A real adept? Wow, cool.

May i put online the transcript of my talk with him? ;) I won't do

this unless he interferes for Ur protection though. But this very

argument of Urs is queer... I can also bring forth some "real adepts"

- yet i prefer to stand myself for my views.

Come on, stick to insulting me personally ONLY. Then it's ok, i won't

care to answer U. I may be rubbish myself. But what i told regarding

this issue is true.

Once again, U are welcome to prove the opposite.

 

I am now inclined to believe that

path of Yoga.

 

Let U think in this way.

It is a Shruti from the point of view of Abhinavagupta himself.

While vedic scriptures according to him are vessels of shit :).

No doubt :).

Really? Should i provide the context or U have got the text to read?

Puranas i do not really care LOL. While some Tantras indeed repeat

this statement - which is in perfect correspondance with Yoni-tantra,

due to the fact that all of them reveal the same doctrine of Kula.

> Statements as what you make lead me to believe that most of

spiritual truths of India have never left her shores and even in India

it is in severely short supply.

 

This is false to such a degree that it is not even needed to be argued

:).

 

BTW you are not affiliated with the Tantra-

I am amazed by Ur reaction actually. If U wrote all this stuff being

fully aware, then for sure there is no need to discuss further. I have

neither time nor desire to go through volumes and put dozens of proofs

for my words - moreover, that will be useless.

 

I am not in Tantra-sangha and had never been a student there. Although

visited it a few times before it's end in summer of 2000.

Currently by grace of Devi i have gurus in two Kaula schools, both

ethnic indians. This is not a self-advertising LOL, i say this just in

order to clarify the matter for U.

 

I hope the issue is closed :). Thank U for Ur efforts in typing, U

gave me the chance to speak.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

Arjuna,

 

In retrospect I think my reply was somewhat harsh and perhaps veering

a little on side of exaggeration. I will blame the Divine Mother for

this lapse of mine, for I am only Her vessel, SHE is in charge :-).

 

I clearly behaved like a monkey (possibly from doing too many monkey

excercises LOL). Please accept my humble apologies. 93 to you too!

 

Best regards,

-yogaman

93,

 

I am happy to hear this :).

 

A sad fact, too many problems are rooted in trivial misunderstanding...

 

Best wishes,

A.
