Sinossi
Dopo una lunga frequentazione dei grandi libri dell'induismo e del tantrismo, a trent'anni, Daniel Odier si è ritrovato sulle colline verdeggianti dei contrafforti himalayani alla ricerca degli ultimi maestri del tantrismo shivaita, dei segreti dell'erotismo sacro. Odier non poteva sapere che laggiù l'attendeva Devi, la donna-yogin, l'eremita che, di prova in prova, gli avrebbe rivelato che la sessualità e il mistico sono un'unica cosa. Diventato suo discepolo, ha appreso, vicino a lei, la via dell'amore totale, in cui non vi sono dualità né vie da percorrere né scopi da raggiungere, ma soltanto un eterno lasciarsi essere, contemplando lo spirito nel suo stato naturale, disteso, risvegliato, divino. Per la prima volta un tantrika, un enfant du siècle alla ricerca della libertà di esistere, svela, nelle pagine di questo libro, i misteri di un antico sapere.

Recensioni
Through the telling of the story of his own personal journey into tantra, Daniel Odier explains the depths and profound beauties of all of the relationships and energies involved, and yet, he manages to keep it simple. This is an amazing book. It is short enough to read in one sitting, which I recomm Leggi tutto
Definitely more narrative and actual authentic, personal experience than you see in most books about Eastern mysticism, but still very full of the dense intellectualism that feels like a shield to me. Why aren't there more stories of the dirty, messy part of spiritual practice? Why is it always plat Leggi tutto
Cea mai interesanta parte a cartii este titlul. In rest -povestea /calatoria unui domn catre trezire si unire cu divinul din interior, sfarsita prin unirea cu divinul dint o divina indianca. Povestea este lipsita de coerenta si este plina de banalitati. Singurul lucru cu care am ramas, in urma lecturii Leggi tutto
I battled with this book a lot, because a lot of it really spoke to me and a lot of it I really questioned. It is the author's story of how he became a practitioner of tantra. There is a lot of tantra that I really like: its rejection of dualism and embracing of the divine in everyone and its openne Leggi tutto
This is one of my absolute favorite books on the subject of Tantra. It tells the story of the author's journey to find a guru in India, and what he learned from her. In reading his story, we learn about the spiritual system of Kashmiri Shivaic Tantra.
This book is an authentic description of the encounter of an East-Indian yogini a French Swiss had years ago. I love this book of Daniel Odier most of all his books, because it is not brought with an intellectualism, what comes up in his later written books about Tantra.
One of my highest compliments for any book is that it taught me something. This one did; specifically, that everyone, at some point in their lives, usually in early childhood, have had one or more experiences of awakening. It’s not the exception, but the rule. I have always maintained that everyone Leggi tutto
I've dabbled in meditation over the years and my wife is a meditation instructor. This was one of her required readings and I'd meant to read it for the sex parts mostly. It ended up being much more than I ever expected. The novelization of Tantra tends to cater to the lowest common denominator and
Summary Its a short book about the author's search for a tantra teacher in India. He comes across many Buddhist and hindu ashrams and has many adventures and mishaps along the way. He finally finds a female ascedic who shows him that all he read was false. Things get pretty wild and intense the whole Leggi tutto
