Tantra of the Great Liberation (English and Sanskrit Edition)

Framed as a conversation between the god Shiva and goddess Shaki, this text describes the chakra, or subtle energy structure of the human body, ceremonies, yogic practices and mantras for meditation, and a summary of the Hindu laws (dharma) regarding sexual behavior. To the Tantra we must therefore look if we would understand aright both ritual, yoga, and sadhana of all kinds, as also the general principles of which these practices are but the objective expression.

There is no word of wider content in any language than this Sanskrit term meaning 'Power'. For Shakti in the highest causal sense is God as Mother, and in another sense it is the universe which issues from Her Womb. And what is there which is neither one nor the other? Therefore, the Yoginihridaya Tantra thus salutes Her who conceives, bears, produces and thereafter nourishes all worlds: "Obeisance be to Her who is pure Being-Consciousness-Bliss, as Power, who exists in the form of Time and Space and all that is therein, and who is the radiant Illuminatrix in all beings." It is therefore possible only to outline here in a very general way a few of the more important principles of the Shakti-doctrine, omitting its deeply interesting practice (Sadhana) in its forms as ritual worship and Yoga. Today Western science speaks of Energy as the physical ultimate of all forms of Matter. So has it been for ages to the Shaktas, as the worshippers of Shakti are called. But they add that such Energy is only a limited manifestation (as Mind and Matter) of the almighty infinite Supreme Power (Maha-Shakti) of Becoming in 'That' (Tat), which is unitary Being (Sat) itself.

The Kularnava is an authority in Tantric literature. It is one of the basic works of the rituals and philosophy of the Sakta Tantrism following the Kulacara, the most advanced of the Sakta way. The learned introduction in English gives detailed information about the constitution of the text and esoteric philosophy and practices peculiar to the school. The complete text is given in Devanagari for those who wish to study the book in the original Sanskrit.

This ancient treatise provides the reader with the knowledge of sixfold tantric activities viz. marana, uccatana, vasikarana and so on, for the fulfillment of man's material needs as well as the knowledge of reality for the fulfillment of his material ends. On the spiritual plane it guides him on the path of self-realization. The ultimate aim of this treatise, as of all tantric lore is to suggest means for the emancipation of the personal soul from the bondage of senses.

The present book Sarada-Tilaka of Laksmana Desikendra is one of the important texts on Tantric subjects. It is divided into 25 chapters. Chapter 1 is Prakrti and deals with the origin of creation: the 23 chapters which follow demonstrate Prakrti-Vikrti; the last chapter 25 which is beyond Prakrti and Vikrti. But Sarada-Tilaka is a tantric treatise which deals primarily with the Tantric worship of gods and goddesses.

This book is an academic and scholarly work on TANTRA / YOGA. It is a translation of a Yogic text. It contains the text in Devnagiri as well. The author is world renowned and has written more than a dozen books on this subject.\nThis work is a description and explanation in fuller detail of the Serpent Power (Kundali Shakti), and the Yoga effected through it, a subject occupying a pre-eminent place in the Tantra Shastra. It consists of a translation of two Sanskrit works published some years ago in the second volume of my series of Tantrik Texts, but hitherto untranslated.
