| Abstract | In his works Yoga: Immortality and Freedom and Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy, the Historian of Religions Mircea Eliade developed a distinction between shamanic and yogic phenomena based upon what he characterized as enstatic and ecstatic types of religious practice and experience. This distinction has had a considerable impact in the study of South Asian religion, where enstasis has been used extensively to interpret Hindu and Buddhist meditation. The primary goal of this paper is to demonstrate some of the problems that arise from the application of Eliade's enstasis-ecstasis distinction and to bring more subtlety to the analysis of religious practice and experience in this context. |
