This book stands head and shoulders above every book on the subject that has come out since, especially the recent glut of "new age" fluff books. (Hint: never subscribe to a philosophy with a name that rhymes with "sewage.")

This book is one of the more sophisticated of the books that deals with this topic. Givin in a traditional fashion that could be annoted only to such a scholar, and pioneer, as John Woodroffe. The detail is uncompairable and unless you have a solid understanding for the language and representations, it is a hard read.

This work will bring the reader into the power of Devatma Shakti Kundalini just by reading and pondering the text. Old feelings will find a home in the transformation from experience to understanding as the book flows forward. Gentle delight is the mark of a true Tantric text and this book, although strange and difficult at times, is pure de-light. If you want to know about Chakras and such, this is a classic text by one who really knows. Old and grand, this is a favorite treasure of mine and one I give away regularly to friends who must have more. Lam-to-Aum... Riley Jackson

Sooner or later but Your will have desire to get aquatinted with original source of grate Science of Tantra.It is rather difficult to do if Your do not know Sanskrit and of course original texts of tantras are unavailable sometimes.You can read lots of books on this subject but I am afraid it will lead You to second hand knowledge.Only You can solve this Great Mystery of Live(at least for Yourself) and this book will help You.This Tantra is Message of Universe directly to You no one else.Open Yourself to it if Your dare and some day You will find out Your Live changing.Get the giudance and knowledge direct from the source,avoid mediators. And Universe will save and teach.
