About this listen
Tantra Illuminated takes the listener on a fascinating journey to the very heart of original Tantra: its key teachings, foundational lineages, and transformative practices. Since the West's discovery of Tantra 100 years ago, there has been considerable fascination, speculation, and more than a little misinformation about this spiritual movement. Now, for the first time in the English language, Tantra Illuminated presents an accessible introduction to this sacred tradition that began 1,500 years ago in the far north of India. Using translations from primary Sanskrit sources and offering a profound look at spiritual practice, this book reveals Tantra's rich history and powerful teachings.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

For any seeker
I dummy know what to say about this book other than that I used to study Buddhism, and reading this has helped me to get a deeper understanding of what my Buddhist teachers were pointing to.
I learned a lot a lot about a tradition I knew nothing about. A very brilliant writer and a great, down to earth teacher. Thanks Hareesh

A must-read.
An excellent introduction into all things Truly Tantra. It was so interesting to learn how all these philosophies and traditions weave in and out from each other and I very much enjoyed how the gap I had felt between Vajrayana Buddhism and Tantra was filled.

Thoroughly researched study of authentic Tantra.
The author comes from an academic background, so some sections can be a biy dry and read like a long taxonomy of various sects and traditions. But since he is also an experienced practitioner there is more than enough juicy morsels to merit multiple listens.
Essential listening for anyone seriously interested in Yoga, Dzogchen, etc.
