TAMISRA IBD

Sinopsis

Tamisra: The Hell of Eternal Darkness by Sushil Kumar Sharma is a profound exploration of one of the most enigmatic realms described in Indian Tantra and mythology. Tamisra, often depicted as the abyss of eternal darkness, is not merely a mythological place but a symbolic representation of the shadow within, the unresolved fears, attachments, and desires that obscure the soul?s light. This book bridges ancient wisdom and modern understanding, inviting readers to journey into the depths of consciousness with both curiosity and reverence.Drawing extensively from classical Sanskrit texts such as the Garuda Purana, Vishnu Purana, Devi Bhagavatam, and Kularnava Tantra, the author presents Tamisra as a multidimensional realm where cosmic law, karmic consequence, and ethical accountability converge. Through vivid descriptions and careful interpretation, the text illuminates how each Naraka, or hell, reflects not only the consequences of moral action but also the inner psychological states of the individual. The abyss of Tamisra, with its shadows, serpents, and purifying fires, serves as a mirror for the mind?s own darkness, offering an opportunity for self-reflection and transformation.The book integrates a scientific and philosophical perspective, examining parallels between Tamisra and modern understandings of consciousness, neuroscience, and psychology. It explores how the experience of darkness, both literal and metaphorical, can be a catalyst for growth, ethical clarity, and spiritual awakening. By connecting the ancient Tantric worldview with Jungian concepts of the shadow, cognitive science, and comparative mythology, Sharma provides readers with a holistic framework to understand suffering, fear, and moral consequence in both personal and cosmic terms.In addition to textual analysis, the book offers practical insights through discussion of meditation, mantra practice, and contemplative exercises, illustrating how the symbolic dimensions of Tamisra can guide spiritual development. It examines the chakra system, detailing how imbalance and unresolved desires manifest as internal shadows that mirror the horrors described in mythological Naraka.

It is intended for spiritual seekers, students of mythology, and anyone interested in understanding the intricate interplay between ethics, consciousness, and transformation. Through its pages, readers are guided to see that darkness, whether cosmic or psychological, is not a place of despair but a crucible for insight, courage, and illumination.
