c4.5

Similar is the case with the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā movement of Bengal. Mr. M. M. Bose, in his work *Post-Caitanya Sahajiyā Cult*, has, indeed, supplied us with valuable information regarding the literature of the Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās and some of the doctrines and practices preached therein; but the raison d'être of the whole school and the process of evolution of this love religion from the ideology and methodology of the earlier Tāntric and Yogic sects remain unexplained.
