Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Head of the Himalayn International Institute, Tiguanit offers a clear, calm, open guide to Tantric practices that are often shrouded in mysterious language; mantras, chakras, and symbolic hand-gestures are all clearly explained and illustrated. This primer is perhaps as good a printed guide to esoteric Hindu practice as the uninitiated Western seeker can hope to find. For larger collections.

Review

"Pandit Rajmani is perhaps the most important teacher of Tantra in America today. His work is both practical and accessible, while maintaining a deep spiritual and meditative vision. His insight is original and creative but in harmony with lasting traditions and proven teachings.

TANTRA UNVEILED is an inspiring work that shows the reader the keys to mind-body transformation, to a personal and spiritual unfoldment that integrates our full human potential." -- -David Frawley, author of Yoga and Ayurveda

"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. He also generously shares with them a precious practical ritual of the Sri Vidya school." -- Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D: Author of The Yoga Tradition, The Shambhala Encyclopedia of Yoga, ect; Director of Yoga Research Center

"Tantra...has for too long been portrayed as a religion of sexual excess...Pandit Tigunait clarifies 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." -- Dr. Robert E. Svoboda, BAMS Author, Aghora: At the Left Hand of God; Faculty, The Ayurvedic Institute

"Wonderfully done. TANTRA UNVEILED is a riveting narrative...this book at once engages us, aids us, inspires us, and illumines us. Herein lies the questand a read par excellence." -- Professor John Grimes, Department of Religious Studies, Michigan State University

5.0 out of 5 stars Illuminating the truth hidden by ignorance., May 24, 2001
By BRENDEN SKUDDER (Auckland New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tantra Unveiled (Paperback)
When one thinks of Tantra, one's mind swings to the notion of sexual practices that are viewed by most schools of thought as taboo. However "Tantra Unveiled" reveals the truth behind the Vedic science that is shrouded in mystery. This is achieved by giving all facts about Tantra that have been hidden due to the focus on ritual sex that, in itself is grossly misunderstood and abused. Pandit Rajami Tigunait writing style is easy to read and he presents information in a clear and precise manner. This coupled with his personal accounts of the practice of Tantric teachings and his experiences with his Guru, make for a most enjoyable lesson on the Tantric science. Any person put off by the widely held image of Tantra will be pleasantly surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Introduction to Tantra without any hype, July 18, 2002
By Narayan Iyer (Framingham, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tantra Unveiled (Paperback)
I agree with the first reviewer(who gave 2 stars), that the title is a tad aggressive, however, that is no reason for giving such a low rating for this phenomenal book. The book gives a fantastic introduction to Tantra, its various aspects and the different schools in a simple, unambigous and concise manner. This book contains unadulterated, unalloyed and authentic information on Tantra as it is practiced by the Himalayan adepts.Honestly, I found it difficult to put the book down.

The Author Pandit Rajmani Tigunait is a scholar in Sanskrit and Tantra and a student of Swami Rama, who is/was one of the Himalayan Adepts. He belongs to the lineage of the Himalayan Sages going all the way back to Sage Sanat Kumara.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Overview of Tantra, November 26, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tantra Unveiled (Paperback)
This book is very easy to read. It is also very interesting and you'll probably read it in one breath, or rather in a day - without putting the book down.

I am delighted that this book was written. It brings to light Tantra which is very different than the kind popularized in the West.

The author shares a few stories about the powers developed by genuine tantrik masters. Not that one has go after any powers - the powers simply unfold even spontaneously in an individual who is practicing "merging" or rather "at-one-ment" with the Infinite, whatever form It may take.

Few practices are mentioned and what is mentioned is more for the purpose of giving the reader a taste of it, rather than as a means of complete practice. On the other hand, even though methods, techniques and rituals in their fullness are not disclosed and the authors states that they are transmitted directly from teacher to student - those who are familiar even with Western esoteric tradition, with cultivation of Sexual Energy from Taoist tradition, and have been practicing meditation for the purpose of experiencing Oneness with the Infinite - will find similarities.

The author appropriately mentions that nothing gets an individual so interested to explore further than having an actual experience of "power". I fully agree - but the example which is offered in this book as something that is supposed to provide the reader with the "speedy" experience of power (as a remedy for calming phobia, nightmares or disturbed sleep) takes about 120 days to complete - the first 3 steps of this method are each to be done for 40 days. While repeating Gayatri mantra thousands of times and drawing Om Namah Shivaya has many other benefits - I can think of many other ways of getting rid of phobias, nightmares or disturbed sleep in one day (including self-hypnosis and NLP) as opposite to 120 days. At least among the numerous powers listed to be obtained in the initial practices of tantra - even whether to create a change in oneself of in other, I can also think of many other ways of creating such effects in a day or a couple of days, instead of 120 days. I have been working with Om Namah Shivaya mantra for too long to be a fair judge regarding how much time it takes to become aware of its effectiveness, but come to think of it - at least as far as fears and phobias go, there are numerous people to whom I suggested to use Om Namah Shivaya mantra and all of them have experienced practically instant results.

This book, short as it is, does give enough hints to help you to actually experience some effects of using few mantras and it gives few more hints if you want to proceed along this path.
