Emerging from elements of yoga and wisdom traditions, shamanism, alchemy, eroticism, and folklore, Tantrism began to affect brahmanical Hinduism in the ninth century. Nevertheless, Tantrism and its key historical figures have been ignored by scholars.

Other philosophies offer a theoretical explanation of the ultimate nature of reality which brings peace of mind, but these volumes provide a basis for the actual absorption of the essence of reality. The ultimate aim of this 3 volume treatise, as of all trantric knowledge, is to suggest means of emancipation of the soul from the bondage of the senses.
