Tattwa Shuddhi: The Tantric Practice of Inner Purification

I bought the book after being initiated into this practice and found it bery useful and insightful. I would recommend that if you want to practice tattwa shuddi that the book is used inconjunction with an experienced teacher.

brilliant

The meditation technique for the actual practice of tattwa shuddhi - the inner purification is described on a few pages near the end of the book. The rest of the book goes into some detail over different tattwas.What I love the most about tantra is that it is practical and personally I am more interested in technique itself rather than in lengthy descriptions or theories, as I consider the personal experience of greatest importance.The technique in essence entails dissolving the elements, from the grossest to the subtlest - within one's body - into nothingness, and then reassembling them.Previous to working with this method, I have worked with Taoist method of purification of the elements within one's being, and with western Hermetic system (which even though derived from Indian yoga, is not the same as described in this book. The techniques of purification of the elements are all different and I have found them all valuable, as they all bring about different experiences.The technique described in this book is again adapted from the original, which according to the author is more challenging to understand, and yet I think it would be good to at least have a look at what are the original recommendations and how is it to be practiced. One of those recommendations seems to entail focusing on one tattwa for 2 days before moving onto the next, and I think it is a good idea.Apart from the technique for purification of the elements, and the suggested light died - preferably diet of fruits and steamed vegetables - during the practice, there are further recommendations that may not be practical for people living and working in the west (like shaving of the head) and using oil lamps, and some other details that one may need to adapt. The author offers variations for the practice where one may decide to engage in more intense practice, or to do practice at a lighter pace over the months or even over the years.

I highly recommend this book to everyone, even for those who are not acquainted with Tantra, as she makes a marvellous introduction on Tantra in the beginning of the book.A few people are aware that Yoga came from Tantra, it's important to point out that Tantra has nothing to do with the new age sex freaks, it's a system of practices which aims to bring humans to the upfront development, the Tattwa Shuddhi being just one of them.Good value for money, i highly recommend for those who have a practical approach rather than being just dabblers.

Not as good as Jonn Mumford's but an interesting read nontheless.

This book is very I’m informative and taught me a great practice

The book provided by seller is genuine and authentic. Quality of the book is very good. Packing is very good. Ontime delivery.

There is an easy to understand explanation of the yogic understanding of parts of mind, senses (both subtle and gross). The chakras are briefly explained and a practice is detailed that you could potentially read out to your class. Concise and to the point.

Ce livre présente une méthode de purification tirés de textes sacrés de l'Inde.Elle consiste en une méditation sur des symboles des éléments (avec leur mantras), une dissolution des éléments les uns dans les autres jusqu'à remonter au principe suprême, puis les redéployer transformé dans le corps. Est inclus un travail sur les forces de division, "négative" à l'intérieur que l'on purifie et réintègre en soit, retrouvant l'unité intérieur et la dissolution de la dualité.Je l'ai pratiqué plusieurs fois et trouve cela fort enrichissant.
