Lights on the Tantra

About this book

Tantra is approached as a complete spiritual discipline rather than reduced to its most sensational rituals. Essays examine its divisions, Kundalini, worship and the relation between philosophical teaching and practice, followed by discussions of Shakta traditions and the Mahanirvana Tantra. Written in the intellectual setting of Sri Aurobindo and Kapali Sastri, the book offers an interpretive introduction rather than an indiscriminate guide to performing every rite.
