"This book contains the Tantratattva of Shriyukta Shiva Chandra Vidyarnava Bhattacharyya Mahodaya. The work here translated is that on an Indian mind unaffected by western thought. Apart from its intrinsic merits, it has such value as being the record of the views of an English educated Hindu, who finds in the conclusions of recent western science a corroboration of his ancient eastern beliefs. Its author modestly says: "I have attempted to give the reader the result of a general survey of the philosophy upon which Tantrik Sadhana, or self-culture, is based. But in so recondite and unfamiliar a subject, when the correctness of every individual interpretation may be called in question, the reader is requested to go himself to the source, and there, with faith and devotion, and under the guidance of a Guru, drink of its waters." This book is also known as "The Tantra-Tattva of Sriyukta Siva Chandra Vidyarnava Bhattacarya Mahodaya." It is the major source in English on the theory and practice of right-handed Tantra. Written in the 19 century by an Orthodox Hindu who himself practiced the disciplines of Tantra Shastra. The book is a treatise on various aspects of the philosophy and practice of Tantra. It includes chapters on Tantric scriptures, ritualistic worship, the Guru, and Shakti." (jacket).

The eternal Dharma. 13. Installation of the Devata. 14. Consecration and Avadhutas. Index. The Tantra is a system of knowledge that will be of much assistance in realizing the ideal of life. It stands for a code of Sadhana for attaining the knowledge of the self, the twenty-four Tattvas, ten senses of perception and action, five Pranas, mind, Buddhi, cit and Ahankara. Besides the Tantras discuss among other Sadhanas, the methods of initiation, sitting postures, paths of Yoga, worship of deity, mediator and Siddhis. Tantras discuss the centre of energy known as Chakras in the body of human beings. They are concerned with the Para Vidya, a knowledge of the ultimate reality, responsible for the creation, maintenance and destruction of the world. The Tantric religion is as old as any other form of religion. It must have undergone a tremendous change while passing through the stages. In fact the ritual side of the Vedas and the practical Kriyas of the Mahayanists for the attainment of spiritual upliftment constitute the present Tantras. The Tantras are considered by their adherents as Sastra supreme for the current age of Kali, when mankind is living under a heavy load of Adharma, untruth and unrighteousness. Its not practicable in this age to practice all the rituals and austerities enjoined in the Vedic system. Neither the individual capacity of man nor the condition of the collective environment of modern societies is favourable to their practice. For the people of this age the Tantra Shastra provides the most practicable and sure guide for the achievement of the goal of life. These preach not only for liberation from the hold of ignorance. Mukti, the basic usages for self-existence, self-affirmation and the delight of fulfillment of worldly enjoyment-Bhakti. The Tantras have certain special features which give it a wider appeal than the systems of the Veda. Firstly Tantrism is catholic and open to all irrespective of their class or sex. No one is excluded from the shelter of Tantras because of his birth. Even a Chandala has a right to be initiated. This Tantra is to all other Agama as Siva is there to all other Gods. The Mahanirvana Tantra, as now available consists of over 2500 verses in fourteen chapters. It is in the form of replies given by the lord Siva to the Devi Parvathi, On Mount Kailash, in answer to her urgent queries regarding the most appropriate Sastra for men in the Kaliyuga. (jacket).
