[Guest guest]

Hi Peeps, My name is Kirk. I have been a member of this board on and off for

about six years since before it changed over to a 'groups' and was a

'club.' With that many years considering the subject of Shaktism, I still feel I

am no expert on the subject. Especially the longer I hear of the great

multiplicity of images of The Mother. That said, I am a Buddhist Shakta who came

to Sri Prajnaparamita through semi-traditional darshana of yoga and through

study of the tantras (as much as one with as little language skills as myself

could gather). I am a Maharishi International University graduate from the 80s.

 

I consider Buddhism the older wiser brother and Sanatana Dharma the younger

sexier sister, amongst religions. I think the two really compliment each other

in terms of wisdom. I know that some might think otherwise. But I'm a lover, not

a fighter. (Great Michael Jackson line). And if Shaktism wasn't in fact, sexy,

it wouldn't be a separate conscription. (It's ironic that Michael Jackson was

taken to court over love - illegal love). Though I'm a Buddhist I'm also a good

chameleon, trying to partake of discussion of whatever level. My root lama is

Kunzang Dechen Lingpa from Assam, where also lies Kamakoti, the Yoni Peeth.

 

I just wanted to say 'Hi.' Especially since I frequented here previously under

other pen names. I once wrote a piece for the SS group on Kamala after chanting

her approach mantra the requisit amount of times. I feel She led me to the

'Lotus Born' Guru Padmasambhava. From worship of Lotus Goddess I was led to

Lotus Guru. That's my personal myth and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for reading.

Hello, and welcome back.

 

I was a bit worried about you and am glad to see you posting again;

were you much affected by Katrina?

Hi Kirk

 

To each their own opinion and religious choices, but regardless of

that, Devi far predates Sakyamuni Buddha, whose followers adopted her

seated-on-lotus iconography.

I assume you are trying to be provocative but it comes across more as

offensive. If you are here to learn and share that is good, but why

piss in the pond you want to drink from?

Hey Max Dasha, long time, thanks for dropping a line to say hi.

 

That remark about the pond. I don't know which pond you or anyone else plays in

to particularly be able to piss in it. If you play in a pond.

 

But you're right about that drinking part it seems. Sorry what I wrote pissed

you off so. You know, I always say, if you walk on the right side of the street

people will curse you, and the same if you walk on the left. Doesn't matter who

a person is or what they say or do, they will still be in someone else's way.

Thanks for saying hi.

 

Yes, everyone here was effected a good bit. Everything seems more like Maya now

than before. A dream of sorts. It would be hard to explain. Lots of possibility

though, and then again, a new stormy season very shortly.

 

I have seen the world's future.And past. It's a restless planet. It likes to

stay fresh. Whatever clings is released. Liberated spontaneously.

 

Wow. Thanks for your concern, MS, and others.

I'm not pissed off, but questioning why you would make such a comment

on a Shakti Sadhana list.

 

If i was mad, believe me, you would know in no uncertain terms.

Namaste Kirk,

 

Sounds like you have a lot to offer and are not shy about putting it

out there to share. That's excellent.

 

For myself, I consider Buddhism, and Shambala practice to be a great

simple introduction to eastern philosophy for many of my friends who

otherwise can't find their way in.

 

I consider Micheal Jackson to be an unappetizing pervert who was put

on trial for assault and child victimiztion, and not "love." I never

did like his music, and I do enjoy the genres of pop and dance. I

still remember being very very young and hearing him exclaim during

one of his childhood hits: "Sit down, girl! Get up, girl!" and even

then I thought: Oh stuff it, you little jerk.

 

It's good to have you back. I look forward to your posts.

----Thanks. I don't know why I referenced MJ. It's a dated topic. Just a bit of

stream of consciousness. Myself, I do listen to R&B, Neo-soul, and what's known

as 'Urban.' But I understand why people don't like them. In particular I like

what's known as the 'West Coast Shiny Happy' sound typified by Raphael Saddiq

and other 'instant vintage' type artists.... such as Pharrell, etc.... It might

not seem like Shakti related, until you listen to Teedra Moses, Dawn Robinson,

or Lizz Fields, or...

Namaste Kirk:

 

I too find Buddhism a very powerful path and wisdom tradition. Culturally I

was born and raised a Hindu, but I took Guru-Diksha fairly late (at the age

of 28) and have chosen Sri Durga as my Ishtadevata.

 

I would love hear more about Sri Prajnaparamita. There is a book by Lex

Hixon on her entitled "The Mother of the Buddhas". I haven't read it yet,

but I was wondering if you had encountered it.

Santo,

 

Lex Hizon's Prajnaparamita sutra translation is excellent.
