TANTRA UNVEILED
Seducing the Forces of Matter and Spirit
by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Ph.D.
"TANTRA UNVEILED is a most valuable addition to the literature on Tantra. It combines
excellent scholarship with an initiate's firsthand knowledge of the subject. Through many
colorful anecdotes of his own encounters with Tantric adepts, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait
affords his readers a unique glimpse into the living heart of real Tantra."

"TANTRA UNVEILED...shows the reader the keys to mind-body transformation, to a personal
and spiritual unfoldment...The book contains both wonderful stories and powerful teach-
ings on many levels that gives it a special appeal. It shows the magic of Tantra as a living
tradition, a current of blissful shakti that can renew and revitalize our lives."

"Tantra...has for too long been portrayed as a religion of sexual excess...Pandit Tigunait
clatifies these and other misconceptions in TANTRA UNVEILED...[His] level of
erudition...hold[s] the reader's attention from beginning to end as he portrays
Tantra...as an experiential path...The book is chock full of detailed information...a
worthy addition to any numinous bookshelf."

par excellence."
