The gateways to wonder and delight are flung open wide for all to enter. At once a beautiful love song and an encyclopedia of yogic techniques, the cherished text known as the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra shimmers with new effulgence in Lorin Roche's The Radiance Sutras. Lorin brings us his unique perspective on each of 112 Sanskrit teachings, along with his one-of-a-kind guidance in how to meditate with, embody, and practice them―what he describes as "answering the call of the sutras you love." Here is an invitation to experience directly the ecstatic depths of yoga as revealed by the divine partners Shiva and Shakti, through an intimate exploration of: The divinity that is permeating your body at this very moment • The alchemical power of Sanskrit • Yoga meditation―harmonizing all the elements and levels of your being • The depths of your connection to the energies of life Taken as a whole, this teaching is startling in its breadth and the huge range of human experience that it encompasses. This is a book to savor one phrase at a time, over a period of days or years or a lifetime. With The Radiance Sutras, yoga and meditation students everywhere can nurture their own relationship with these living wisdom teachings. Review: Wonderful! - A wonderful way to see life. A perspective of life, our breath and silence that shows your where you are missing that juice or zest of life. If you want to see the world like Rumi then this shows you exactly what you’re missing from your daily experiences. The ecstasy of the pause between breaths, the hum of the space that touches our skin, the blissful sound of silence. What a way to see the world?!?!!! Review: The most beautiful book - I love the translations of this ancient collection of sutras into contemporary English, with a clear understanding of quantum physics underpinning the extremely lyrical and insightful re-wording. The inclusion of the sanskrit and devangiri text is a bonus, but really, it is the beautiful translations which make this book so special.

The most beautiful book
I love the translations of this ancient collection of sutras into contemporary English, with a clear understanding of quantum physics underpinning the extremely lyrical and insightful re-wording.

So I had a beautiful meditation experience during my stay
Looking forward to reading the book. At first glance, it seems to be one of the magical books that one can dip into from time to time, to receive the message one needs at that moment. The morning the book arrived, I was going away for the weekend to stay at a friend's cottage. So I did not have the time to read the book. I opened the book randomly, it opened on the page Anahata with a mention of a meditation practice of listening to the sound of water. As I read it I wondered if there was water near where I was going to stay and sure enough there was a river going past her doorstep. So I had a beautiful meditation experience during my stay. If I had not read about this meditation in the book, I would have never thought of listening to the water there. So grateful for the book and for being able to find my way to it.

Arrived promptly. Only dipped in so far but what ...
Arrived promptly. Only dipped in so far but what I have read I have found to transmit a depth in its poetic simplicity. I am grateful to have such an accessible translation of an early and important text.

For the tantrika
If you like your meditation cues in the form of mildly erotically charged poetry....this is for you. ******* I hope you can read the dry humour in that! I tested myself to a paper copy and honestly it’s a lot easier to dip into than the kindle. Well worth having both, as these bite sized meditation cues ask you to take everyday sensual actions and experiences and dive into a meditation with them. Sometimes I do have a lil giggle things do get, as I said, erotically charged

Beyond a Book!!!!
This book is astounding....a totally ALIVE interpretation of this ancient and timeless text. Each page you red will imbibe you with the nectar of these meditations and fill you with love and truth. This book would be my Desert Island book...if I could only take one with me this would be it!
