A Glossary of Tantra, Mantra and Yantra

The world of Tantra is a world of Highest Knowledge and Occult powers and therefore, to an outsider, has remained an enigma and mystery. Efforts are made in the Tantric traditions to keep the esoteric knowledge under wraps of mystery, and therefore, a web of technical terms and cryptic words have been used to explain the mystical philosophies and the tantric practices. Consequently, in modern times, a seeker finds it difficult to unravel the truth behind the tantric texts because often a reader has no access to Sanskrit Dictionaries where such cryptic words are explained, and even when they are available, often each Sanskrit word has several meanings, and to select the most apt meaning with reference to the context is a daunting challenge.

This Book is a glossary of all such complex, technical and cryptic terminologies which are used in the tantric texts, and a serious effort has been made by the publishing team to compile an authentic glossary. Correct rendition of these words in English language was a huge challenge, and therefore the text has been reviewed and edited to ensure the authenticity of the Glossary.

The first edition of the book was highly appreciated and accepted by the scholars and the aspirants. This is the Second edition which has been revised and enlarged, and several Yantras have been added. It is very useful book for studies of Tantra,Mantra and Yantra Literature.
