Its like fooling ourselves. Again, sex AS sadhana is to be practiced in Kula tradition recieved from guru or yogini. Not by anyone who wants to try it out LOL. But sex is not an obstacle to sadhana because it is natural and essentially pure. Moreover it gives a chance to see Divine - though only 1 out of 10000 realise that... >Osho preached about "Sambhog se Samadhi" meaning "From Sex to Sublime" which is impossible. Following Osho many people have generated a perverted meaning of Shakti Sadhana. It is a > great Tragedy. Much more had generated a perverted meaning due to "preachers of purity" such as Swami Sivananda etc. To suppress sex causes more damage to phyche than to enjoy it - EVEN if U view it as an obstacle. There is never freedom achieved through suppression and unnatural struggle. Alas to those lifeless creatures who had cut off the energy of Life and Love due to their egoistic lust for "spiritual power"... > Veer bhava speaks of considering Goddess as your wife or wife as ur goddess and get spiritual elevation, EVERY married man has to see Devi in his wife. If one loves his wife, he will understand this and accept. If not, they have to depart - only love can unite in Truth... but I think Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa has > shown us all the forms of Shakti Worship and he never had Sex. How U know, had he told U or Devi Herself? Please, enough baseless pointing at Ramakrishna. We do not know exactly, but more chances are there that he had done sexual sadhanas. Even if not, it doesn't mean anything for us. For a married person sex is a part of dharma and a way to moksha. To keep away from sexual enjoyment in marriage is a sin according to Scriptures and tradition. Do we speak about normal people or about sannyasins? I assume sannyasins are not sitting in front of monitor but wander around or sit in caves LOL. Leaving sannyasins, for everyone sex is a part of life. What is the use to exclude it? Why not to enjoy and bring holyness into it? If one is a true sadhaka, every deed turns into a holy act. In the end even shitting is puja to Devi. But let us not start from that . To start with natural is to start properly. > So stop considering sex as a spiritual practice my dear Brothers and Sisters. Sex is NOT a sadhana by itself. Noone stated that. But if sex is in love it elevates spiritually and socially both. Otherwise it turns to mere body activity, such as eating or sleep - not bad not good, just natural. > Woman is a mother first and shakti sadhana considering a woman/shakti as a > mother first is the best way. > Hariom Everyone is free to follow his will. But according to Shakta doctrine what U say is not exact. The highest love is between lovers, not parents/child. The most dear woman is beloved, not mother... A.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Why is Sri Ramakrishna paramahamsa being dragged into this ? Infact he validated all practises including keeping the relationship of divine mother as one's lover So if he has not practised a particular path that doesnt mean that path is irrelevant, he did not practise the way of Buddhism/jainism but he had lot of respect for the founders of the way I hope this rests the case Vik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
