A Practice of Tantra

Tantric meditation, a practical and powerful technique to go beyond the mind and the ego to arrive at the ultimate ground of Being, has profound implications for everyday life. The practice of Tantra can work for anyone who is able to open the chakras that comprise the subtle body, and has the strong discipline to persevere in the face of the ego’s resistance to liberation. Although it is not required to be a Hindu or a Buddhist to practice Tantra, this book examines the strong connection between Tantra and the metaphysical philosophies of India and Tibet. The main goal of this book is to describe and amplify an authentic and workable practice of Tantra, first originated by my teacher Rudi (Swami Rudrananda, 1928-1973), while clarifying many popular misconceptions about Tantric practice.
