John George Woodroffe (EDT), A. Avalon, Purnananda, Kalicarana The Serpent Power

Annotation

I think this is the best book on tantra written. A note to non-hindus- The author uses very heavy duty sanskrit words, and though he explains their meaning, you might forget it next time around. He explains Kundalini Yoga in great detail, found in few books. This isnt one of those crap "New Age" books, that ignore religon. Contrary to Western thinking, Tantra is about Meeting god by raising the Kundalini(Serpent Power) to the Head, and not having great sex, as most books in western world about tantra seem to think so. The great thing is the book has translations of 2 rare hindu books(which you dont have to read as Avalon explains everything), but are useful to students of Hinduism. He also gives postures of Hatha Yoga to go with these.Gopal Menon
