He authored twelve books on Eastern spirituality, including Ayurvedic Massage; Ayurvedic Healing Cuisine; Breath, Mind, and Consciousness; The Birth of the Ganga; Dhanwantari; and Tools for Tantra. He also produced several audiocassettes of mantra meditations, including Sounds of Tantra, Attunements for Day and Night, and Sounds of the Chakras.

Reviews

"A beautifully crafted book. Johari skillfully takes us into the machinery of Hindu metaphysics, a nerve system vehicle that navigates the invisible frontiers of consciousness...compressed with detail."
*Hinduism Today*

"For Harish Johari--artist, composer, teacher, tantric devotee--desire is the brush and the five senses are the palette."
*Yoga Journal*

"Johari shows us the mysteries of these subtle centers of transformation with visualization techniques essential to a fully realized tantric practice."
*Share Guide, March/April 2001*

"Unlike other books in its field, Chakras provides the tools to activate . . . and elevate one's intellectual knowledge to an experience of spiritual growth. Nowhere else will the Western reader find so much valuable information on this ancient tradition in one place."
*Branches of Light, Spring into Summer 2001*

"Among the best of Western explications, combining traditional, visionary, and practical views...illustrated, detailed, and accessible to the neophyte."
