Questions about Saiva Tantra

[Guest guest]

I received this from one Siva O'Laochdha , who is not a member of our

group and I am hoping he will be very soon. I have his permission to

post this questions in the message board.

 

"I have three brief questions. In one of its articles, your site

makes reference to Saiva Tantra (ie., Tantric sects focussing upon

the worship of Lord Siva). Can you recommend any substantive websites

representing this dimension of Tantra, as it is practised today?

Secondly, are you aware of any Saiva Tantric ashrams or guru-lineages

in present-day Kerala or Tamil Nadu? If so, where specifically are

these to be found? I am especially (but not exclusively) interested

in the Kaula sect, as this exists within a Saiva context."
