Yoga-Tantra and Sensuousness in Art
The word yoga perhaps received the highest attention of readers among other Sanskrit words and the word is being interpreted, globally. In this book the author makes a humble attempt to explain the word yoga. During the course of exploring the meaning, certain related aspects needed discussions. These include an analysis of the philosophy of yoga-tantra, a clear-cut understanding of Ulta-Sadhana or Regressive Process, etc.
The Touch of Sakti
The Kashmirian Saiva tradition, especially in its non-dualistic form, is perhaps the richest philosophical one in India. It is among the few that have survived to our days. It has even spread (if in not always very valid versions) to the Western world. A study such as this one, on the particularly interesting subject of saktisparsa, cannot therefore but be welcome.

Spanda-Karikas
Pratyabhijnahrdayam
The Paratrisika (or Paratrimsika) is a short Tantra which has been held in the highest esteem by Kashmir Saivism or Trika. After Somananda, Abhinavagupta has written two Commentaries on it, a short one and an extensive one the present Vivarana which is presented here for the first time in an English translation.
The present translation of Abhinavagupta's masterpiece will not only be a milestone in the study of Kashmir Saivism, but it also makes available one of the major mystical texts of the Indian tradition to readers interested in philosophy and spirituality.
Siva Sutras
Siva Sutras are considered to be a revealed book of the Yoga : supreme identity of the individual self with the divine. Here an English translation of the Siva Sutras has been provided, together with the commentary of Ksemaraja. A long introduction, together with an abstract of each sutra, throws a flood of light on the entire system of Saiva Yoga. A glossary of technical terms and index are appended for the convenience of the reader.
Saundaryalahari of Sankaracarya
The Saundaryalahari has fascinated and puzzled generations of scholars and laypersons; subject to continuing study and debate, till today, such details as the authorship of the 100 verses named the Saundaryalahari remain a matter of contention, particularly among scholars.
Nataraja Guru worked on the translation and commentary of the Saundaryalahari for a period of three and a half years, it is his last work and comes at the end of a life dedicated to the pursuit of the Absolute and those familiar with his work will recognize in it a kind of summing up of his life and teachings.
