Tantra: The Path of Ecstasy

Today's foremost yoga researcher offers a clear and lively introduction to the history, philosophy, and practice of the Tantric spiritual tradition

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. Many of them either go in the esoteric abstract and boring direction OR they are titallating, sex focused and commercially simple. Feurestein's book is a tremendous exception. It is a solid simple foundation of the esoteric principles in Tantra, shared in a context that is accessible ant practical for the reader. This book has inspired many discussions,...

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

As good as anything by Karen Armstrong and maybe better

It's often hard to understand metaphysical books about tantra because there are few scholars who can write in a clear way that's accessible even for practitioners, let alone people who have never had a guru or traveled to India to experience tantric teachings firsthand. 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...
