“The Vedic seers and mantras deal in esoteric terms, and I also am pleased by such confidential descriptions.”
[Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.21.35]
The Esoteric Teaching Introductory Seminar: The Secret History of Yoga and Tantra was written by David Bruce Hughes and presented in Honolulu, Hawaii in 2002. The Esoteric Teaching is the secret system of meta-knowledge behind all authentic spiritual paths such as Yoga, Tantra, Qigong, meditation, magic and conventional religion.
The EsotericTeaching is
the most ancient original source material on Yoga and Meditation in the
world. For many years, the actual history and
methods of Yoga, Meditation and Tantra have been hidden behind a smokescreen
of disinformation and deception deliberately created to confuse and defeat
anyone who tried to research these esoteric subjects. As a result, Yoga
teachings and practices in the West, and even in India, have become completely
distorted from the original.
This historic workshop
series marks the first time the ultra-high-level spiritual meta-knowledge of
the Esoteric Teaching has ever been presented in public. The long-awaited
revelation of this highly confidential, potent transcendental wisdom
is an unprecedented event intended to initiate a quantum leap in the
spiritual progress of Humanity.
