This treatise is a commentary by a modern Master on the root text of Laya Yoga, “The Liberating Nectar of Precious Instructions” (“Laya Amrita Upadesha Chintamani”), which introduces us to the wonderful world of the little-known, refined tradition of the Mahasiddha-Avadhuta yogis. The first volume describes the view and methods of three of the five branches (yantras): the Yoga of contemplation, the Yoga of Light and the Yoga of Sound. The text is a practical exposition of the mystical tradition through transmission in an unbroken chain of succession.
