Summary
Tantra Illuminated takes the listener on a fascinating journey to the very heart of original Tantra: its key teachings, foundational lineages, and transformative practices. Since the West's discovery of Tantra 100 years ago, there has been considerable fascination, speculation, and more than a little misinformation about this spiritual movement. Now, for the first time in the English language, Tantra Illuminated presents an accessible introduction to this sacred tradition that began 1,500 years ago in the far north of India. Using translations from primary Sanskrit sources and offering a profound look at spiritual practice, this book reveals Tantra's rich history and powerful teachings.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Wonderful
Good fortune I stumbled on this book. Oh I wish I had been given this as an insight when I was a boy and watched all these rituals in temples in Tamilnadu. I was so ready to merge to my favourite God. Without knowing the significance of the rituals they became meaningless superstition to me. Tantra can easily revive in India if the teaching in this book were given to young children there. I see so many with passion and faith there. Most will loose their innocence in due time.
From personal perspective I am relieved to know that karmic patterns are can be lost by changing ones entire being. I highly recommend it.

more genuine than other tantra books I've read
although this book dosnt entirely match up with the understanding of traditional tantra that I study with Shri Kali, it clears up a lot of the confusion that new age neo tantra has created in day to day understanding.

Good
Any additional comments?
The author seems to suggest (especially in his last few chapters) that the foreigners discovered all these hidden treasures by themselves and brought it to the modern world. This completely negates the very essence of the topic of this book. The important thing is to spread the knowledge and make it accessible to everyone. We cannot find the names/authors for the Upanishads because spiritual gurus did not believe in egoistic name/fame. Obviously there are innumerable texts from various parts of the world and not one book can quench the thirst for the spiritual knowledge and growth.

A masterpiece
An absolute masterpiece, and I don’t say that lightly. As a practitioner/scholar, Christopher Wallis has a deep knowledge of the subject matter and his love for it shines through clearly. He is able to explain some complex ideas lucidly. At times there is clear emotion in his voice, it makes such a difference to have the author read his own material.
