Vigyan Bhairav Tantra

This short work presents a classic Tantric scripture on meditation, set out as a dialogue in which the god Shiva answers questions posed by his consort Parvati about the nature of reality and how one might move beyond ordinary perception of space and time. Rather than answering directly, Shiva offers a series of 112 techniques, each given in brief, condensed form that invites the reader to explore and expand on it through practice. The translation aims to stay faithful to the original Sanskrit. The methods are presented as suitable for practitioners of any temperament and level of spiritual development, and the book is intended for anyone seeking a practical path to self-realisation through meditation.
