vedanta, reflecting a bhakti theology that integrates body and soul through sacred love.
