Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 93 U are right if U speak about upayas (methods). Shivopaya is higher than shakta- and anava-. But in this case while vamachara is shaktopaya, all hatha-yoga and alike stuff fall into anavopaya. Which is btw concidered not be liberation even - only preliminary. Thus Abhinavagupta writes in Tantraloka about uselessness of yoga (that is ashtanga of Patanjali). He states that all these angas lead nowhere but just bring the person to "some conclusions" . However, in fact union with shakti is not only a metod to achieve state of Yamala but it is expression of inner Yamala that is achieved! Look at this .
