Confined to small, hidden mystery schools for centuries, and often misunderstood and misinterpreted today. Tantra is not just a collection of techniques to enhance sexual experience.

Vigyan Bhairav Tantra Revisted!
Vigyan Bhairav Tantra is much older than Osho, and definitely worth 5 stars. To be perfectly honest with you, I could care less about Osho and all the controversy that surrounds him, his life and his followers and the many misguided actions that took place in his name. What I do care about is the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra text itself. A text consisting entirely of meditation techniques written in India 5000 years ago in another language is nearly impossible for an aver...more

I usually try to avoid 'feel-good' New Age books, mainly because I know that life is not always about feeling good, and I don't want to believe in, or practise, lies and deception, especially towards my own self. Who can want to deceive their own selves?

this book is about tantra (not sex - that's kama sutra). tantra is about uniting of all of our experience (body, emotions, mind) for the pursuit of a greater purpose, such as spiritual fulfillment. the processes of tantra are highly psychological in nature, so if you like psychology, eastern yoga, esoteric metaphysics, or even just something new on the philosophical horizon, this book has it in concentration. personally, i have read this book 10+ times. this is one of my all-time favorite books....more
this is the longest book i have ever bothered owning or trying to read. for some reason, too, every time i open it, it tells me exactly what i need to hear.
This book is full of blasphemy: it is the meeting of a misunderstood person and a misunderstood philosophy. Osho is probably the most misunderstood guru and Tantra is misunderstood because on surface it looks shallow and 'impure'. First thing I felt after finishing this book is that I would have lost out on some serious knowledge, insight and inspiration if I had listened to the popular opinion about Osho ('sex guru'). It is lazy labeling. I wonder ..how many people have ACTUALLY read his work i...more

This book, more than any other that I have found, provides simple practical techniques (112 of them) for breaking through the veil of illusion and entering truth. While the techniques are simple and profound, the author has written over 1,100 pages of commentary that provide context and insight. This is a very readable book. It is the right book for me now. Interestingly, many of its techniques are ones that I had practiced on my own without knowing from whence they came or why I was practicing...more

As a Seeker you must learn a much higher code of conduct then just those taught to you as a child. This requires your willingness to integrate many points of view. What wisdom list of books would be complete without at least one more perspective about the divine? Start with your own great spiritual or religious tradition then read the Book of Secrets. Osho speaks fluently in the tradition of all great spiritual teachers - with love, kindness, tolerance and compassion. Tantra is teaching spirit f...more

A good book to reread now and then, but in small doses. Like all wisdom literature it should be taken with a proverbial grain of salt. But there is more powerful insight in this one book than in all the new age babble that lines the self-help shelves. At times contradictory or reductive (Osho's grasp of science is rudimentary), it is the imperfect work of an imperfect mind speaking truths that are difficult to hear and even harder to live. At any rate, the transformation it aims at won't come fr...more

Although I havent read many of Osho books, I have read his Autobiography [http://www.iosho.com/oBook/The%20Life...] (collection and excerpts of his lectures over the yrs about his life) and From Sex to Superconsciousness. One major difference in this book is that his goal in the book is very clear. Its not abstract in any way, its like math- clear cut and concise. He talks about the difference between Yoga and Tantra in the beginning and explains their differing philosophies in a simple, layma...more
Book of the Secrets is a deep study of Vijñāna-Bhairava Tantra, a real classic of the Vedic Tantra lineage. If you have any real interest in Tantra (other than misusing it as a justification to get laid), you pretty much have to read this book. The hardback edition is out of print. Fortunately it is available online if you look around.

I picked and chose chapters of it that appealed to me and each one was creating drastic shifts in my perceptions and experiences but somehow the book failed to hold my interest for longer than 1 week. Perhaps I need a little more time to rest where I am before I am again drawn to return to it to continue my transformation.

This book is like a bible of meaningful thoughts and I turn to it whenever I need support.Anyone who is in search of truth can find something here.I use it as therapy,really helps and provides true wisdom and comfort.
Cannot finish at a stretch, all meditative experiments! 112 experiments of shiva+Buddha!
This is the best self help book or whatever u call it . This is osho at his best . It's a must for everyone . Many concepts are around us and common it's just that we r so busy that we don't even realise these simple things which can change us for the good . Go for it
This book had more of an effect on the course of my life than any other book I've ever read.
be careful
if you read to much of this or any osho- you might end up looney.
however, there's some good tidbits of wisdom here and there.

My fav quotes (not a review):
• Life is like a river. There is no precharted way; there are no maps to be given to you which are to be followed. Just be alive and alert, and then wheresoever life leads you go with full confidence in it. Tantra is a trust — a trust in the life force. Allow it to lead you, don’t force it. Surrender to it and allow it to lead you towards the sea. Just be alert, that is all. While life leads you towards the sea just be alert so that you don't miss anything.

Colossal collection of talks and lectures by Osho/Rajneesh during the 70s arranged around the topic of the Vijnana Bhairava tantra. The talks deal with practical points given in the tantra text, which are then expounded on (verbosely) by Osho. There's some interesting information presented, and Osho certainly has a good knowledge of teachings, teachers and approaches. However, in summary, there's probably too much information presented here and in the talks to be of any use for students. Further...more

Up to page 200 or so now. A simply brilliant, clear, and practical close-reading of the Tantra Sutras (only 6 of which have anything to do with sex), plus long aleatory lessons from Osho. Both good for your soul and handy for your new project on Irigaray. Seriouly one of the best 'esoteric' books I have ever, ever read.

This truly an amazing book. Detailed explanation on meditation techniques. It is from this book I understood that based on the individual different meditation has to be followed. I was able to find mine. Still doing it :) Thank You Osho

The Book of Secrets: now this is a freaking catchy title, isn't it? What secrets are we talking about here and why 112 meditations? I thought meditation was just sitting and watching your breath. There can't be 112 ways of doing that. It sounds like those easy books like 50 Ways to Make Someone Fall in Love With You and 150 Ways to Become Rich, and shit like that. And what the hell is this page count? Over one thousand pages! You must be mad or have nothing better to do to waste your time readin...more

When I was a little girl I was traumatize by the film In Cold Blood. You see when it first was aired on network television WMT (now KGAN) chose to show it after 10:30 P.M. My brother Steve and I snuck into the living room to watch it and of course came into the movie as the farm family was being slaughtered. It took a boyfriend forcing me to watch the movie in 1991, to realize that it wasn’t the movie that scared me as much as it was the stuff I let be associated with that film. I had convinced...more
This is about as spiritual as I get. A five star book for me is something that at any point throughout life if I saw the book i would love to pick it up and read it at any point of the book. The 121 meditations are wide ranging from the “woah I should try that” to the “that seems so obvious wish I had thought of that”. It's pretty verbose, but I like Ohso's writing and guidance.

It will take you a lifetime to finish this book, but its worth it. That is, if you have the interest in the subject matter to begin with. It is a heavy read, difficult to digest in places mainly because it is brimming with wisdom of the ages. I've owned it for a decade, at least, and still refer back to it when in-between books and in need of illumination. Have yet to finish it all, wonder if I ever will.
Jul 03, 2014John rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
An immense work. Of course, like all Osho's books, it's just him speaking extemporaneously, but that doesn't diminish the impact. I really feel like I gained a lot of insight into tantra methodology through reading about and working with a few of these techniques. They're so simple but they can really change you. Rajneesh says in the first part of the book that he's worked deeply with all 112 techniques and you get the feeling he did. Priceless.

Rajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
