Lotus of Power: The Mūlapadma and the Ḍākinī Mystery by Sushil Kumar Sharma is a groundbreaking exploration of one of Tantra's most enigmatic subjects, the secret of the root lotus and the hidden feminine energies that animate the human body and consciousness. Drawing deeply from the Rudrayāmala Tantra, this book bridges ancient esoteric wisdom with modern scientific understanding, presenting Tantra not as superstition or sensual ritual, but as a living science of energy, consciousness, and transformation.
At its heart, the book decodes the mystery of the Mūlapadma, the lotus of power at the base of the human subtle system, where primal energy sleeps in potential form. Through a detailed, scholarly yet human narrative, the author reveals how this energy, known as Kundalinī Śakti, can be awakened, purified, and guided upward through the body's inner pathways to unite with Śiva, the consciousness principle, culminating in states of deep clarity and liberation.
Equally captivating is the exploration of the Ḍākinī, the "sky-dancing" feminine intelligence described in Tantric literature as the guardian of spiritual power and the messenger between the material and subtle realms. Through textual analysis and experiential insight, the book unveils the symbolic and psychological dimensions of the Ḍākinīs, forces that inspire awakening, creativity, and fearless self-knowledge.
Each of the eight chapters unfolds like a meditative journey, beginning with the philosophical foundation of Tantra, moving through the anatomy of energy centers, exploring the fire of transformation, and finally arriving at the luminous union of Śiva and Śakti. The narrative integrates rigorous scholarship with natural human tone, making complex metaphysical ideas accessible to readers of both academic and spiritual inclinations.
In addition to its textual depth, Lotus of Power introduces readers to the subtle correlation between Tantric science and modern fields such as neuroendocrinology and quantum physics. It draws meaningful parallels between chakras and endocrine glands, energy flow and the nervous system, suggesting that the ancient seers of India mapped the human body as a living laboratory of consciousness long before the age of modern science.
The appendices provide rich supplementary material, including translated verses from the Rudrayāmala Tantra, diagrams of energy centers, tables of Ḍākinī classifications, scientific correlations, and a comprehensive glossary of Sanskrit terms, all designed to deepen understanding and invite experiential reflection.
Written in a tone that balances intellectual precision with spiritual warmth, this book invites the reader to see Tantra as both a path of knowledge and a journey of self-realization. It neither romanticizes nor reduces Tantra but restores its dignity as a science of the sacred.
Lotus of Power: The Mūlapadma and the Ḍākinī Mystery is not merely a study of an ancient text, it is an invitation to inner discovery. It speaks to the modern seeker who longs to understand the body as a temple, energy as awareness, and life itself as a sacred unfolding of consciousness. Through this book, Tantra reclaims its place as a living, luminous wisdom that unites the rational and the mystical, the scientific and the spiritual, in one harmonious vision of human evolution.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
