Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra: The 112 Gateways to Supreme Consciousness
One hundred and twelve doors. One reality behind them all.
The Vijnana Bhairava Tantra is Kashmir’s timeless manual of meditation: 112 dharanas, or contemplative gateways, spoken by Bhairava to the Goddess.
Each method transforms an ordinary moment into a direct recognition of the Self:
the pause between two breaths,
the gap between two thoughts,
the peak of joy,
the depth of silence,
and the space within the heart.
This edition presents the complete teaching in clear, powerful English. Every method includes its Sanskrit root verse, a faithful translation, and a full contemplative exposition covering the technique, the inner mechanics, and the philosophy.
The verse references have been carefully audited one by one against the Sanskrit root text, so what you read reflects what the Tantra actually says.
Inside, you will find:
• All 112 dharanas in sequence — from the breath methods to the final contemplations on the Self in all beings
• The opening dialogue between Bhairava and the Goddess — along with the text’s place in the Trika tradition of Kashmir
• Accurate presentations of the classical commentaries of Ksemaraja, Sivopadhyaya, and Anandabhatta
• A complete concordance mapping every method to its root verses
• A glossary of Sanskrit terms and a guide for further study
For the seeker who wants the real text, taught completely, clearly, and honestly.
Your purchase includes: the EPUB edition for phone, tablet, and e-reader apps, plus the complete 549-page PDF edition with cover.
