Ambaa-L is focussed more on daxinaachara and samayachaara. These terms are

used differently and sometimes interchangeably. To be precise, we have two

markers a) it should be in line with shruti, smrti and puraaNa b) In general

sense it should be agreeable to shankara maTha-s. If these qualifications

are met, then we should avoid such posts.

 

kaama is not always translated as lust and so is rAga. rAga is attachment.

These could be context sensitive. Love and lust are contrasted like light

and darkness. Lust arises out of the false notion that Self is body. If

that notion is not there that attachment will fade away.

 

Kindly post material that is agreeable to paragraph #1. By this, I am not

criticizing vAmachara or kaula maarga, or by whatever name these thing go

by. Simply it is outside the scope of the list.

 

Thank you.

 

Ravi
