by Swami Lakshmanjoo
In the Vijnana Bhairava, Bhairavi (the Divine Mother) asks Lord Bhairava (God) to clear Her doubts about the essence of the path towards Self-realization. Compelled by Her sincerity, Bhairava explicitly reveals 112 contemplative techniques for entering into the state of God consciousness. Swami Lakshmanjoo not only translates the Sanskrit text into English but also lays bare the essential practices and tricks involved in each of the techniques.
