The tantric tradition plays a major role in Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism, yet its teachings and philosophy are still little understood and often distorted in the West. The powerful erotic and sensual symbolism of the literature and the apparently amoral tendencies of the teachings, and the care with which their inner meaning has been guarded have made objective study of them difficult. This classic text offers an in-depth study of the literature and philosophy of the tantric tradition, one of the central themes of Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. The author analyzes from within the literary, liguistic, ideological, philosophical and ritualistic patterns of tantrism illustrating them with passages from the Indian and Tibetan texts. Bharati gives emphasis to mantra, intitiation, male-female polarity, symbolism and to the history and development of tantrism.

Fantasy Whip Fun -- With An Edge! This fantasy whip's bark is far worse than its bite! Hear each thrilling "whoosh" as sensual lashes from your Satin Pleasure Whip connect to with your partner's willing rump! Now you can really play games with this sophisticated bondage sex toy! Make this Tantric Satin Pleasure Whip part of an erotic costume -- or no costume at all! The wood handle is just over 6 inches long, about an inch wide, covered in smooth satin fabric and stitched ribbon detail. A loop at one ends makes it easy to hang on a hook or door knob when you need a break from dishing it out. The business end of your Tantric Satin Pleasure Whip is delightful -- an 11 inch long bouquet of satin ribbons that promise danger, but deliver erotic sensations instead! Every lash flies through the air with the kind of "whoosh" that will have your partner anticipating each lash in knee-quaking fear. So now you can play spanking and whipping games with none of the injury or soreness associated with a real leather whip. Role-playing just got kicked up a notch with a fine instrument like the Tantric Satin Pleasure Whip. If you do choose a sexy costume, cuffs, erotic lingerie, smartly pressed suit or what-have-you, consider the Tantric Satin Pleasure Whip's color scheme for passionate reds and deep, serious blacks. Consider seriously the wearing of a blindfold for the person to be whipped. Not knowing when to expect the lash to hit adds much to the excitement! Especially if you tease your subject by whipping your own hand or thigh instead. Imagine him or her half-naked or so, just trembling in anticipation. Don't forget, none of this would be fun without full consent, even if it is a Tantric Satin Pleasure Whip and not leather.

The Tantric Alchemist is a work on alchemy as decoded by Tantra and a work on Tantra as understood by alchemists. It uncovers works by Thomas Vaughan and suggests how he and his wife--a 17th-century Welsh couple unique in the history of western alchemy--met their fate when dealing with forces they knew only too well, but which were stronger than their ability to control them.Using the works of Vaughan as his text, Levenda applies the "twilight language" of Tantra to the surreal prose of the alchemist and in the process lays bare the lineaments of the arcane tradition that gave rise to the legend of Christian Rosenkreutz, the reputed founder of Rosicrucianism who learned his art in the East; and to the 19th- and 20th-century occult movements lead by such luminaries as P.B. Randolph, Theodore Reuss, Helena Blavatsky, and Aleister Crowley who also sought (and discovered) this technology in the religions and cultures of Asia.Readers will find that the many disparate threads of an authentic spiritual tradition are woven together here in a startling tapestry that reveals--without pretense or euphemism--the psycho-sexual technique that is at the root of both Tantra and alchemy: that is to say, of both Asian and European forms of esoteric praxis.

A highly practical form of mysticism, Mahayana Buddhism offers precise techniques for attaining wisdom by negating the ego and entering the bliss of divinity.

The Hindu pantheon is rich in images of the divine feminine―deities representing a wide range of symbolic, social, and meditative meanings. David Kinsley's new book documents a highly unusual group of ten Hindu tantric goddesses, the Mahavidyas, many of whom are strongly associated with sexuality and violence. What is one to make of a goddess who cuts her own head off, or one who prefers sex with a corpse? The Mahavidyas embody habits, attributes, or identities usually considered repulsive or socially subversive and can be viewed as "antimodels" for women. Yet it is within the context of tantric worship that devotees seek to identify themselves with these forbidding goddesses. The Mahavidyas seem to function as "awakeners"―symbols which help to project one's consciousness beyond the socially acceptable or predictable.Drawing on a broad range of Sanskrit and vernacular texts as well as extensive research in India, including written and oral interpretations of contemporary Hindu practitioners, Kinsley describes the unusual qualities of each of the Mahavidyas and traces the parallels between their underlying themes. Especially valuable are the many rare and fascinating images he presents―each important to grasping the significance of the goddesses. Written in an accessible, engaging style, Kinsley's book provides a comprehensive understanding of the Mahavidyas and is also an overview of Hindu tantric practice.
