Editorial Reviews

Review

A beautifully crafted book. Johari skillfully takes us into the machinery of Hindu metaphysics, a nerve system vehicle that navigates the invisible frontiers of consciousness...compressed with detail. -- Hinduism Today

Among the best of Western explications, combining traditional, visionary, and practical views...illustrated, detailed, and accessible to the neophyte. -- East West

For Harish Johari--artist, composer, teacher, tantric devotee--desire is the brush and the five senses are the palette. -- Yoga Journal

Nowhere else will the Western reader find so much valuable information on this ancient tradition in one place. -- Branches of Light, Spring into Summer 2001

5.0 out of 5 stars A Chakra guide, May 17, 2000
By A Customer
This book introduces the reader to the system of energy - nadi & chakra - in our body as described in the ancient Indian tantric scriptures. Each major chakra in our body/mind system is described in detail, including the powers of the chakra and accompamying sounds (beeja mantra) to harmonise the chakra. By following these, the reader can start working on their chakras and improve their wellbeing.

The author's accompanying audio tape is very useful to learn to pronounce the Chakra hormonising sounds (beeja mantra) correctly, which is very important.

I found this book and the audio tape a useful and a simple guide to meditate (reciting beeja mantra)on the chakras without undergoing hardship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basic Information for a Beginner, July 6, 1997
By A Customer
Having only recently entered the world of kundalini, this book gave me exactly the information I wanted. Its combination of visual and verbal descriptions help me improve concentration and achieve purer meditation. Rather than focusing on the sensational, Johari presents the philosophic significance of the chakras. This is the exact information that I needed to begin to progress. A companion tape, discovered accidentally, gives the bija sounds and further enhances the experience. Thumbs up

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable guide and reference work, October 11, 2003
The energy vortices or charkas are located within the cerebrospinal system and are the points of interaction between the spirit and the body. Each of the 7 main charkas is also connected to certain glands in the body and therefore has a role in the hormonal system.

The psychophysical energy dealt with here is electrochemical and operates through the life force (prana) that moves through the body along the nadi channels. The seven main chakras are all connected to the main nadi. By understanding this system one can cultivate a higher state of being.

This illuminating and comprehensive book includes the following chapters: 1. The Principles of Tantra Yoga, with a section on states of consciousness; 2. Kundalini Yoga; 3. The Essentials of the Chakras; 4. Chakras, Rebirth & Spirituality. The appendix consists of extracts from the Hindu scriptures on the various stages of Yoga.

The aforementioned Chapter 3 deals with each of the chakras in turn, providing a description of each, the psychological energies that operate in it, the shape, yantra and color of each chakra, its predominating sense aspects, its seed sound (bija), number of petals, residing deity and ruling planet. It was interesting to learn about the Soma Chakra, an unnumbered energy point also called Amirta or Indu, that resides within the 7th or Sahasrara chakra.

The principles of the chakra system and practical applications are discussed in detail, including visualization techniques. The text is enhanced by beautiful color paintings of each energy vortex plus plenty of interesting black and white illustrations. The book concludes with a glossary and index.

Johari's revised and expanded edition of Chakras is a very accessible work and packed with facts. As such it is ideal for both the novice and the advanced energy worker. It provides all the information, techniques and tools to activate one's energy system for enhancing spiritual growth, balanced emotions and mental and physical well-being.

Why Not?
This book is very confusing, it uses a lot of sanskrit words,
which just makes it impossible to comprehend. Read more
