When I first met my guru and teacher in India, I was looking to learn Yoga. I was fascinated by the Yoga tradition and the deep knowledge it contained. On the day we met, I walked into a Yoga hall in Rishikesh, India, listened to a lecture he gave, and I was amazed. I felt as if I had just been introduced to secrets I had been searching for my whole life.
My teacher was speaking about certain teachings from Yoga and then he began talking about Tantra. That was the first time I had ever been exposed to Tantra and its hidden meanings. Step by step and month by month, my teacher took me through the teachings of Tantra and revealed the secrets that this supreme spiritual system has to share. It was a revelation that would have a huge impact on my life from then on.
In the years to come I became a tantric man myself and a teacher of Tantra. I saw how the knowledge of Tantra had the potential to change peoples lives for the better and to bestow remarkable benefits.
Tantra is an ancient science that includes a complete understanding of the universe and reality. It is a path of evolution and, therefore, includes within its lore a wide variety of different aspects, from diet to energy, from metaphysics to daily applications, from astronomy and astrology to the use of colors and sounds, from mantrasand cosmic powers to sexuality and true love. It is, in my humble opinion, the most valuable and comprehensive science humanity has ever known. For centuries and even millennia, it has been kept more or less secret, yet in the last few decades it has become more accessible to those fortunate to find authentic teachings and to realize their amazing value and potential. In this book, I chose to focus mostly on the sexual teachings of Tantra. In my experience as a Tantra teacher, I have found that most people respond very directly and powerfully to the tantric sexual teachings. As for the metaphysical, philosophical, meditative, and purely yogicaspects of Tantra, as much as they are superior to any other system powerful and awe-inspiring those aspects are less accessible for the average tantric enthusiast.Moreover, the sexual teachings of Tantra are very urgently needed in our modern society, in which so many couples and individuals are seeking meaningful sexuality and relationships, as well as a way to reach a deeper connection with each other. Thus, I have found that the tantric sexual teachings are a blessing to nearly all seekers, having brought great transformation and fulfillment to many.
