The Syllabus: Tripurārahasya

Three Highlights:

1. This course addresses selected verses from the text and not the text in its entirety.

2. Topics for the discourse are arranged in a gradual, progressive order. Keeping in mind the highest experience that the text brings to light, the course is designed in reverse so that Sadhakas can reach to the highest experience.

3. The course is not a substitute for the book. It rather is a key to facilitate the practitioner being able to dive deep into the heart of the mysteries of Tripura.

The course on Tripurarahasya has three sections. At the end of each section, we will spend one session hour openly discussing all the issues addressed in the section.
