The Serpent Power

In my work Sakti and Sakta I outlined for the first time the principles of "Kundali-Yoga" so much discussed in some quarter, but of which so little was known.

This work is a description and explanation in fuller detail of the Serpent Power (Kundali-Sakti), and the Yoga effected through it, a subject occupying a pre-eminent place in the Tantra-Sastra. It consists of a translation of two Sanskrit works published some years ago in the second volume of my series of Tantrik Texts, but hitherto untranslated. The first, entitled "satcakra-nirupana" ("Description of and Investigation into the Six Bodily Centres"), has as its author the celebrated Tantrik ParnAnanda-Sv5m-i, a short note on whose life is given later. It forms the sixth chapter of his extensive and unpublished work on Tantrik Ritual entitled "Sri-tattvacintamani".
