tantra insight for the 'western' mond.

for the western oriented thinker, this book is a very clear explanation of tantra experience. the insights (to the experienced reader) are to the point with little trappings. it is more like a 'structural' anlalysis of tantra than a 'mystical' one; very clean. highly recommended for those who can think beyond the ego stage of involvement. feuersteins books tend to be very adeptly done.lots of revealing insights, clarifications,...

A Foundation to grow from

Currently there is a barrage of books cropping up on the subject of Tantra.

Feuerstein's first positive task is to dispell certain commercial...

As good as anything by Karen Armstrong and maybe better

In America, yoga has so often devolved into a physical practice with spiritual pretensions, instead of a deeply spiritual practice. I returned from India from...
