โข Revised and expanded edition of the classic work on chakras by the renowned Indian scholar and tantra practitioner. โข Includes full-color illustrations of the chakras to be used with the meditation exercises in the book and provides the tools necessary to activate these centers of transformative energy. In the ancient science of tantra, the human body is viewed as the most perfect instrument for the expression of consciousness, a perfection realized through the development of psychic centers known as chakras. Located within the cerebrospinal system, the chakras are the stage upon which the interaction between higher consciousness and desire is played out. Consequently, it is through understanding and utilizing the energies of the chakras that we ultimately reach an enlightened state of being. In Chakras, Indian scholar and tantra practitioner Harish Johari introduces the classical principles of the chakras as well as their practical application for today. In this expanded edition, complete with new art and text, he unfolds the mysteries of these subtle centers of transformation with visualization techniques essential to a fully realized tantric practice. Unlike other books in its field, Chakras provides the tools to activate these centers of transformative energy and elevate one's intellectual knowledge to an experience of spiritual growth. Meditating on the beautiful, full-color illustrations of each chakra vitalizes the cerebrospinal centers and harmonizes the entire system both physically and psychically. Explanations of each chakra elaborate on the chakra's connection to elements, colors, sounds, sense and work organs, desires, planets and deities, as well as on behavioral characteristics and particular effects of meditation. For scholars and spiritual aspirants of every level, Chakras is an invaluable, practical source of information and techniques.

Brilliant explanations from a Brilliant Teacher!
Sriman Harish Johari is an excellent teacher and author, who can explain in-depth and sometimes quite esoteric knowledge in an easy-to-understand and fun way. His books are always excellent and this is no exception. Having a long time interest in authentic Ayurveda and Tantra, I can definitely commend the explanations, diagrams and techniques here as being genuine, authentic and practical.I read and pratcised from the first edition many moons ago whilst my love for Ayurveda and Vedic spirituality through the Hare Krsna movement was blossoming, and I can tell you, you feel like you are taken from being a novice to expert after going through and putting into practise what is taught here, though practical, professional guidance is always recommended, you will definitely learn a lot from this book; the theory, amazing health benefits and the pratcical applications.Starting with guiding principles, Harish Johari goes further to explain the benefits of Tantric meditation, to whom, and with contraindications (when certain mental health problems would not benefit). The book is well illustrated and has sections on each chakra, with the characteristics, mantra, colours, what it affects and how to overcome the debilitating effects of weakened chakras. There is also an accompanying CD which is purchased seperately but is well worth the money that contains music and sounds for each chakra to help heal and open them up.In summary, this is a beautifully presented, well-written and crystal-clear explanation which makes this wonderful science and art truly accessible to the layman and also has great wisdom and facts for the practitioner!

The "Real Deal" on traditional Indian chakra information and practice
As a kirtan singer/chanter, (kirtan is also known as Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion) I became very interested in traditional Indian teachings of the chakras because I knew they are associated with sounds; a beeja mantra or "seed sound" for each chakra, as well as each chakra petal having a one-syllable sound. A full and complete chanting practice of the chakras includes more than 50 sounds!This book not only informs one about the sounds for each chakra, the mantra, but also the yantra, the geometric symbol and color as well as the number and color of the petals, and gives in-depth explanations of the meanings of the symbols, along with descriptions of the elements, the ruling planets, the sense organs, the deities as well as other Natural and Symbolic information associated with each chakra.Techniques and effects for meditation practice are also included for each, as well as typical behavioral characteristics exhibited by people at each level of practice.For anyone interested in learning the raising of shakti (spiritual energy) through traditional Indian chakra practices, this is an excellent book.Jai Ganesh!Michelle (Shellie) WoodAuthor of Pilgrimage to India: An American Woman's AdventureCurator at Kirtan Community Blog of kirtan playlists.

Definitive text
This IS as one reviewer said the real deal. While others note its depth, and challenge to understand, that is because it is the real deal. I have been reading, re-reading this book for years, and am taking time to review because my worn copy needs replacement. It takes time to understand these concepts even with good teacher. This is the definitive introductory text to the true mysticism and yoga science of the chakras. No Esalen, new age stuff here. Pure tantra including allusions to the text of orgin for these concepts. Note I said introductory, and yet itโs still so deep. That is the depth of the chakras. For those of you who take the time to understand these teachings, this book will serve as a reference for years to come. It is an essential text for all serious yogis and a great gift. With love and gratitude to Harish Johari, Mark Shanti Dev
