A small Compodium of tantra ----prologue------

[Guest guest]

Prologue

 

Tantra is perceived into three major groups satvic, tamas and rajas. I will

not venture too much into the satvic since it is identical to Vedanta hence

those who do it should rather stick to Vedanta.

Tamas is what I do so basically in that field I have some exp however rajas

is something I choose not to go into since only the most competent sadhakas

do it and rajas in it's true level has no rituals what soever all the animal

bali is done on the inside the cleansing as it is called.

 

These three schools also have three premises the divya the vira and the

pashu they are the hierarchical stages a sadhaka will go through and they

are three paths, which one can choose. Most Tantras see the divine in a

particular form, and praise that form to be the greatest. Don't be stupid

and think at as being the entire truth, the formless is the highest but

since man with logic and a low level consciousness cannot perceive this

hence man then meditates on a form.

 

There are gods and goddesses (ethereal beings) and they are as real as you

or me, however the theory of good and evil as we perceive it is wrong, evil

is to be respected as well it is just as much a form of God as Ganesha or

Shiva. They are there to make the world go in a circle like formation (the

chakra, the karma chakra). The evil pushes down to what is known as

destruction whereas the Good pushes up as creation.

 

Hence we mostly worship the devas or suras to be accurate cause they benefit

us. You should understand that this whole process of calling an external

being is phase on later on you will realise that you to have the essence of

that particular deity and then you will invoke that destroying yourself or

your identity and letting this essence take over (sharana).

 

Tantra is based on the Kundalini the serpent power, it is what we all call

Devi but the accurate definition is Shakti. I am not going to mention

Kundalini as much so if you are interested in pursuing Tantra you better do

your research on your own.

 

-------- From here on in you better be familiar with these terms: Kundalini,

Bhuta Shuddhi, Pranayama, Kriya Yoga and prana, apana, jatha Agni and bhuta

agni------

---------------

 

These postings are here to destroy any misconceptions of Tantra in people;

it is not some magical or mystical thing everything is scientific and if you

do not understand this then there is no point doing millions of japa of

mantras cause that will not help much.

I am not authority in Tantra nor do I claim to be one, but this knowledge

has been compiled to help everyone. I would much rather suggest a Hindu to

practise Vedanta then Tantra. I have my reasons of choosing this path but

the ramifications and repercussions of making a mistake in Tantra will bite

you harder then it does in Vedanta. I chose not do Vedanta since a lot of

the knowledge of this path has been lost, however even then mantras like the

Durga Sukta still are extremely powerful.

Thank you KP for that excellant summary. This would be a great boon

to all, coming from a knowledgeable tantrik like yourself.

I eagerly await the remaining portions.
