“We worship the Three-eyed Lord who is fragrant and who nourishes all beings.
“As the ripened cucumber is freed from its bondage to the creeper, may He liberate us from Death for the sake of Immortality.”
Deep within the mysterious caves of the Himalayas, saturated by the cosmic radiations of the sacred Mount Kailas and Lake Manasarovar, manifests a radically unique current of Esoteric Hinduism: A Tantric Physics.
First explored in Tantric Physics Vol. I: Cave of the Numinous, the new release from Anathema Publishing, Tantric Physics II: Sacred Body, Sacred Space continues to express the haunting inner realizations of initiatic perceptions. Embracing both the Right-Hand and Left-Hand Paths, the text reveals a unique vision of a Tantric Physics utilizing all branches of Vaidika sciences: Yoga, Ayurveda, Jyotish, Vedanta, and Tantra.
Far from a dry academic text, Tantric Physics II: Sacred Body, Sacred Space reveals an intensely personal initiatic vision of the human body, Shivaite and Vaishnava gnostic streams, and the mysterious path of the Aghori leading unto the Womb of the Dark Goddess in all Her intoxicating manifestations.
Included within the upcoming publication is the reprint of the long sold-out Tantric Physics I: Cave of the Numinous, which presents critical preparatory materials for the shadowy pathways in the smashan of Tantric Physics.
“I will meet you in the smashan under the waning moon, the smell of burning flesh reminds us of MahaMaya, did they hear Your voice at Golgotha?
“We welcome the demons who consume our samskaras, clearing the path to your Embrace, Sri Gopisvara Mahadeva…”
A rather shallow book with not much information on Tantrik practices and philosophy. The book reads more like Guénonian theosophy than a book on tantra. People interested in tantra are better off reading books by Mark S. G. Dyczkowski, Swami Lakshmanjoo, Kavitha Chinnaiyan, Daniel Odier, or Christopher D Wallis rather than wasting their time on this overpriced thin on content book.
A shallow book that cost a small fortune compared to other books on the subject. I could be wrong because I'm more versed in Shiviate and Tibetan Tantrik practices rather than the Krishna-focused version so maybe it is vastly different but in those traditions left-hand path focused on nonduality. This book comes across as more dualistic than Siethan Gnosticism. The book is also scant with information. A reader could easily get more info out of Phil Hine's inexpensive chapbooks than what could be found here. Also, Craig Williams' prose are pretty poor especially in book one. I'm not sure what the hype on this guy is but I regret my purchase and will most likely sell my copy when the ebay market goes up a little bit for it.
You can see clearly through this inspiring book that Mr. Williams has a very deep knowledge about Vedanta, Ayurveda, Tantra and esoteric hinduism. He manages it to communicate very complex topics in such a clear way so that someone really interested in will benefit a lot of this deep insights found within. A true seeker will surely release that even the process of just reading the book will already start a transformation of the mindscape of the reader. This is really a fascinating piece of transformative art.
Definitely not for beginners, this volume of Left-Hand path initiation provided me with unique information on subjects such as the soul, evolution without the dissolution of the Ego, fact that so many deem to be inevitable and necessary. The characteristics of the entities that this volume speaks of are hard to grasp, but taking some meditative time to contemplate will help understanding the matter.
