Tantra 2.0: Modern Interpretations of an Ancient Yoga

About the Book: I present Tantra 2.0 as a simple guide to the practice of Tantra Yoga. I have stayed away from divinity and spirituality as much as possible because of their vagueness. I have also stayed away from symbolism as it is irrelevant in our technological times. For example what symbolic meaning does the lotus plant convey to you? It conveys nothing to me! Similarly if the symbolic artifacts of Yantras and Mandalas are not already pre-existing in your socio-cultural context then they are of no use in the comprehension and practice of Tantra. Finally I have avoided references to esoteric interpretations highlighted the garbage that Google spews out and pointed out the fatalistic and dehumanizing nature of religions. About the Author: My career journeyed from research in Molecular Biology to Journalism and finally ended up in Instructional Design and Learning Consultancy. However my interest in the Science of Consciousness persisted. Over 25 years of writing (as a Journalist and as a Learning Consultant) puts me in a unique position to write about Tantra from a scientific perspective. I started practicing Yoga almost 30 years ago and learned how Yogic postures help us communicate with our body. Then I practiced Tantra Yoga and learned that Yoga is not simply about postures that stretch and contort the muscles but also about exercising the mind and consciousness. At that time I was the Editor of a mens magazine which gave me ample scope to explore tantric sex besides studying its Philosophy. Few years ago after I met a Tantrik Guru I was motivated to write this book.
