Description

Indian Tantric practice has an unbroken tradition dating back thousands of years. One of its greatest exponents was Abhinavagupta, the 10th century spiritual teacher, scholar, poet and mystic whose masterwork, Tantraloka, is encyclopedic in length (thirty-three volumes) and as yet unavailable in English. Now, however, comes Tantrasara, Abhinavagupta's own brief prose guide to Tantraloka, in a masterful new English translation by the renowned Pandit H.N. Chakravarty. Completed shortly before his death, this long-awaited volume takes us directly into the world of esoteric Tantric philosophy and practice. It deals with topics such as: the nature of the ultimate reality, consciousness itself; the creative energy underlying all manifestation; andthe ritual and inner practices that awaken, sustain, and bring this awareness to fruition.The Tantrasara lays a solid foundation for understanding Tantric spiritual practice with clarity and depth.
