The Heart of Recogniton

The wisdom of this eloquent Tantric scripture, written in the eleventh century by Kshemaraja, is brought to life by Swami Khecaranatha’s in-depth commentary. His explanation of this powerful scripture reveals not only the philosophical meaning of the text, but the relevance of these ancient words to the reader’s life and spiritual practice. Khecaranatha explores the practices embedded in the sutras and how to apply them to one’s own sadhana.

Throughout the book, Khecaranatha reiterates his central message: That it is in our own heart that we recognize the highest truth in life, which is that we are an individuated expression of the Divine. He illuminates the Tantric understanding of how manifest life arose from Supreme Consciousness, how that Divinity gave birth to us, and the choice we each have to discover and to permanently experience that connection with our Source.
