Dvadashanta

This booklet contains the description of the technique called “Dvādaśānta”, as well as some elements of the “subtle anatomy” (the metaphysical concepts of Yoga and Tantra) having direct relation to it. Such elements as tat­tvas, cakras, ādhāras, lakṣyas and others are involved in various forms of practice associated with Dvādaśānta as well. Knowledge of them and their interrelation is necessary in order to have an adequate notion of proper practice as well as for the usage of this knowledge as the potential goal in attainment of personal experience. Although it is required to receive all the practical nuances as transmission from an experienced master in person, the material represented in this booklet may serve as the basis for further study of Dvādaśānta practice.
