The Tantra Experience

The Tantra Experience - Osho, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

The Tantra Experience by Osho, subtitled Discourses on the Royal Song of Saraha, offers penetrating insights into some of life's seemingly insoluble paradoxes. With Osho as a guide, the book gives readers a new perspective: a new way of looking at themselves and at life, and of living in harmony with existence.

In this book The Tantra Experience, Osho speaks about the Royal Song of Saraha. He argues that the Tantric experience can free us from what he sees as a destructive Hebraic-Christian dualism, one that in his view has crippled our bodies, minds and hearts and condemned as evil almost everything we do.

Saraha was an Indian Buddhist mystic, one of the great mahasiddhas or “perfected masters” of the Tantric tradition, who lived more than a thousand years ago. According to legend, he composed his famous song for a king who wanted to understand his teaching. Tantra itself is a spiritual path that does not reject the body, the senses or daily life, but embraces them as gateways to awareness. Osho (1931-1990), the Indian mystic formerly known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, gave many discourses on these themes, which were later published in book form.

A fascinating book for anyone interested in Osho, Tantra, Buddhist mysticism, meditation and a life lived fully and consciously.
