Guest guest Posted August 29, 1999 Report Share Posted August 29, 1999 Hari Om! Anurag Namste ! Of course, I will oblige you with a brief description of the 'Left-Handed Path'. It is my pleasure to do so. _______________ The Dakshinacharins are the only respectable Shaktas. We profess, indeed, to possess a ritual as pure as that of the Vedas. The vAmAcharins, on the other hand, adopt a ritual of the grossest impurities. They profess the desire to become one with the deity by means of mystic rites; but in reality these rites are simply orgies of lust, except where the object of the worshipper is to obtain siddhi [magical power], in which case recourse is had to mystic formulas at midnight in a cemetary or cremation ground. This worship is not a degeneration, as has sometimes been held. It is a survival of the same primitive mother-worship that once obtained among all the Dravidians as among the Semites. Saints like Thakur, represent an ongoing process of assimilation into the Vedic fold, of these diverse elements. To Quote again the Blessed Master: " All will surely realize God. All will be liberated. It may be that some get their meal in the morning, some at noon, and some in the evening, but none will go without food. All, without any exception, will certainly know the real Self.
