Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Dear Narasimha, Thats really nice of you to spread the light, it really helps knowing that tantrik need not necessarily mean tamasik and what tantra is all about. ofcourse there is more to it and i need to learn it slowly. Thanks for giving an example on it. If can take the liberty, maybe you should write a detailed article in the lessons section so that we all can learn more from it and not form easy opinions before studying it, I tend to form opinions very fast. U said: > I am younger than you and so I called you ji. > > Just trying to make you feel old... :-) Now, that's just what a woman needs, someone to make her feel old ), oh, I was just joking. I am sure at the end of the day its only inner beauty that counts. I do understand the indian tradition of attaching the word 'ji' to give respect, also I do agree to that - to some extent and I don't shun the practise. Let me clarify my earlier statement and hope it doesn't cast a scandal ), well these days I am on the trip of unconditional love one could say, mmm I am sincere about it, I would rather prefer you and everyone loving me rather than respecting me (if ofcourse the word ji is used in terms of respect), somehow I feel or maybe am trying to feel/experience that Love is more better/preferable than respect. I am sorry I am not addressing you and the seniors in this list with the added syllable of "ji", but let me assure you that I gather your essense and have each one of you in the magnificience of your light and the great work that you all are doing to spread this science and not just boost of self image. As I know this is not a personal forum so I will limit my already big letter. Warm regards, Sushmita vedic astrology, "Narasimha P.V.R.

Tantra is simply a procedure/method/system that is associated with a mantra.

Then your praanaayaama or control of breath becomes the tantra that makes the mantra more effective. But is this an undesirable tantra?
