Tantra Illuminated takes the listener on a fascinating journey to the very heart of original Tantra: its key teachings, foundational lineages, and transformative practices. Since the West's discovery of Tantra 100 years ago, there has been considerable fascination, speculation, and more than a little misinformation about this spiritual movement. Now, for the first time in the English language, Tantra Illuminated presents an accessible introduction to this sacred tradition that began 1,500 years ago in the far north of India.

Beautifully done

I've listened while doing the dishes and I've listened while sitting quietly; the first was interesting and the latter was profoundly moving.

Snap, crackle, pop!

I think this might have been a really interesting book, but there were some issues with the recording that made it almost impossible to listen to. Throughout, there are all kinds of crackling and clicking sounds that are magnified to a distracting degree. I think the narrator had a really dry mouth and that the microphone was too sensitive. The fact that this is a quiet kind of book with lots of pauses made the distracting noises even more noticeable. I stuck with it to the end because it was so short, but for me the book was really un-listenable.
