Tantra Illuminated: The Philosophy, History, and Practice of a Timeless Tradition is Christopher D. Wallis’s scholarly introduction to Tantra, tracing its origins, teachings, lineages, and practices through primary Sanskrit sources. The book presents Tantra as a profound spiritual tradition that emerged in northern India and explains its philosophy, history, and transformative methods in accessible language. It is especially strong on Kashmir Shaivism and the inner logic of Tantric practice.
