Reseña del editor

The essence of this eloquent Tantric scripture, written in the eleventh century by Kshemaraja, is brought to life by Swami Khecaranatha’s in-depth commentary. His explanation of this powerful text reveals not only its philosophical meaning but the relevance of its ancient words to the modern reader’s life and spiritual practice. Khecaranatha explores the wisdom and practices embedded in the sutras and how to apply them to one’s own sadhana. Throughout the book, Khecaranatha reiterates his central message: Our own heart is where we recognize the highest truth in life, which is that we are an individuated expression of the Divine. He illuminates the Tantric exposition of how manifest life arose from Supreme Consciousness, how that Divinity gave birth to us, and the choice each of us has to discover and permanently experience our own connection with our Source. With a mastery etched from four decades of disciplined inner practice and selfless service, Swami Khecaranatha is an authentic adept and recognized carrier of Tantric Shaivism in the Shaktipat Lineage of Bhagavan Nityananda and Swami Rudrananda. In 2002 he took vows of sannyas, formally committing his life to teaching and serving unconditionally. Khecaranatha’s ability to transmit a living spiritual force and to elucidate ancient Eastern teachings offers practitioners the extraordinary possibility of making contact with the highest consciousness within themselves. Reflecting a profound depth of insight into spiritual freedom, Khecaranatha is a living embodiment of the Tantric understanding that all of life is one vibrant expression and celebration of Divine Consciousness. He is the author of several books on Kundalini Yoga and Tantric Shaivism, including Depth Over Time and Merging With the Divine, One Day at a Time. Swami Khecaranatha currently resides in Berkeley, California, where he serves as the spiritual leader of TrikaShala, his Kundalini meditation center. “Swami Khecaranatha’s teachings coincide with the Trika school of Shaivism. He has attained a deep understanding of the teachings of Anuttara Trika through the transmission of his teachers, a lifetime of practice, profound personal experience, and selfless service.” --Mark Dyczkowski, one of the world’s foremost authorities on Kashmiri Shaivism
