About the book:

The Kamaratna Tantra is a remarkable and ancient Indian text that belongs to the Tantra Shastra tradition, one of the profound branches of Indian spiritual sciences. The Tantra system, originally revealed by Lord Mahadeva (Shiva) to Goddess Maheshwari (Parvati), combines the use of mantras (sacred sounds), yantras (mystical diagrams), and aushadhis (herbal preparations) to achieve both spiritual and practical success.

Composed by the yogi Gauriputra Nityanath Ji, the Kamaratna Tantra stands out for its depth and usefulness. It explains in detail the six ritual practices known as Shatkarma—attraction, enchantment, destruction, expulsion, discord, and immobilization—while also describing methods to counter or neutralize these rites. This dual approach makes the text both powerful and balanced, allowing practitioners to use its teachings for protection as well as for achievement.

Beyond rituals, the book also discusses practical applications such as improving crop yield, increasing milk production, ensuring safe childbirth, and curing poison, making it relevant even in daily life.

The text emphasizes performing rituals under the right conditions—considering time, place, planetary positions, and auspicious moments—for effective results. In this edition, the editors have relied on earlier versions and an ancient manuscript preserved by Pandit Dinanath Dwivedi of Varanasi.

Overall, the Kamaratna Tantra is not just a mystical treatise but a guide for spiritual, mental, and material well-being. Readers are advised to use its knowledge only for righteous and beneficial purposes.
