Synopsis

A scholarly introduction to the ancient yogic tradition of Kundalini

At the center of Tantric philosophy is the principle of awakening the vital energy (Kundalini) that lies latent in all of us, and the technique of channeling this energy into spiritual growth.

Here, Ajit Mookerjee, the distinguished author of Kali: The Feminine Force and The Tantric Way, writes of the core experience of Tantra in which the energy is awakened and rises through the energy centre (chakras) to unite with Pure Consciousness.

A powerful selection of Tantric art, ancient and modern, lends further insight into Kundalini and its meaning for society today.

About this title

Synopsis:

In the Western world interest in many forms of spiritual practice is widespread and growing. Tantra, the Indian cult of self-knowledge and liberated joy, is one of the best known. At the centre of its philosophy is the principle of awakening the viatl energy (Kundalini) that lies latent in each of us in order to channel it into spirital growth. Envisualized as a coiled serpent, the energy must be aroused through meditation. It then rises up through the energy centre (chakras) to unite with pure consciousness at the crown of the head. This book looks at the core experience of Tantra, the Kundalini awakening. Using both Indian sacred texts and modern accounts of Kundalini experience, the author explains its basic principles and techniques, and illustrates his text with a collection of ancient and modern Tantric art drawn from a wide range of original manuscript sources.
