Dowman 84 Mahasiddhas with Illustrations ( PDF download)

This book is on the 84 Mahamiddhas by Keith Dowman and illustrated by Robert Beer. This is a classic book because it is a sample of the mahasiddhas who lived in India and reached enlightenment. Some were farmers, some bakers, some thieves, hunters, madmen, and kings. These stories formed the basis of reaching realization using the methods of tantra. 

“There is no better illustration of the nature of Tantric Buddhism than the lives of the masters who founded it. These beautifully illustrated stories of the extraordinary men and women attained enlightenment and magical powers by disregarding convention.”
