    About this ebook

    Becoming the hero of your own life is an endeavor filled with uncertainty and danger. As with the heroes of the epics, the journey forces you to face your deepest fears. This book explores the question at the heart of an authentic spiritual discipline. Drawing on the Bhagavad Gita and ancient cremation ground practices, Swami Chetanananda, a tantric master in the Shakta-Shaiva tradition, shows how the fire of transformation really works. His approach promises the possibility of profound freedom and a life lived in the spirit of creativity, integration, and happiness.
