Tantra: the Path to Ecstasy

Georg Feuerstein dispels the many popular misconceptions about Tantra - confused in the West with eroticism and licentious sex - to show how Tantra is really about the attainment of spiritual power. Tantra's 5th-century beginnings have their roots in the Upanishads, and Feuerstein shows how Tantra crossed over from Hinduism to Jainism to Vajrayana Buddhism. The book provides readers with a clear understanding of the original Tantras, and guidance for spiritual practice and the attainment of higher states of consciousness.
