ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
In Ecstasy Through Tantra, Dr. Jonn Mumford celebrates the joyous and mystical depths of sexual love. People are more open about sex today, and so it is now possible to talk openly about going beyond mere joy, beyond the physical and emotional aspects of sexual union, to the ecstasy of union with Divine Power that is centered in every body and throughout the universe.
In the pages of this book you will learn that you do not need to go to the top of a mountain to commune with Divinity; Its temple is the body, Its sacrament the communion between lovers, and that communion involves all the awesome powers of the universe in the microcosm of the lovers.
You will learn mental and physical exercises aimed at developing that psycho-sexual power. Once you have mastered those techniques, you will find explicit instructions for using sexual activity to achieve your goals on earth (magic) and on the spiritual planes (bliss).
Ecstasy Through Tantra is filled with magnificent original illustrations as well as ones from ancient sources. There are many exclusive photos of ancient temples and erotic sculptures in India, as well as color photographs of couples demonstrating sexual positions for the arousal of kundalini in Tantric practice.
This groundbreaking book is your guide to the world of sacred sexuality.

USER REVIEWS
"It is extremely rare that a work such as this graces the shelves of the book stores. Swami Anandakapila (Dr Jonn Mumford) was one of the first Westerners to accurately and thoroughly disseminate Tantric lineage teachings not only to the West but also to the East.
Many of the books around today contain information and techniques copied from this author's work and most of them do not acknowledge this. It's no coincidence to note that the best books arond today on Tantra DO acknowledge his contribution.
No-one in the West has acheived and taught the Indian Tantric science like he has, and probably no-one will do again.
To say we are fortunate to have works like, "Ecstacy through Tantra" and "Chakra and Kundalini workbook" is an understatement.
I believe that Dr Jonn Mumford is the most underrated author of Esoterica the West has known."

"Honestly, has anyone acheived happiness through sensations? Granted, we experience some brief enjoyment, but inevitably, disappointment arrives... Those who seek happiness through sensations are always disappointed: that is why we have the symbol of the Satyr. The Satyr is focused on sensations but he is never content... Be sincere with yourself and realize the truth of this in your life: you can never find happiness through supposed "ecstasy" - you may find a brief moment of escape from the problems, but when it is over you are left with the same problems. This is not Tantra. Real Tantra provides the complete transformation of suffering. One cannot transform suffering so long as one has desire. Desire is the root of all suffering. We suffer because we do not have what we desire. When we get what we desire, we suffer because we are afraid of losing what we desire. There is no contentment. Contentment comes when the desire has been removed; then there is nothing missing, there is peace, joy, the true ecstasy of the Consciousness. This is the freedom of the soul: to be free of all selfish desire. This can be achieved through radical work on oneself. Real happiness comes when there is no anger, no pride, no lust, no fear... This is what real Tantra teaches, and this knowledge cannot be found in this book. This book will teach you to deepen your dependence on sensation, to deepen your lust, to adopt practices whose true purpose you cannot see, and to make you more of a slave of desire... To find the true teaching, read the works of Samael Aun Weor (The Perfect Matrimony, The Mystery of the Golden Blossom), the Tibetan Buddhists, the Buddha, Krishna, Jesus... they all agree: there is no happiness so long as the ego lives in us."

"TANTRA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX, IT HAS TO DO WITH OVERALL WELLBEING PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY thru yoga. People who combine TANTRA solely for SEX are "SNAKE OIL" Salesman trying to make fast bucks. I am from INDIA and have good knowledge of YOGA and all its branches (Pranayama, Hatha Yoga......).."

"Fantastic!
This book has proven to be a continual resource of information. It is multileveled, so the beginner and serious student both benefit. Through theNsimple exercises you will learn valuable methods of making love not only to others, but to yourself, awakening mystical union and opening to alchemical transformation. Dr. Mumford has created a rare resource book, authentic through his extensive experience in initiated practices in India, filtered through a western mind to be an easy to read approach and grounded through scientific and medical knowledge. Few other resources have such extensive training. Through the mirrors of Dr. Mumford's expansive research, the vision of Tantra becomes clearer...Patricia, tantra teacher,"
