Psychology--A Road toward Discovering the Human Purpose

The study of psychology led Margaret Anand on a path of self-discovery that eventually brought her to the art of Tantra, a spiritual practice. Like Anand, psychology students can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them by studying the human mind and its motivating forces.

The San Francisco Chronicle recently interviewed Margaret Anand, one of the leading practitioners of Tantra--a discipline that strives to find spiritual awakening through sexuality. Anand has written a number of books about Tantra. Before Anand discovered Tantra as a way of life, she was enrolled in a psychology degree program at the Sorbonne in Paris. According to Anand, studying psychology led her to look more deeply at herself and to look for ways to fulfill her life purpose.
