Royal Path Of Shakti

The first step-by-step guide to the techniques of Kaula Tantra, the practical yogini path to enlightenment • Details the erotic and magical practices of Kaula Tantra as well as the arcane principles to activate each technique • Includes a complete translation of the Kaulajnananirnaya Tantra from Sanskrit • Explores Kaula techniques for acquiring siddhis—magical powers—as well as sacred protection and black magic practices Written in the 8th century by the sage Matsyendranatha, the Kaulajnananirnaya Tantra records the secret erotic and magical practices of the Yogini Kaula tradition, a tradition focused on practical methods for attaining enlightenment. Although the text contains roughly 60 practices, it was written in a “twilight language” that obscures the secret principles that make the techniques work. It is the role of a master to awaken the initiate to the esoteric meaning of the practices within the text.
