Royal Path of Shakti

Daniel Odier, who is recognized as a leading Tantra master of the West, received a mystical initiation from the tantric yogini Lalita Devi. He also studied with Kalu Rinpoche and received dharma transmission from Chan Master Jing Hui. He founded the former Tantra/Chan center in Paris, has taught courses on Eastern spiritual traditions at the University of California, and gives workshops worldwide. His books include Tantric Quest, Tantric Kali, and Crazy Wisdom of the Yogini. He lives in Switzerland.

“The illuminating visualizations give readers a viable spiritual path to face and overcome disease, difficulties, and even death and to truly taste the amrita of the Kaulas. This wondrous book is a sacred invitation into divine embodiment of the Kaula yogini mysteries of the cosmos. A must-read and invaluable guide of never-before-revealed ancient yogini wisdom.”
