A couple of years ago, I uploaded an earlier version of this book. The earlier version was his Thesis. Now he's polished it up and gotten it published.

A review states:
'This remarkable book is the second volume of the Routledge Studies in Trantric Traditions, edited by Gavin Flood. Beautifully produced by the author.....Due to the highly technical nature of the material, this winning combination of authorial attention to detail with a highly elevated sense of aesthetics, results in not merely a book but a work of art.

A Stellar work of exemplary scholarship, this book should be purchased by individuals with an interest in Yoga and Tantra, and all university libraries.' - Christopher Key Chapple, Loyola Marymount University, Journal of Hindu Studies 2008

A commenter states.
This book is interesting to anyone even contemplating kechari mudra, a hatha yoga practice that amounts to inserting the tongue up behind the soft palate. It is a translation of a hathayoga scripture with associated notes which are very interesting field notes from his travels to India, and other explications, by the author on the practice of Khechari mudra. This scripture is a very significant text on this very important hathayogic tantric practice. Highly recommended.
