About the Author
Daniel Odier is a teacher of Tantra who received a mystical initiation from the tantric yogini, Lalita Devi. He was also a student of Kalu Rinpoche and received dharma transmission from a Chinese Chan Master. He founded the Tantra/Chan center in Paris and has taught courses on Eastern spiritual traditions at the University of California and on screen writing at the University of Tulsa. He is the author of Tantric Quest: An Encounter with Absolute Love and many other books, including Diva (under the nom de plume Delacorta), which was made into a popular movie of the same name. He lives in Switzerland.
“Tantric Kali provides depth as we are guided through mythology,
ritual, visualization, and life teachings to have a direct
experience of Shakti from the wisdom teachings of the Kaula path.
Daniel offers another treasure from the heart of his
realization—steeped in his lineage with translations of the oldest
ritual to Kali--songs and hymns and truly transformative practices
and meditations direct from the root. A full-spectrum offering,
this is the birth of another Odier classic. Daniel is one of the
extraordinary and skillful practitioner teacher-scholar-writers of
our time. Tantric Kali is juicy, liberating, radical, and exquisite
and offers a unique compendium of tantric Kali sadhana accessible
to all.”
