TANTRA - THE PATH OF ECSTASY

Tantra has been widely misunderstood in the West, however, where its practices are often confused with eroticism and licentious morality. This book 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.
