Lord of the Living Light - Tantric Poetry book

Tantric poetry may not be something you are familiar with but there is a long tradition of it reaching back to the 12th century in India and Kashmir. The poems in this collection stand in this tradition of mystical poetesses and seers such as Lalla and Akka,

The poems express direct, lived experiences of tantra understood in the traditional sense – as a deeply sensual intimacy and intercourse with the Divine. Though many of the poems are quite erotic the primary medium of this intercourse is not the sexuality of the physical body but that of the soul and its body. This is our body of sensual, feeling awareness, inwardly felt, shape-shifting, connecting us with the depth of the Great Mother Mahakali’s womb, with the heights of pure awareness that are Shiva, and with the universe that is the fruit of their union.

The book also gives comprehensive instructions for those who might want to engage in tantric meditation themselves.

If you want a copy and but don’t want to order from the US, you can also order one from me by e-mail (£7.90 + £1.95p&p, U.K. only).
