Ecstasy through Tantra
In Ecstasy Through Tantra, Dr. Jonn Mumford celebrates the joyous
and mystical depths of sexual love. People are more open about
sex today, and so it is now possible to talk openly about going
beyond mere joy, beyond the physical and emotional aspects of
sexual union, to the ecstasy of union with Divine Power that is
centered in every body and throughout the universe.
In the pages of this book you will learn that you do not need
to go to the top of a mountain to commune with Divinity; Its temple
is the body, Its sacrament the communion between lovers, and that
communion involves all the awesome powers of the universe in the
microcosm of the lovers.
You will learn mental and physical exercises aimed at developing
that psycho-sexual power. Once you have mastered those techniques,
you will find explicit instructions for using sexual activity
to achieve your goals on earth (magic) and on the spiritual planes
(bliss).
Ecstasy Through Tantra is filled with magnificent original illustrations
as well as ones from ancient sources. There are many exclusive
photos of ancient temples and erotic sculptures in India, as well
as color photographs of couples demonstrating sexual positions
for the arousal of kundalini in Tantric practice.
This groundbreaking book is your guide to the world of sacred
sexuality.

and often misunderstood and misinterpreted today. Tantra is not

that can be used to bring new meaning and joy to every aspect of

Tantra:
Path of Ecstasy
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Tantra-often associated with Kundalini Yoga-is a fundamental dimension
of Hinduism, emphasizing the cultivation of "divine power"
(shakti) as a path to infinite bliss. Tantra has been widely misunderstood
in the West, however, where its practices are often confused with
eroticism and licentious morality. Tantra: The Path of Ecstacy dispels
many common misconceptions, providing an accessible introduction
to the history, philosophy, and practice of this extraordinary spiritual
tradition.
The Tantric teachings are geared toward the attainment of enlightenment
as well as spiritual power and are present not only in Hinduism
but also Jainism and Vajrayana Buddhism. In this book, Georg Feuerstein
offers readers a clear understanding of authentic Tantra, as well
as appropriate guidance for spiritual practice and the attainment
of higher consciousness.

Art
of Tantra (World of Art)
FROM THE PUBLISHER
In this comprehensive study of Tantric art, Philip Rawson invites
us to join a meditative and visual exploration of the self and
the universe. Originating in India in 600 AD and increasingly
linked with recent trends of Western art, Tantra is a metaphysical
fusion of eroticism, mathematics, and magic, a diffuse worldview
in which the cult of ecstasy reigns. It is through the astonishing
collection of illustrations in the book--sixteenth century engravings
of the process of Creative Generation, reliefs of Hindu goddesses
made for worship, a Tibetan magician's costume made of human bone--that
Rawson makes accessible the mystical and fundamentally undefinable
world of Tantra. 169 illus., 25 in color.
"A book to have for beauty and interest, which may well
be a guide to an understanding of life." -Arts Review
Tantra: The
Cult of the Feminine
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Explaining that our universe is created by the union of the male
and female principles that are manifested on the humane plane as
love, Van Lysebeth shows the importance of re-establishing feminine
values in our civilization.
SYNOPSIS
Known only for the virtues of its sexual practice, ancient Tantric
ideology is a universal and wide-reaching ideology virtually ignored
in the West. In Tantra: The Cult of the Feminine, one of Europe's
foremost Tantric authors and teachers, André Van Lysebeth,
gives readers a balanced, well-informed, modern examination of the
secret teachings and symbolism of Tantra.
Espousing no dogma, Tantra involves a search for reality that contradicts
neither science nor religion. For Tantra, all of the myriad energy
forms in the universe — gravity, nuclear cohesion, electromagnetism
— exist throughout the cosmos. "Scientifically speaking,
the universe is a gigantic continuum ranging from sub-atomic to
astronomical dimensions. Tantrists have perceived this unity for
over thirty-five centuries," points out Van Lysebeth in his
introduction.
Originally published in 1992 and now being released in paperback
for the first time, Tantra has become the classic text on the
subject, the source for serious students. Eight full-color illustrations
and 36 line drawings complement a comprehensive and contemporary
explanation of Tantra, complete with meditations. Van Lysebeth
has done a remarkable job of bringing ancient theories into the
modern world.
Double
Mirror: A Skeptical Journey into Buddhist Tantra
ANNOTATION
Drawing from his personal experience as a practitioner of Buddhist
tantra, the author examines the effects of Buddhist practice on
personality, autonomy, perception, and health. He discusses what
the Buddhist path has to offer Americans and evaluates Buddhism
as both a cult and a valid system of personal transformation. Candidly
explores such topics as guru devotion.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
In The Double Mirror, the author's personal history - as a student
of the late Tibetan master Chogyam Trungpa, known for his unconventional
lifestyle and "crazy wisdom" teaching style - is the framework
for an incisive and eloquent examination of a profound spiritual
journey. Writing both from a critical perspective and from his direct
experience of Vajrayana practice, the author looks at Buddhist tantric
teachings and practices and their expression in Vajradhatu, Trungpa's
organization. While discussing how the institution may sometimes
function like a "cult," Butterfield nonetheless experiences
Buddhist tantra as an authentic system of profound spiritual transformation.
The Double Mirror explores the effects of Buddhist practice on personality,
autonomy, perception, and health, and discusses what Buddhism has
to offer Americans.
