Review:

I have gained great personal insight from his work and have great respect and admiration for his knowledge, and for the lucid way in which he has expounded the ancient wisdom of the Vedas --Deepak Chopra, M.D.

It is an enormous relief to discover a book in English that authentically represents the Tantric tradition. Dr.Frawley's new book provides invaluable insights into the most ancient continuously practiced Goddess tradition in the world. --Linda Johnsen, author of Daughters of the Goddess: The Women saints of India

His presentation is the first time that English readers have an opportunity to learn about the Ten Mahavidyas, the central doctrine and practice of Shakta Tantricism in great detail. The uniqueness of the book lies in how the author pulls together Tantric and Ayurvedic sciences in a manner which one can practice in one's daily life. --Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Himalayan Institute
