Product Description & Reviews: 
Product Description -  This study looks at Aum's claims about itself and asks why a   religious movement ostensibly focused on yoga, meditation, asceticism, and   pursuit of enlightenment became involved in violent activities. Reader places   the sect in the context of contemporary Japanese religious patterns, discussing   developments in Asahara Shoko's personality and teachings, Aum's millennialism   and its developing hostility toward society, and compares Aum with other   religious and political movements that turned to violence, both in Japan and   elsewhere. He concludes that Aum is not unique, nor is it solely a political or   criminal terror group. It must rather be analyzed as an extreme example of a   religious movement which, largely due to its own religious characteristics, came   into friction with the surrounding society and developed into violence.
