Originally, the books of this series were published in 5 volumes of 16 discourses each, called the The Book of the Secrets, Volume 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5.
Later they were published as Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, First Series and Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, Second Series (40 discourses each). Both volumes are also available as a boxed set, Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, which includes Vigyan Bhairav Tantra 112-Card Deck to represent the 112 meditations.
