Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 What is the history of the term "sahajiya"? We do not find it in the Gosvami Granthas. Its modern application varies incredibly much. Traditionally a prakrta-sahajiya is understood to be one who engages in tantric sexual practices, identifying himself with the object of worship (Radha & Krishna) during his "bhajana". This is of course not what we refer to most of the time when we say "sahajiya", especially without the "prakrta"-prefix. > > > > Please define "sahajiya tendency". > > > > > > To concentrate on the highest topics without even be able to control > > > the senses and realizing that one is not the body. > > > > Right.
