The Vigyana Bhairava Tantra is believed to have been written about one thousand years ago in Kashmir, in the Himalayan region of present-day north-western India and northern Pakistan. The original text gives 112 unique and profound practices called dharanas (lit., 'focusing of attention in the present moment').
In this double CD set, Swami Nishchalananda presents 7 of these dharanas together with guided practices. These were recorded live during one of the Ashram's Vigyana Bhairava Tantra courses. The practices are especially suited to those Yoga practitioners who have some previous experience in meditation. However, they may also be useful for those who are relatively new to such practices.
We feel that the teachings and practices of the Vigyana Bhairava Tantra, although ancient, are very valid for this present era of fast-paced modem living. For this reason, every year we conduct residential seminars on the subject both here in Mandala Yoga Ashram and in different parts of Europe.
