A Brief Essential Guide to Highest Yoga Tantra Sadhanas
A Brief Essential Guide To Highest Yoga Tantra Sadhanas
There are many Highest Yoga Tantra practices, so we've created a complete list for you to easily navigate them.
- The key shows whether a particular sadhana is used for either just Heruka, just Vajrayogini, or both Heruka and Vajrayogini practice.
- Next to each title is a brief description of the sadhana.
- In addition, where a particular sadhana is printed in a book, the title of that book where the sadhana appears is also listed.
- Finally, where a sadhana appears only within a book and is not printed separately, the note "No separate sadhana" appears next to the title.
