The tantra-s and tAntric schloars themselves have differing opinions

on this. So it is not as easy as it is put above.

So I request people to kindly refrain from giving labels to this

practice as it is not an easy topic. To give an idea:

Ex: One(not the only opinion) popular opinion is that vAmAchAra is

meant only for advanced upAsaka-s who have great degree of self

control who are free from the desire to drink or eat meat.

 

Since we are more focused on samaya/daxina achara-s as Sridhar

rightly pointed out let us not dwell on this topic much.

I am glad you mentioned this. Shri Ganapati Muni himself obtained a

secret tArA vidya from a great upAsaka in the North by name Suresha

Mishra(is the name correct?). When he recieved the vidya he was told

that he is probably the first one to take this vidya to the south of

vindhya mountains.

Dear Satish Ji

 

Well said. For every path there is the relevant adhikarathwam to it. Therefore

if one is opposed to another on finer matters , what is important to say is ,

that this path is not applicable to me and to focus on his path only.

 

Even the spirits which are used in Visheargya, the satstras prohibits to

consume Not more than just an Uddarini ( Half Teaspoon) and to take it without

the proper samskaras to it attracts hell.( As per Bhavanopanishad )

 

I am no way connected to these Practices , but out of respect to all these

types of margas I invariably engage in a discussion with individuals practicing

it , for knowledge sake.

 

Last Month when I was in Kolkotta for the Ganga Sagar Mela, I had an

opportunity to go to TARA PEET which is 220 KM from the city and is located over

the burial ground. Ambaa Ji is pleasing like Kaali but here the entire cheek is

blood stained and looking forward for Her grace was an wonderful experience and

while standing in the Q I saw a dead body being carried to the burial ground and

the local Bengalees told me that the dharshan of a deadbody before entering the

temple was very auspicious.

 

Jai Tara Jai Tara the words of the devotees still Echoes in my ears when I

think of that trip.

 

Regards

ganapathy
