Book Description

Purpose of this Commentary

Yoni Tantra is a sacred and secret scripture for initiates of the Tantra tradition. Many references to this work in the West show a degree of misunderstanding of its true import. Yoga Niketan is pleased to present a fresh translation of key verses and a short commentary upon them in the light of Kriya Yoga, the sublime system taught by the revered Yogiraj Shyama Charan Lahiri Mahasaya.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"On New Moon, at night-time, having gone to a crossroads a man should worship with the Tattva essence the Goddess in the Form of the Yoni, Her who contains the whole world." (2.11)"He should prostrate himself like a stick and then display the Yonimudra. One who is ever devoted to the Yoni and to Sadhana, O beloved, with him Durga is pleased - what other words are there to say?" (3.24-25a)"What is there by merely bathing in the Ganga, what by revering holy places and the like? There is no devotion comparable to the one given to the Yoni, all else is worthless." (6.7b-8a)

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for advanced seekers of God only, November 30, 2006

This review is from: Yoni Tantra Commentary on Selected Verses In Light of Kriya Yoga (Paperback)

Firstly, I wish to state that this book is a bit difficult to understand for the novice spiritual seekers. The verses in the Yoni Tantra would be shocking to some readers and they would most likely misunderstand the real meaning behind these sacred verses.

However, the commentaries which are provided in this book somewhat helps the reader to comprehend the real meaning behind these verses. This would only be possible if the reader has been practicing meditation or some other spiritual exercises in the Kriya tradition for a few years. If the reader is able to understand and apply the meaning of these verses in their daily lives, then this book is a priceless treasure.

Additionally I wish to state that this book is not for everyone. Most people in particular, would derive no benefit from reading this book. This is because the reader should have a strong understanding of deep spiritual Truths before attempting to go through this sacred book. The huge degree of misunderstanding of this text by Westerners and novice spiritual seekers shows that without at least a basic realization of Truth, this book would be misinterpreted greatly.

In conclusion, the reason I gave this book a 5-star rating is because this text has given me a deeper understanding of Yoni Tantra and deepened my knowledge of Tantra in general. Highly recommended for advanced seekers on the spiritual path.

This review is from: Yoni Tantra Commentary on Selected Verses In Light of Kriya Yoga (Paperback)

not a very clear book. talks more of various tantra to satisfy goddess. it could have done better had it talked about how these tantras have worked on its performers and its repercussions. i will not recomend the book to anyone who it looking for insight knowledge about yoni tantra. its more of a sketch...a briefing....an outline....but very unclear.

This review is from: Yoni Tantra Commentary on Selected Verses In Light of Kriya Yoga (Kindle Edition)

Yoni Tantra In Light of Kriya Yoga is an excellent book for advanced kriyabans which in my humble opinion is not recommended for the neophyte or curious seeker. It is an esoteric treatise based on the kriya yoga tradition.
