Quiet a peculiar "observation" - based on two-three myths and not more

)). In any case, this is totally wrong from the tantric point of

view.

But, of course, ascetism itself is viewed by Tantras as an unnecessary

useless efforts or even a heresy. Thus, kaulism is out of the realm of

this investigation.

However i strongly doubt that orthodox brahmans or traditional

vedantic sannyasis would agree with what U said as well.

 

Tantric male and female [advanced] practicioners would rather join and

embody the Union of Shiva and Shakti, Samarasya .
