The Buddhist parallel of this act has been described in many modern works. Snellgrove is well-known. Less known is Lama Anagarika Govinda, Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism London, 1959. The Śākta Tantric ritual will be found, among others, in the Śāktānandatarangiṇī by Brahmānanda Giri, (ed. Panchanan Shastri,Calcutta 1942-43, in Bengali character and with Bengali translation ) Ch. 4. Giri closely follows the Śāradātilakatantra. Gopinath Kaviraj, Bharatiya Sadhanar Dhara (Bengali), Sanskrit College, Calcutta,1965 96ff gives interesting details without exact reference. But Kaviraj is entirely dependable.

Dear Friends, 

I am looking for information regarding a particular Tantric practice. It involves building up a living internal image of the devī within the practitioner's own body through visualising the chakras, their petals and the corresponding bīja mantras.

I don't really have much more to go on than this. If someone can point me towards some textual references that would be great.

All the best,
