    About this ebook

    This booklet contains 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.

    Introduction

    First of all, I would like to pay obeisance to all my teachers who inspired me and shared their knowledge for the writing of this book. These are such Gurus as Śri Rameścandra Śarmā, Śri Mithileśnāth Mahārāj, Śri Śyāmakant Dwivedi and many others who assisted me in my search and sādhana. The small booklet you are holding elucidates the interrelation of such unusual system as subtle body and a special practice known as Dvādaśānta. However, its practices have a connection not only with the subtle centers of the body, but also with cakras, ādhāras, 36 tattvas, etc. For some Hindu yogi-sādhakas it was more convenient to consider each of these elements to be self-sufficient, while others used to believe they were interrelated. For example, there is a version of the 16 ādhāras system, it is believed to be originated from cakra system, but some sources described these two as independent ones. Obviously, it is impossible to disclose all correlations and details in this small brochure. Nevertheless, this work could become the initial point for someone, as the stimulus in the study of certain internal methods of Tantric Yoga. In particular, this booklet
