These books will surely free us from a negative opinion which we all generally have on Aghoras and their Tantrik practices. Having read all the three of the Aghora series books,ie,Aghora 1,Kundalini & Karma, gave me a better picture of the Tantrik practices in general, how kundalini is connected to our perception of the world around us which makes our perspective on the same ,& then about karma which was the first read among the three above presented a lucid understanding of this perplexing Law of Karma(a lot of references from the Indian history). But, at the end, it seemed that the book was really, REALLY, trying to explain some concepts, and not trying to bore us with someone’s tall tales. The book also benefits from the scholarly treatment that it has received, courtesy the illustrations, captions, and appendix by Robert Beer.Īt times, all the illustrations and accompanying explanations made me feel dizzy, if not utterly soporific. But it turned out to be a more literate & proper exposition of some of these questions, and the description of the journey that one takes when the fantastic voyage towards finding that mysterious power commences. How can one harness it to the best possible extent?Īll these questions have not been answered in this book, since it’s not a guide-book or manual. What are the pitfalls associated with the search for it? Tantra, and almost every scripture, describes that latent potential and hidden power as Kundalini. All spiritual leaders and good teachers of physical education tell us that the potential to do anything lies within our body. I’m talking about “Kundalini”, a concept that is omnipresent in Indian literature, and yet which is almost impossible to describe & discuss in meaningful terms. The book deals with a special concept that has been the elephant in the room, as far as discussions on Tantra is concerned. Nevertheless, as far as my reading experience is concerned, this book, which is the 2nd one in the trilogy composed by the author, turned out to be far better compared to the first book, in terms of readability. Spiritual books, especially those dealing with a devotee’s personal experiences, are difficult to review, since the author as well as the reader, both are subjective to the extreme, and both go through the process with something to prove.
