Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Most of the gods have two or more consorts. Hinduism does not object to sex. It is the ascetics who discourage others. Tantra is a part of Hinduism. Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life. And it does not come in the way of good living and good living consists of everything that a man or woman does. Sure, too much of anything is not good and maybe that is one of the reasons that ascetics discourage sex. As rightly said, Krishna did have lots of lovers and still people follow his teachings. But are they following his love life ? No, it is up to people to decide what to take and what not to digest from Hinduism. Hinduism does not compel anyone to take sanyas or abstain from sex. Sex outside the family is a no no but what is the point in marriage if there is no sex with your partner for life ? Why undergo the entire exercise of getting married and then abstain from sex ? If you follow Hinduism as a way of life, sex will become a routine in that way of life... -- With Best Regards Baalaaje Krishnaswaamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hinduism is the most democratic code of living left behind by our ancestors. Sex is infact so sacred that Sivalinga is a symbolic glorification of the same. However why rishis advice satviks to refrain from sex is because 1) it is very addictive 2) it prevents our mind to focus on a point during meditation. Sex is a union of two souls which communicate with each other at the highest level when practiced as a union for exchanging energies. It harms both when practiced for physical pleasure alone. When sex is pure practiced with the same partner it energises both their body , mind and the spirit. Reaching God is possible through low frequesncy while in meditation. It is also possible while in highest frequency (tantra and sex) Therefore sex for pleasure alone develops tamasik qualities while practiced as a holy union where pleasure is supplemented with spiritual and mental development helps build satvik qualities. Thats why all the great sages except Vishvamitra were married. Sex practised for spiritual development will develop healthy and happy individuals as found in India during the golden ages of Chandragupta Maurya. It was restricted once the moghul invaders and later the Euroeans tried to convert as many as possible through all means including force. The society had to become closed and lose all the benefits of a free society. Ramakrishnan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
