Tantra and the rest.

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

Tantra is a very secretive sadhana, and is older than

the Vedas, older than Adam and Eve, for it is the

Continuum. Some Sadhakas follow a system that involves

use of the sex organs, Kundalini ojas etc, and this

is misunderstood by Westerners and Hindu

Fundamentalists particularly.

 

Not by all Hindus, the more enlightened Vedantists

are more understanding of what it is, even if it is

not their 'bag', so to speak, like myself. One first

has to understand that morality is relative to a

society and that there is ultimately no bad or good,

only that which achieves Moksha. This tantric system

is called antinomianism, pratilo-man, against the

norm, paravritti-inversion, Mai-thuna or ritualised

sexual intercourse.

 

Tantra is quite secretive but there are some hints,

starting with Siva/Sakti, quoting the Artharva Veda,

Magic-Conjuring, Materialisations,

Apports,Ateeta-Sakti-Hynotism,(mass hypnotism),

smoking Bhanga, Vijaya, (Cannabis).

 

Bliss is bliss, sexual bliss is fleeting but it is the

Sakti. This is why people are attached to it, it is

the nearest they get to the ecstasy, of Samadhi. It

is used by some tantric schools to induce sustained

ecstasy leading to a kind of Savikalpa Samadhi,

obviously not Nirvikalpa.

 

They say it is possible for one Tantrika Siddha to

raise entire humanity. This has never been achieved by

any Avatar or Divine Descent yet! So-Ham by the way is

a tantric mantra.

 

My guess is that these tales we hear, from time to

time, from all over, about strange group sex and dope

etc are due to this misunderstanding. Unless one can

take one's mind back before religion and even back

beyond the Tantric parable of Adam and Eve,( Kundalini

Serpent), back before right and wrong, one will not

understand any of this. Not all Tantra is overtly

sexual of course. What is good in one age may be the

reverse in another age, it is all relative. The big

block to understanding spirituality and liberation is

unnecessary fundamentalism. West or East.

 

There is a difference though between homosexuality and

molesting pubescent children of the same sex. Please

understand I am not condemning any group for sexual

preference except of course paedophilia. That is not

any kind of acceptable Tantra.

 

Love Om Namah Sivaya, Tony.
