Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Sexual energy, is lust mixed with the physical nature of orgasm both are ASURI in nature; when tantras speak of sexual union it is when the Kundalini reached the anahata since it covers the whole anahata like a vagina to a penis hence this is known as sexual in nature. I wouldn't analyse Devi in the form; it is perverted since (I presume) you would claim her to be your mother; would you think like this about your mother? Devi deserves and commands higher respect then even your maternal mother since her wrath and love are both extreme, if you choose to see her as wife then and even then such things are not to be talked about as you would keep even this nature of your wife to your self. The is the general rule of Hinduism; it is hypocritical to call her mother and then delve into things like yoni tantra. It is highly offensive; so much so this can be classified as partial Devi ninda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 dear dakinik monk, there is a considerable misunderstanding about the panchatattwas nd that is why there is so much debasement of Tntra... Owing, however, to abuses, particularly as regards the tattva of madya and maithuna, this Tantra, according to the current version, prescribes in certain cases, limitations as regards their use. It prescribes that when the Kaliyuga is in full strength, and in the case of householders (grihastha) whose minds are engrossed with worldly affairs, the "three sweets" (madhuratraya) are to be substituted for wine. Those who are of virtuous temperament, and whose minds are turned towards the Brahman, are permitted to take five cups of wine. So also as regards maithuna, this Tantra states that men in this Kali age are by their nature weak and disturbed by lust, and by reason of this do not recognize woman (shakti) to be the image of the Deity. It accordingly ordains that when the Kaliyuga is in full sway, the fifth tattva shall only be accomplished with sviyashakti, or the worshipper's own wife, and that union with a woman who is not married to the sadhaka in either Brahma or Shaiva form is forbidden. In the case of other shakti (parakiya and sadharani) it prescribes, in lieu of maithuna, meditation by the worshipper upon the lotus feet of the Devi, together with japa of his ishtamantra. This rule, however, the Commentator says, is not of universal application. Shiva has, in this Tantra, prohibited sadhana with the last tattva, with parakiya, and sadharani shakti, in the case of men of ordinary weak intellect ruled by lust; but for those who have by sadhana conquered their passions and attained the state of a true vira, or siddha, there is no prohibition as to the mode of latasadhana. This Tantra appears to be, in fact, a protest against the misuse of the tattwa, which had followed upon a relaxation of the original rules and conditions governing them. Without the panchatattva in one form or another, the shaktipuja cannot be performed. The Mother of the Universe must be worshipped with these elements. By their use the universe (jagatbrahmanda) itself is used as the article of worship. Wine signifies the power (shakti) which produces all fiery elements; meat and fish all terrestrial and aquatic animals; mudra all vegetable life; and maithuna the will (ichchha) action (kriya) and knowledge (jnana) shakti of the Supreme Prakriti productive of that great pleasure which accompanies the process of creation. To the Mother is thus offered the restless life of Her universe. The object of all sadhana is the stimulation of the sattvaguna. When by such sadhana this guna largely preponderates, the sattvika sadhana suitable for men of a high type of divyabhava is adopted. In this latter sadhana the names of the panchatattva are used symbolically for operations of a purely mental and spiritual character. Thus, the Kaivalya says that "wine" is that intoxicating knowledge acquired by yoga of the Parabrahman, which renders the worshipper senseless as regards the external world. Meat (mangsa) is not any fleshly thing, but the act whereby the sadhaka consigns all his acts to Me (Mam). Matsya (fish) is that sattvika knowledge by which through the sense of "mineness" the worshipper sympathizes with the pleasure and pain of all beings. Mudra is the act of relinquishing all association with evil which results in bondage, and maithuna is the union of the Shakti Kundalini with Shiva in the body of the worshipper. This, the Yogini Tantra says, is the best of all unions for those who have already con-trolled their passions (yati). According to the Agamasara, wine is the somadhara, or lunar ambrosia, which drops from the brahmarandhra; Mangsa (meat) is the tongue (ma), of which its part (angsha) is speech. The sadhaka, in "eating" it, controls his speech. Matsya (fish) are those two which are constantly moving in the two rivers Ida and Pingala. He who controls his breath by pranayama (q.v.), "eats" them by kumbhaka. Mudra is the awakening of knowledge in the pericarp of the great sahasrara Lotus, where the Atma, like mercury, resplendent as ten million suns, and deliciously cool as ten million moons, is united with the Devi Kundalini. The esoteric meaning of maithuna is thus stated by the Agama: The ruddy- hued letter Ra is in the Kunda, and the letter Ma, in the shape of vindu, is in the mahayoni. When Makara (m), seated on the Hangsa in the form of Akara (a), unites with rakara ®, then the Brahmajnana, which is the source of supreme Bliss, is gained by the sadhaka, who is then called atmarama, for his enjoyment is in the Atma. in the sahasrara. This is the union on the purely sattvika plane, which corresponds on the rajasika plane to the union of Shiva and Shakti in the persons of their worshippers. The union of Shiva and Shakti is described as a true yoga, from which, as the Yamala says, arises that joy which is known as the Supreme Bliss. courtesy globust publishing ps - by belief you see the 'deity' in your wife and not that you see the divine mother as your 'sexual' partner. also, it is said no shakti puja is complete without the pancatattwas in one form or the other!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 hi all this topic has always increased the energy of the masses since a long time and this is when eeven "tantrics" take up arms against the "asuri", base"and "crude" form of tantra,but it is forgotten that it is this that differentiates tantra from others paths and it was the original tantra and all the pratinidhi forms or substitutions came later. it is one thing to use substitutes for the panca tattva and another to treat the pancatattvas as symbols for something "spiritual" to to say that sex represents the union of kundalini with siva in the sahasrara or in the anahata and or dahara or whatever. so if everything just signifies something else-n then why tantra? not that the rest of hinduism was not overtly sexual to begin with what about the satapata brahmana which says "the joyous embrace of the man and woman is the agnihotra sacrifice". the distinguihing feature of tantra is its insistance on the divinity of "everything" and its non dual nature if everything is divine and one then any method can be used to remove the veils that prevent one from seeing/experienceing it.it is this perspectivce which differentiates tantra from the other religious practices. hence the oft quoted "yaireva pathanam sthirevva siddih"(that whcih leads to ones downfall can also lead to achievement/attainment ). since nature=prakriti=shakti and because everything is shakti sex is also divine,one of the most divine aspect in the universe and it is only perversity induced by a fake moralizing religiosity. if one denies sex one is simultaneously denying the creative principle and hence shakti as mother too. and what is wrong with "material/impure/mere sex/lust" isnt that a major form of energy probably the only form for a lot of us common folkand if it can be sacrlaised with awareness and a ritual frame work and can be used to reach the divine what is wrong with it. so starting with the premise that all of "us" are caught up in lust and the material plane of existence( by the way there is no other plane of existence unless you have realized the"one".)is it ok for me tobe eating drinking and having sex and pretending to have a spiritual life but not right for me to see the divine in everything.it it the very fact that its not easy for us to ssee the divine in these "five" which makes it an excellent path because it breaks dow the thousands of years of conditioning and bring one face to face with onself "naked and hece face to face with the divine"mother". or father .or oneself. or the universe. or god. do you have a problem with that ?

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Dear Adi, and all, What you are referring to is not tattwa but something called pancha makara; this is the extreme asuri/aghora tantra; you see according to asuri tantra you can have intercourse with your own mother; hence asuri sadhakas call on the sexual forms of Devi. Those who justify this justify Asuri sadhana and I am against the extremist concept. I am not saying I am some kind of puritanical no, but still this is dire perversion for me, the only time you can associate sex with Tantra is when lust is fully under your control; even then I think it be best one does not dabble into things like this. What a husband and wife do is their business, I am totally against pre marital intercourse hence again I am in total agreement with you. When you meditate and associate divinity in any way whatsoever with sex you basically choose to see divinity in the form of procreation, thus desire. The instinct of procreation is animalistic just is hunger and sleep; that is how goddess will then interact with you like you are animal the pashu. If you are of this psychology then you don't deserve to listen or talk about most forms of Tantra and this is on such; again there are those texts that are designed to mislead, if you read a Kalika Tantra it will say have intercourse with your Shakti on a cremation ground, the dhyanas a closely linked with sex as well. This is to distract the sadhak, so if you don't have control over your mind then you will get distracted; This is one way lord Shiva made sure that those who are susceptible to desire will never excel. There is a lot of esoteric meaning behind this. I am not saying procreation is Bad; I am saying a true and smart sadhak will always be a fanatical satvic in mind hence disassociate with sex and lust. This is not applicable to your household man, he too much be far from lust but still he must procreate. Yes now onto the panchamakara, the panchamakara is a ritual which involves the five m's meat, fish, alcohol, sex, faeces these are the five m's if you must treat all five without a bias perspective, so if you are ready to have sex or eat meat then you should be ready to eat faeces. Meat here also includes human flesh and all other meats. You must be free from disgust, lust and stuff like that before you start onto this.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 respected jaimaa1008! jAIMAA! i really read and reread your post several times! may i say that every word that you have uttered here is coming straight from the devi's divine 'vak' shakti! You state "not that the rest of hinduism was not overtly sexual to begin with what about the satapata brahmana which says "the joyous embrace of the man and woman is the agnihotra sacrifice". this is true our own yoga-child has also pointed out that in shaiva siddhanta there are many such references! you state hence the oft quoted "yaireva pathanam sthirevva siddih"(that whcih leads to > ones downfall can also lead to achievement/attainment This is so true! it is said .,,, ".Having drunk, drink and drink again; having fallen, rise again and attain liberation." this does not mean "druunkenness" leads to liberation - that is the literal explanation the esoteric meaning is by drinking " the drops of wisdom athe tantrik adept experiences the awakening of the Kundalini. " You literally won my heart with the following words... " and what is wrong with "material/impure/mere sex/lust" isnt that a major form of energy probably the only form for a lot of us common folkand if it can be sacrlaised with awareness and a ritual frame work and can be used to reach the divine what is wrong with it." exactly! thAT IS WHY THE KULANARVA TANTRA SAYS... "If a man is a YOGIN, he does not enjoy sensual pleasures; while one who enjoys them cannot know YOGA. That is why the KAULA (a TANTRIC School) way, containing the essence of sexual enjoyment and YOGA, is superior to all paths. In the KAULA approach, sexual enjoyment turns into YOGA directly. What in conventional religion is considered sin, [when practiced our way] becomes meritorious." AND THE LAST SENTENCE IN YOUR divine post... " bring one face to face with onself "naked and hece face to face with the > divine"mother". or father .or oneself. or the universe. or god." wise words! drop the veil'; stop pretendendig' be like a child ' approach the divine mother stark naked in a sahaja bahava - in the most natural state." here devotees! i would like to draw your attention to the 'sandhya' bhasha or 'twilight language' of tantra! Twilight language is "a secret, dark, ambiguous language in which a state of consciousness is expressed by an erotic term and the vocabulary of mythology or cosmology is charged with Hatha-yogic or sexual meanings." our yoga-child mentioned about thirumoolar's thirumandiram - here is a passage where the poet describes the devotee's union with the absolute... On the Peaked Mountain is a Summit High, Beyond the Summit blows a Gusty Wind; There blossomed a Flower that its fragrance spread Within that Flower, a Bee its Nectar imbibed, explanation... The gusty wind of the controlled breath spreads the fragrance of the Sahasraara lotus at the crown of the head in which the Lord as a tiny bumble bee sits, lapping up the nectar of immortality. The image of the mountain usually infers the body seated in meditation or the central nadi Shashumna through which the kundalini shakti flows. Here is another "shocking" verse from a tantrik text! ( "Inserting his organ into his mother's womb squeezing his sister's breasts and putting his feet on his guru's head... He will be reborn no more. " does it not sound vulgar, obscene ? is tantra advocating incest? if you take the literal meaning of this verse, that is what it sounds like, does it not? but please read on... THE ORGAN HERE STANDS FOR THE CONTEMPLATING MIND. The mother's womb is the triangle at the root chakra. The sister's breasts are the heart chakra and the 3rd eye And the guru's head is the 1000 petalled lotus at the crown. it is advocated again and again, one must study 'tantra' under the guidance of an initiated guru belonging to a tantric lineage - otherwise e will all be groping in the dark thinking 'tantra' is advocating 'promiscuity' and 'unlimited sex'.... so folks! tantra just teaches you how to worship the 'goddess' within ! i leave you all with this verse from ... >From the CHANDOGYA-UPANISAD: Where there is ecstacy, there is Creation. Where there is no ecstacy, there is no Creation. In the Infinite, there is ecstacy; There is no ecstacy in the finite. hari om tat sat!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 dear dakinik monk, thank you so much for your views on the panca makara sadhana... but, i was a little surprised to see you labelling the panca makara sadhana as 'asuri' sadhana... in tantrik literature panca makara sadhana is referred to as 'vamachara' or left handed path or the path of kaulas... in fact, in sree lalita sahasaranma , there is a reference to Devi being worshipped by those who are devoted to kaula tradition. (verse 441- om kaula marga tatpara sevitayaii namaha) our beloved shri ramakrishna himself practiced the panca makars except the "maithuna" even though his female guru brahmani bhairavi encouraged shri ramakrishna to do so on many occassions... but one thing shri ramakrishna insisted and that the panca makara sadhana should be performed only by sadhakas of divya disposition! the kaulas follow the authoritative scriptures of parasurama sutras and the 64 tantras and perform tantric rites based on the panca makara sadhana.. for the samayins (dakshinachara) the authoritative scriptures are the samhitas of Sanaka, SANANDA, SANATKUMARA, SUKA AND VASISTA, KNOWN AS SUBHAGAMA PANCAKA The samayins perform external worship according to the kalpa sutras of the vedic tradition adi shankara followed the path of samaya worship and offerings consist of milk and fruits.. as you have mentioned , substitutes are introduced in the paca makara sadhana honey and ginger in the place of wine, pumpkin or coconut in the place of meat, two flowers for maithuna etc... again, dakinik monk! no path is superior to another... swecchara and swatantra - according to one's will or independent thinking... that is the beauty of Tantra.. there is no fetters of mind; there is no such thing as 'wrong' doing or sin fulness... read this please, "Bhairava said: Listen, Vira Chamunda, to the characteristics of vessels and the way of acting. One may be like a child, a madman, a king, like one in a swoon, like an independent spirit, like a Lord Hero, a Gandharva, a naked person, a Tridandin or like one teaching knowledge for gain. The way to be is to act however one wills." SIR JOHN WOODROFFE also STATES .... "It is very difficult for anyone to know his (AVADHOOTA) true nature. When alone he is like one mad, dumb or paralysed and when in the society of men he sometimes behaves like a good man, sometimes like a wicked one, and on occasions he behaves like a demon. But the Yogi is always pure whatever he may do and by his touch everything becomes pure." LORD DATTATREYA DEFINES AN AVADHOOTA THUS... "The Avadhuta is so called as he has discarded worldly ties, and he is the essence of the sentence 'Thou art That'. His worldly existence consists in moving about freely, with or without clothes. For them thereis nothing righteous or unrighteous, nothing holy or unholy." To a true tantrik (no matter to which tantrik school he belongs- shakta, shaiva, vaishnava, ganpatya or saurya) there is no such thing as sin or virtue, bad or good, pure or impure, holy or unholy and foul smell or fragrance have you heard of saint vamkhepa , the tantrik saint of tarapith? he was a tantrik par excellance! pl read nora's post on this saint ! tantra is about celberation not 'celibacy' - celebrating all of life- all of creation... THe divine mother and her whole creation! the relationship of a child to its mother is a unique one! similarly, the bhava in which a devotee approaches the divine mother is totally 'personal' ! love and regards .. ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Dear Aadi, Vamachara is Asuri, asuri does not mean evil it means highly accelerated, lots of risk, high demand and get a lot of bad karma. These are the outcomes, when you go far indeed you go far but the higher you go the harder you will fall. That is why many incl myself are against Asuri sadhana. I was once challenged by an Asuri sadhak who took great offence to this, he was a great devotee of Devi Kali even more so then I since he practiced Khanda Manda yoga, when he challenged me, he made got punished by my protectors and protecting deities like Dakini, Hakini, Kakini and lord Shiva. When he asked Devi he was given a very harsh reply that being that he had succumb to ahamkara. When you do asuri sadhana it is a must that you are fully controlling all your desires and senses. Kaula has three parths and the highest is against all this, all these rituals are done on the inside and all kaula texts are encrypted so what you read and quote is false since you need a nath guru to teach the true meaning of kaula siddhanta. Kaula is only practiced once you have reached nirvakalpa samadhi that is when you become atharvan kaula the true shakthi abhishek to initiate a kaula is when his/her glands produce amrita. None of us are at this level hence lets no even go into the field of Kaula; Asuri sadhana is something I have studied a great deal of since most people who despise me practice this form of worship hence I must be aware of what they do. Asuri sadhana is not for beginners besides Babaji is totally against the concept of Asuri sadhana and so is Lord Krishna hence one should not do this. History has repeated itself over and over again. When you do asuri sadhana you are fueling your atma with evil sooner of later this will take effect; there are two ways one can approach God the way of Light and the way of darkness, once you delve into darkness you will get lost.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 dear dakinik monk, thank you once more for a detailed explanation! dear heart! it would be kind of nice if you explain the terms you use in your posts so layman ( laywoman ) like me can understand the fuller nuances of your posts... i know 'asuri cannot mean evil! how could it be? one of devi durga's name is 'asuri' ! my leanings are more towards 'samaya' worship and sri vidya tradition .... you state that one of your detractors practiced 'chanda munda sadhada' and let us reflect on this a little bit! what is 'munda' sadhana... munda means 'skull' or head and head represents 'ego' and the very goal of 'munda' sadhana is to crush the 'ego' in this type of sadhana, the sadhaka sits on top of skulls and performs tantrik rituals... it is a variation of the 'shava' sadhana - instead of going to the cremation ground, you perform this 'munda' sadhana rihjt where you ARE ! IT IS SAID... "The highest sadhaka who recites a mantra whilst holding the rosary of human skullbone holds in his hand the eight siddhis, and is like the imperishable Shambhu. As the Ganges is situated at the top of one's head, what need is there to bathe in the (external) Ganges? Whosoever is devoted to the great rosary of human skullbone gains the merit of bathing in all sacred waters such as Varanasi, Kamarupa, Haridvara, Prayaga, River Gandaki, Vadarika and the Ganges Delta -" Matrikabhedatantra IV, 27-29 Mahakala has four arms and three eyes, and is of the brilliance of 10,000,000 black fires of dissolution, dwells in the midst of eight cremation grounds, is adorned with eight skulls, seated on five corpses, holding a trident, a damaru, a sword and a kharpa in his hands. O SHIVA SHAMBHU! MAHESHWARA! PARAMESHWARA! IN THE BOOK KAALI the black Goddess, Elizabeth Usha Harding WRITES WRITES. A DESCRIPTION OF MUNDA SAHANA " In a garden near Ramprasad's house was a Panchavadi grove where the five holy trees- banyan, bel, amalakhi, ashoka and peepul - grew side by side. According to the Tantrics, this type of grove is an ideal place to practice Tantric sadhana. Ramprasad spent hours there, forgetful of the world and meditating on a panchamundi asana. This asana is seat made up of five skulls- the skull of a snake, a frog, a rabbit, fox and a man. On special days, such as Ekadasi, purnima and full moon, he fasted all day and remained in the Panchavadi instead of going home." here is a PanchavaTIi in Dhokkineswar where Sri Ramakrishna used to perform Tantric rites. It is said his Tantric Guru MAA BHIRAVI BRAHMANI brought the five skulls for the asana. this is an advanced sadhana practiced by the ) Vama margis. but, dakinik monk, this sadhana is only recommended for sadhaks who are in the mode of 'divya' bhava not 'pashu' or 'vira' bhava... and the purpose of such an advanced sadhana like 'munda' sadhana is to conquer one's ego and to attain enlightenment ! the goal of all sadhana is to attain 'enlightenment' ... i am against those who practice sadhana for acquring siddhis or occult powers or practice 'witchcraft' and 'magic' - There is no doubt that all tantrik sadhana should be practiced under a tantrik guru from proper lineage... you are absolutely right about that! but on another note, why should people despise you? and why should they do 'asuri' sadhana to get the better of you? i do not understand! anyway, you mention Krishna and let me tell you in sree vaishnavism, it is clearly said you approach lord krishna only in the bhava of a 'rasika' - radha-krishna rasa lila is beyond the understanding of non-bhaktas... onlky those who are well versed in raga-anuraga bhakti can understand this mahabhava! it is vaishnava-apradha even to question the transcedental love of radha-krishna ! evemn of kali it is said " the six darshanas could not understand her" again , i repeat, whether it is tantra or advaita or sree vaishnavism, it is 'bhakti' ( devotion) (that leads to 'mukti' - liberation! when you reach the highest state of para bhakti, one does not need 'riruals', 'scriptures etc!! hari om tat sat!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 greetings yoga-child! you write ... maa adi_shakti, thank you for that scholarly explanation. i honestly dont think you count as a layman/woman. That is the sad part ! only scholarly! pure semantics! simply academic! tantrik sadhana should never be undertaken without initiation from a Guru - this has been acknoledged by most members here... HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT MEAN WE CANNOT PERFORM ORDINARY PUJAS (NOT TANTRIK RITUALS) TO THE DIVINE MOTHER OR MEDITATE ON HER DIVINE NAMES! USING A BIJA MANTRA or practicing yantra puja AND practicing tantric rites from BOOKS ARE HIGHLY UNDESIRABLE... this is why there is so much confusion about what the panca makara sadhana is all about "Beguiled by false knowledge as propagated, certain persons, deprived of the guru-shishya tradition, imagine the nature of the Kuladharma according to their own intellect. If merely by drinking wine, men were to attain fulfilment, all addicted to liquor would reach perfection. If mere partaking of flesh were to lead to the high state, all the carnivores in the world would become eligible to immense merit. If liberation were to be ensured by sexual intercourse with a shakti, all creatures would become liberated by female companionship." (Kularnava Tantra) again and again the question is asked what are these pancamakaras! i have never seen 'feces' listed as one of the panca makras ( Rajat you are right about that) The panchamakara (five "m"s) are maithuna (intercourse), madya (liquor), mudra (bean), mamsa (flesh) and matsya (fish). They form part of a rite performed by those of the class called Viras (heroes). Tantrik practitioners fall into three classes: divya (divine), vira (heroic) and pashu (beastlike). sadhaks who are in the 'pashu' bhava are totally prohibited from doing the panca makara sadhana ... Now the question is asked about 'maithuna;' what is maithuna? if defined in ordinary language it can be translated into 'sexual' intercourse... but dearone! it is above and beyond that! "A true sexual intercourse is union with the goddess within. " tantra never advocates intercourse with any other woman except one's wife but in the case of the sadhak iwith the divya disposition, it is allowed because he has conquered all his lust and passions ! Sir John Woodroffe, in his introduction to the Karpuradistotra, which is a 22 verse hymn on Dakshina Kalika, pashus -states those of a base disposition, are forbidden to engage in sexual sadhana at night. "The Pashu is still bound by the pasha (bonds) of desire, etc., and he is, therefore, not adhikari for that which, if undertaken by the unfit, will only make these bonds stronger." . Woodroffe further says that the worship of Kali in the pashu mode is totally forbidden by Shiva, quoting the influential Niruttara Tantra as his source. "By the worship of Kali without Divyabhava and virabhava the worshipper suffers pain at every step and goes to hell. If a man who is of the Pashubhava worships Kali then he goes to the Raurava Hell until the time of final dissolution." KALI SADHANA (involving the use of panca makras) IS VERY POWERFUL but at the same time should be undertaken only under the strict guidance of a tantrk guru,,, "As to the matter of a suitable Shakti for the sexual rites of Kali, the NT suggests that when a sadhaka has already achieved success with his own Shakti, he may then worship another woman. But Woodroffe says this other woman is the supreme Shakti in the sadhaka's own body. " THE cremation ground... "The cremation ground is often interpreted as the place where all desires are burnt away. Before realising kaivalya (liberation), the sadhaka must burn away all the taboos and conditionings which prevent this liberation. The cremation ground (shmashana) is also the supreme nadi or channel within the human organism - the sushumna -- The central channel of bioenergy within the spine of a human being, the royal road of Kundalini. There the Devi or goddess is coiled up three and a half times at the base of the spine. When she unfolds and enters the sushumna, the bliss of this cosmic orgasm causes the universe to disappear. On the sadhaka within the shmashana yantra is Shakti, both entwined in close sexual embrace. She is the human form of Kali, as he is the human form of Shiva. Both are forever united." The Niruttara Tantra says "The cremation ground is of two kinds, O Devi, the pyre and the renowned yoni. Shiva is the phallus, Kuleshani! So Mahakala said." Questioned later by Shri Devi in the same tantra, Shiva says that the vagina is Dakshina herself, in the form of the three gunas, the essence of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. These three forms represent the powers of creation, maintenance and destruction. They have their Shakti counterparts. " as devi herself says... "O All-Knowing One, if I am known, what need is there for revealed scriptures and sadhana? If I am unknown, what use for puja and revealed text? I am the essence of creation, manifested as woman, intoxicated with sexual desire, in order to know you as guru, you with whom I am one. Even given this, Mahadeva, my true nature still remains secret." for those of you who think 'yoni' refers to the 'vagina' --- here is the best news... "yoni refers to the pyre in the cremation ground" and maithuna refers to the sexual intercourse with the goddess within! yoga child, yes!!! scholarly! that's all there is to it!!! take care, dear!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Dear Adi, munda yoga is child's play teenagers in Fiji practice it to attract girls and yakshinis LOL, I am talking about KHANDA MANDA YOGA where the sadhak cuts of his/her limbs as offers to goddess in Fire twelve hours later the limbs regenerate but this is only if it is done to perfection. The sadhak I am refering to was superior to me in all was but since he did asuri sadhana for so long he started to get asuri nature, this is when devi made him to come to his senses by putting him in this predicament. He was a teacher of mine who taught me how to control churels and other pretas. A great personage indeed, he killed himself later as an offering to Devi and I hope he succeed in whatever he asked for, he had to take agni samadhi where his prana incinerated him, this was to purge himself of the bad karma he had collected from asuri sadhana; this was his last offering to Devi. You see he did asuri sadhana for almost forty years, he attained powers we can only imagine but all that in vein he still had to go through a rough process. His name was Sanjiv Patel, he despised me since he thought I looked down at his rituals (this was at a later stage) but all that was, was I was scared of his intense rituals. I guess he was a true aghori and lived up to the reputation, most of his sadhanas was done alone and his guru I never knew nor did he ever mention. It took him twenty years to master it and then forty years he continuously practiced it. He died aged 82. He was the one who told me about Dakini sadhana and that without it Kalika's yantra will no yield, he taught me a lot of things about tantra and he himself said that you cannot do these sadhanas part time once you start you cannot look back, hence only talk about it when you do it. (when you practice these sadhanas you do not talk about it, it is gupta). What he meant was this is not to be talked about nor should it be practiced by commoners. Dear Adi take my friend's advise he was only one of the handfuls who succeeded but even he fell victim to his anger and ahamkara, I was the scape goat LOL. I can get drunk in ahamkara and I wont have to pay a great price like his since I have chosen a path very simple, I to do samaychara puja. Vamachara is not all it is cut out to be, too much bad karma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 deare dakinic monk, this is becoming more and more interesting , intriguing and above all fascinating ! but, dear one! i had a different concept of 'aghoris' - by very definition an aghorui is onw who io fearless! lord shiva's name is also aghori - that is why he roams fearleslly in cremation grounds with bhutas and pretas? dear one , you say "gupta" - meaning'secret" but in a few posts you have revealed more to this shakti than what lord shiva ever revealed to devi in all the tantric agamas... lol!!! smiles! thank you! a shakta writes on panca makaras... Five Makaars are Madira (wine),Mamsa Meat)Maithuna (sex), Meen (fish) and Mudra (spl sign). Madira (wine) - Brahmsthhan sarojpatra lasita brahmandtripti prada…. Ya shubhranshu kala sudhavigalita saa paanyogya sura! In the sahasradhara lotus (chakra), Chandra kala has gathered a nectar, this sura (wine) is to be drunk (by a Shakti sadhakaa) Mamsa (Meat) : Kaam Krodh sulobh moh pashu kamshichhatva vivekasina…. Maansam nirvishayam pratm sukhadam khadanti tesham budhaa You have Kama (lust ), krodha (anger), Lobha (greed), Moha ( attachment) , these animals in you. O shakta !take the sword of regular Viveka (discrimintaion) and sacrifice these animals to the Mother and eat their meat (finish completely). Meena (Fish) : Ahamkaro dambho mada pishunata matsardwisham…shdetanminaan vai vishya harjalen vidhritaan Dwesh (hatred), maan (false pride ), Dambha (ego-ahamkaar) these fishes are swimming in the Chitta (mind) of worshipper who should catch them, fry them and eat them recognise them and destroy them) Mudraa (sign) : Mudra is like asana in Rajyoga. When shakti is evoked certain organs of the worshipper take a special shape to let the energies flow evenly. Mudra is practiced while worshipping, to avoid stoppage of energy. Maithuna (sexual-intercourse) Kula Kundali Shakti Dehini Dehdharini…tathha shivasya samyogo maithunam parikirtittam The body of worshipper has kundalini shakti (feminine power)…its mating with the Shiva (male power) in Sahasrachakra (crown chakra) is a real Maithun (sex) for the Shakta well, kalikaputra - what do you think? you like this explanation? dear one get 'drunk' on the divine name of the divine mother sree lalita tripurasundari and you will always be situated in divine consciousness! sir, you are right on one point ! in tantra, one never views anything with disgust... even feaces (excreta?spelling?) .... i do not know about the 'eating' part though! though india had a prime minister who drank his own 'urnie' first thing in the morning! and mr. moraji desai ( who is now deceased) was in perfect health and in perfect shape and of sharp intellect and fine physique! he died at quite an advanced age! he was also a bramhachari since his wife died at an early age... this does not mean everyone should try 'urine' therapy! lol! in tantra nothing is regarded in disgust... The Kaulavali Nirnaya (Agamanusandhana Samiti, Calcutta nd), edited by Sir John Woodroffe, is a digest of other Kaula tantras. Summarising chapter 18, Sir John paraphrases the tantra:-- "there are people who regard semen and menstrual fluid with disgust, but they forget that the body by which they hope to attain Liberation is composed of these two forms of matter, that the marrow, bone and tendons have come from the father and the skin, flesh and blood from the mother. It further says that there is no reason for man's disgust for excreta or urine, for these are nothing but food or drink which has undergone some change and contains living creatures and the Brahman substance is not absent therefrom...All things are pure. It is one's mentality which is evil." (KN, introduction, pp19- 20) guys, what do you all think? in chandogya upanishads it is said 'food' is brahman! 'speech is brahman' etc.... but this one is new on me!!! love aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 You are quoting dead tantras, their esoteric meanings are a big deal, a secret and I agree with you fully in most of what you say. I think this discussion should seise unless one of you does intend to go into these sorts of worship. It isn't good to talk about these things especially when you don 't have a master to guide you since Shiva's curse can come upon you and corrupt you.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Aadi when you meet an aghori learn from his rituals, a true aghori will eat his crap as it was food, what is the difference between you and your delicious dinner, crap is just a part of that cycle what is meant by eating your own crap is that you have no bias, no disgust you accept the whole cycle. Pancha Makara doesn’t hold much significance to me, it is nothing in comparison to what I have been taught, (this isn’t ahamkara mind you but the truth). There are few rituals that need this in the rite to summon a deity I just use Kungika sadhana in the rite to kill I summon on Asuri Durga and do her vidya homa, in the rite to attract or control minds I call on the power of mother kalaratri or Matangi, to drive someone insane or retart someone I call on Baglamukhi or Narasimha swami, in the rites of protection I call on Lord Shiva and mother Kali and in the rites of exorcism it is always mother pratyangira and Kali ma. These are the occult rites in which pancha makara is needed however I can do any without, that is the tremendous power of my teachers however I am forbidden to cause harm hence I will never any killing sadhanas. Indeed I have imparted some things that usually is kept secret but tell me, I knowledge that I have given can it be used to kill? I think not besides anyone who takes a sadhana from me (incl utkilana mantra) and uses to kill then Dakini will kill him/her. Before I give anyone an Utkilana mantra I add the Dakini bija to it so if it is misused in occult the occult is reflected back. LOL. Stick to doing japa of Kungika it is very powerful and you don’t need nonsense like this for it just offer a coconut and your set. The Kungika is the most powerful Shakti mantra without the usage of Utkilana it is neither Tantric or Vedic in nature but transcendent of both; don’t be foolish and do gayatri, the true gayatri is locked away in secret due to rishi Bhrigu and Vishawamitra.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 dear kalika putra ( i like this id better- son of mother kalika) , what do you mean by asking whether i have met an aghori? i do not have to go anywhere to meet an 'aghori' - HE is THERE RIGHT IN MY HEART DOING THE 'TANDAVA' NRITYA! our own Adi- Natha - the pratama guru of the natha lineage- pashupathinatha, shambhunatha! lord shiva but seriously, kalika putra, crazy as it may sound , you are right on targt when you claim that saints belonging to aghori cult eat their own crap! in 1955, a saint named Ram nath from kolkutta visited the pashupati temple in nepal - this 'aghori' saint Ram nath ate "he ate human stool, urine and even flesh." i have also read about Aghori RAM NATH in an article in hinduism today while surfing the net! maybe yogaman can throw more light on this saint belonging to the aghori cult! what is the message we get from all this? doe it mean we should all start eating our own crap? what is means is for those who have 'expanded' consciouness ( tantriks) there is nothing pure or impure- they havre transcended all dulaities!! they are non-dual beings fully situated in pure consciousness (chid sakthi) what is kungika mantra? please elucidate! i do not need any mantras to empower me - i am already empowered for 'shakti' resides in every limb in my body - thamk you, anyway! love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 yes please do explain a little bit more on this philosphy. aghoris do not publicly eat "crap" to display to others their mastery over duality- this is something that they do in their privacy, outside of the public eye. so no one need get offended that they are setting a bad example. if i am not mistaken aghora is one of the five visible aspects of Lord Siva and aghoris are essentially saivite medicants. you appear to be well-versed in both saktha tantra and saiva aghora and that too at 16 years of age. perhaps you could tell us how the two correlate? yogaman , Kalika Putra <dakinic_monk> wrote: > > I advise you to stay away from aghora philosophy; If you are still interested then I will explain this whole concept to you. > > > > > Greetings > - Send your seasons greetings online this year! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 Aghora is not about eating your crap; that is just a small thing, Aghora is a big thing and it simply means not dangerous, fearless and things of that genre. Aghora tantra how many percieve it; at the hands of Aghoris is not where it ends, that is just an extreme perspective. ofcourse there is colleboration between shakta and aghora as Shiva and Shakti are inter related. I am not going to go into the true depths for the philosophy is something dear to me and I dont want to impart that. However what the simple relation is do everything fearlessly and do not identify yourself with the act you do but God; through the knowledge of Bhagwatam aspire to imitate God. We are filled with imperfections but through this immitation we will reach the closest level. The Shiva Sutras will help you. Greetings - Send your seasons greetings online this year!

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 Namaste dakinic_monk. Time for some ego destruction. What is the point of you being here if you claim to know the "true depths" of philosophy and not want to impart it? I don't believe you know the "true depths" of Aghora philosophy. If I am wrong, then prove yourself. Probably you'll say, "This is secret and I can't tell you people." Any fool can say they know some esoteric knowledge and not tell because it's "secret." There are no secrets anymore. If you know something, come out and help everyone out. Probably next you'll say, "My Dakini, Rakini, Hakini, etc. protectors are gonna mess you up 'cause you challenged me." I don't think so. Don't even try anything with whatever powers you think you might have. You'll only hurt yourself. Next you'll say, "Mahavatar Babaji this and Babaji that...he's my guru." This is quite a claim. You better be prepared to back it up with some proof or at least with some teachings that will blow our minds. So far I've seen a lot of "I know all this and you people don't. Listen to me, I know everything." I've been waiting for something of use from you, but so far there has not been much I could have learned from any book or off the internet. Don't claim to know something and then keep tight lipped about it. What's the point of being in a discussion group? I think you're here to get your ego stroked. Prove me wrong, fool.

If I am wrong, then prove yourself. Really, do you take me for a fool; this reverse psychology stuff dosent work on me besides; I dont practice Hardcore Aghora so I really dont have realisation on this field what I would know of it's philosophy can be hear say. I choose not to since there are some that should not partake of this (one man's medicine is another's poison). If you are so interested and search it out yourself I am under no obligation to teach anything. Besides if I give this philosophy I would automatically become guru your teacher in this field. I dont want to take this responsibility. This isnt simply sharing and If you know anything about vamacharic tantra most of it is hush hush. I dont practice vamachara nor do I intend to preach it. If I bring this subject up then there will be conflict. Lots of it from self proclaimed scholars, what the true philosophy holds it isnt showen outside. I dont think you will be capable of partaking in this knowledge especially over the internet this follows an oral tradition and I dont intend to break it. Probably you'll say, "This is secret and I can't tell you people." Any fool can say they know some esoteric knowledge and not tell because it's "secret." There are no secrets anymore. If you know something, come out and help everyone out. Again; this reverse psy crap dosent touch me however i see that you are curious (you did pick a stupid appraoch to get info out of me, attempting to aggrevate me wont do squat). I am not your guru, this is your guru's job. You would have to join the leneage to partake of this knowledge since there is a rigourous test process. This philosophy will only come to you if you are away from maya that is the soul purpose of this pilosophy. Probably next you'll say, "My Dakini, Rakini, Hakini, etc. protectors are gonna mess you up 'cause you challenged me." I don't think so. Don't even try anything with whatever powers you think you might have. You'll only hurt yourself. The holy mothers protect me, I dont send them to anyone. Those who take siddhi sadhanas frome me partake a mantra sankalpa where these goddess are sakshi. Dont mention things you cannot comprehend the mothers are beyond you. Do not call on their names in such a manner it offends me greatly. Next you'll say, "Mahavatar Babaji this and Babaji that...he's my guru." This is quite a claim. You better be prepared to back it up with some proof or at least with some teachings that will blow our minds. Well; I frankly cant comprehend a single thing he utters hence I wont be a parrot and convey these things to you or anyone else. why dont you meet him on your own accord. I went through hell to get where I am and I aint gonna open up the easy road to slack lazy bums. So far I've seen a lot of "I know all this and you people don't. Listen to me, I know everything." I've been waiting for something of use from you, but so far there has not been much I could have learned from any book or off the internet. Good for you; I really dont care about what you learn and what you dont. I share what I am allowed to share and if you dont like it then....well...I am trying to censor myself! Don't claim to know something and then keep tight lipped about it. What's the point of being in a discussion group? I think you're here to get your ego stroked. Prove me wrong, fool. Again what is with you and speculation, insulting me wont get you any where. My ego isnt all that big and if it is then so be it. I am no self proffessed swami that knows everything but an imperfect being. Please get that in you petty mind. I know things and I have sheared a lot you just have to ask some people here like Yogaman, Rajat, Pria and a few other people. Some chose not to go further orelse I would have given them knowledge of this philosophy. You arent one such person; I am sorry but I must feel comfortable with the person I give these sadhanas to. You are definetly either, retarted, arrogant, stupid or just plain dumb. I gave the greatest mantra on earth to Devi on this post. The mere sadhana of that gives darshan of mother. What else do you want? You are most definetly the fool! seriously this mandane posting was something I should not have replied but my ego isnt all that small. I can make you pay but that will just lead me into bad karma Devi will leave me and that will be the end of that. Although I have studied it I am against vamachara and occult. the only things acceptable is lime and coconut offering. There are times where there isnt much choice but if I did I woulnt pick vamachara. Aghora philosophy is a personal thing for me, I dont want to go into it since I wont be able to bare any criticism to it. i am not talking about aghora as in the Aghori well not literally. i am who I am content and happy; I have given some knowledge to many. I started off saying I am no master and I stick to that. I wont be here talking about my personal life since it is intertwined with the philosophy i know.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 Hey Siva! Cool down! I think a lot of the perceived arrogance in dakini_monk comes because he does not mince words when he speaks out his mind(after all he only 16:-)). And when in comes to babaji, visions of goddesses etc, perhaps you may have a tough time believing it as they are so few people who have this experience- i do know of people who have similar experiences but they dont have an internet connection! I myself dont take anything for granted and only if I am convinced that will I go for it, I am not in a position to comment on most things but I will say this much Kalika putra's instructions on japa/sadhana were extremely useful and is probably the missing link in most manuals on sadhana-some of this is original and I have not seen it elsewhere. I believe that this can come only from a person who has practiced a lot since I myself have been doing rigorous japa sadhana for a long time; most things I have been doing till then were mostly a trial and error thing got from a diversity of sources. Visions of gods/goddessses are not that impossible as it seems(though I have not had one yet)- there is a good book called Mantra-tantra by LR Chawdri- this guy was a retired engineer who was drawn into tantra-gives a lot of sadhanas- but there were no practical instructions on japa sadhana. Once again I request all to give a patient hearing to Kalika putra- as he most certainly gives some useful tips in mantra sadhana(kriya, bhuta shuddhi,pranayama etc), something useful to all. This is not to say that members should not excercise caution when doing sadhanas off the web- indeed only if coming from a deep conviction should one proceed to do tantric sadhanas, which can be dangerous sometimes. yogaman Message: 2 Mon, 23 Dec 2002 03:07:22 -0000 "sivadancer <sivadancer" <sivadancer Re: Shakti the sex energy?
