Guest guest Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 Namaste, Admittedly, though my ishta devata is Maa Bhairavi(in Her more erotic/beautiful/gentle form), I am...a Saiva Siddhantin!! Yes, you may all outstretch your arms, point your index finger and yell " BAAAHHH!!! " I follow the Advaita Ishvarvada path (monistic theism) outlined by my Paramguru Siddhar Tirumular. He has an entire section on the WORSHIP and PHILOSOPHY dedicated to MAA BHAIRAVI in his collection of 9 Tantras collectively called " Thiruumandiram " . We believe in NO difference between Siva or Sakti..it's like two sides of the same coin (this is where Sakta's usually bring to my attention Maa Dhumavati and Her NOT having a corresponding Siva!!!) Recently my Gurudeva passed away: Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami on Novamber 12, 11:54pm, and I felt it necessary to eliminate my withdrawal from associating with religious people. I hope to find friends that I can talk Tantric philosophy and Sanatana Dharma with...mostly because out here in Vancouver B.C. all you get is the hardcore orthodox Hindus who believe anything Tantric is polluted, base and black magic oriented; the wannabe puritan's that DO practice black magic using tantric methods (COME ON GUYS, WE ALL KNOW IT'S THERE IN THE TANTRA'S, NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY WE CAN'T DENY THAT ISTHAMBANA AND MARAN METHODS ARE IN OUR SCRIPTURES); or individuals calling themselves " Siva's " and " Sakti's " after a mind-bending Tantri sex workshop..and then they all go out to eat fries and cow carcass on bread! Dammit! I've nearly seen it all in the West's quest for Tantra, and " No sir...I don't like it! " It sucks being stuck in the middle! " So please, pretty please, with sugar on top " ...write me back and let me know if ya wanna have a conversation or give me some sort of feedback, okay? Shyam.
