Description
Tattwa Shuddhi is an ancient tantric practice of inner purification. Every individual is composed of five basic elements or tattwas which can be purified and transformed through the process of tattwa shuddhi. This comprehensive text contains the theory of the tattwas and detailed instructions for the practice, including the tantric tools of yantra, mantra and mandala.
Tattwa shuddhi is an advanced practice, which may be performed as a sadhana in itself or as an adjunct to kunadlini kriyas and other higher yogas.
