Autorenporträt
Christopher Key Chapple is Doshi Professor of Indic and Comparative Theology and founding director of the Master of Arts in Yoga Studies at Loyola Marymount University. He has authored more than twenty books, including Karma and Creativity; Nonviolence to Animals, Earth, and Self in Asian Traditions; and Yoga and the Luminous; Living Landscapes: Meditations on the Elements in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain Yogas.

The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies is an academy for the study of Hindu cultures, societies, philosophies, religions, and languages. The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies Mandala Publishing Series offers authoritative yet accessible introductions to a wide range of subjects in Hindu Studies. Each book in the series aims to present its subject matter in a form that is engaging and readily comprehensible to persons of all backgrounds – academic or otherwise – without compromising scholarly rigour. The series thus bridges the divide between academic and popular writing by preserving and utilising the best elements of both. General Editor: Lucian Wong Editorial Board: John Brockington, Avni Chag, James Madaio, and Valters Negribs For information on Continuing Education Courses at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, visit www.ochsonline.org
