About The Book 

“Bhairava-Trataka-Deepabali Kalpadrumah ॥” — by Swami Sumananandanath (Dr. Suman Kumar Das) This extraordinary book is a living document of the confluence of Tantra, Yoga, and consciousness. It presents the profound traditions of the Kaula-margiya Uddisha-Kriyoddisha Tantra in the light of modern consciousness science.
Here, the Bhairava principle is not merely a deity to be worshipped, but a science of inner awakening. This book tells the practitioner, “Antarbhairavah Sthapyah, Bahyam Deepabalih Pujyatam” — that is, awaken the Bhairava within, and manifest that light outwardly through the offering of lamps (Deepabali).
The central theme of this book is the combined application of Trataka (meditative gaze), Deepabali (non-violent offering system), and Bhairava Sadhana (energy refinement). This is not merely worship, but an inner Tantra-Yantra-Mantra laboratory, where the flame, the gaze, and the sound awaken divine resonance within the practitioner
The chapters of the book explain Bhairava Yantra installation, Deepabali Mandala construction, Ashtanga Bhairava worship, Tarpana method, Bali Samskara, and Trataka Sadhana in a step-by-step manner. It also includes unique Tantric sciences such as “The Living Energy of the Flame,” “The Vibration Principle of Sound and Consciousness,” and the “41-Day Bhairava Sadhana Sequence.”
This book proves that Tantra is neither violence nor mysticism — it is the pure science of self-energy, where the light of the lamp, the gaze of the eyes, and the sound of Bhairava together lead the practitioner from ignorance to awakening and from fear to divinity.
“Bhairava is not outside; He is in every flame that burns within you.”
