"The Study of Tantra has been handicapped and complicated by
the preoccupations of the writers in this field which has given rise
to various theoretical approaches, each claiming to explain all the
intricacies of the subject in its own way."

The Present Work, though non-technical, is comprehensive and
deals with Tantric terms and concepts pertaining to various
religious systems as well as throws light on the extra religious
content of Tantrism. Hence, it explains chemical and medical
sciences, philosophy, metaphysics and epistemology, yoga and
physical postures. It also examines briefly the Tantric deities,
hundreds of gods and goddesses, as well as Tantric texts.

All key entries include references. The book has a scholarly
introduction by the author.

An excellent work for the interested reader, scholar and student.
