Soft cover. Zustand: New. 2nd Edition. The Mahanirvana Tantra is one of the most important texts of the Tantric tradition. It is a dialogue between Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati, in which he reveals the secrets of the supreme reality and the path to liberation. The text covers topics such as cosmology, ethics, yoga, ritual, mantra, meditation, and worship. It also contains instructions for various rites and ceremonies, such as initiation, cremation, marriage, and worship of the Shakti. The Mahanirvana Tantra was translated into English by M.N. Dutta in the late 19th century. He based his translation on a Bengali manuscript that he obtained from a Tantric practitioner. However, his translation has been criticized for being inaccurate, incomplete, and biased. He omitted many verses, changed the meaning of some terms, and added his own interpretations and comments. In order to provide a more faithful and reliable translation of the Mahanirvana Tantra, DR.N.C.PANDA has edited and revised Dutta's translation. He has consulted several manuscripts and commentaries, corrected many errors and inconsistencies, and restored the original structure and sequence of the text. He has also added notes and explanations to clarify the difficult and obscure passages. His edition is a valuable contribution to the study and practice of Tantra.

Yoga contrary to the popular perception is not merely a system of physical culture. It is in fact a uniquely Indian discipline aiming to bring about the union of an individual spirit with the universal spirit the cosmic consciousness through what in Yoga is known as samadhi a state of profound meditation.

Panda who has had a lifetime involvement with the science and practice of Yoga outlines the eight limbs of Patanjala Yoga with added emphasis on meditation in all its three stages dharana dhyana and samadhi and how this ancient system of bodily and mental control is found to have a strong scientific basis. Offered in three parts the book focuses in Part 1 one the practice of meditation with detailed guidelines concerning the relevant Yogic postures Yogic breathing and breath control. Part 2 presents Patanjali's classical Yogic theories showing how these are validated by modern science. In part 3 the author explains in pure scientific terms the physical psychic therapeutic and spiritual benefits surfacing from the practice of meditation. Comprising comprehensive glossary of Sanskrit technical terms and numerous illustrations it is invaluable to medical scientist/researchers/anyone interested in Yogic meditation and leading to a holistic healthy and creative life. 336 pp.

No doubt, a Tantric worshipper or Sadhaka may get real peace of heart and attain liberation after following the esoteric practices enunciated therein. This new edition contains the original Sanskrit text along with the most famous commentary of Laksmidhara. Besides, the English translation, explanatory notes and transliteration of the verses are also added with it.
