Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 As I have said in the past, I do not agree that the only or primary relationship between the mortal male devotee and the Devi is erotic. The Goddess is maternal, and the incest taboo is pretty universal. I see my relationship with my Ishta as that of shishya to his Guru, or little brother to elder sister. Furthermore, don't let the apparent gender of Godhead keep you from loving Brahman. Straight women can fall in love with Shakti. Straight men can fall in love with Krishna. And I know gay men who have no attraction to women, who are totally besotted by Durga. For Godhead, gender is as fluid and arbitrary as skin color or body size. If Godhead revealed itself to Arjuna T. as Lord Shiva, would A.T. pout and say, "No, I want a VOMAN! LOL" Maybe. His loss. -- Len/ Kalipadma --- devi_bhakta <devi_bhakta wrote: > "Shakti Puja is considered to be the life and soul > of Sri Chakra Puja. > The adepts can perform all parts of the puja to > Shakti, a living > person.
