When Variability Becomes Constancy: Reinterpreting Yogic Tapas in the Reality of Ulrich Beck’s “Risk Society”

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to answer the question concerning the possibility of reinterpreting tapas and locating it in the risk society. The authors, referring to Ulrich Beck’s concept, look for the ways out of the “kingdom of shadows”, possessed by a constant sense of threat, both in the global and local sphere. The article takes a cross-sectional look at tapas in old Indian literature, looking for possibilities of its contemporary implementation on non-Indian grounds, as a response to the deteri- orating psycho-physical state of 21st century society.
