across the river to the shores of fearlessness, immortality, freedom and
perfection.

how to use Tantra to bring harmony and love into your life. It is not difficult
to find a lover, but it is always difficult to sustain a long lasting
relationship. This is due to the dual nature of human's, as a result sorrow and
loneliness has become the way of life to most.

There are may form of Tantra that is available to people to explore, and the one
that our Master shares is from the Tradition teaching of Indian Tantra. Tantra
has always been regarded as an esoteric and a secret way of spiritual practice,
not accessible to the common folk. A seeker who wants to follow this path must
outgrow the social and even human outlook of life and develop a more divine
outlook in respect of all aspect of his or her life. Tantrika must live a life
of non-duality and detachment; for attachment brings out the neediest aspect in
all of us, which again creates suspicion and reservation, love at a needy level
brings about possessiveness and jealousy. Love has no language, age, creed,
color or looks. It is an exchange of energy between the souls, thus the ego
should not have any say in the matter. The meeting of two souls is a karmic
connection, and not one should manipulate the events, but just flow with the
energy, to ensure growth and the fulfillment of ones karma. Most of the real
connection happens when one least expect it to happen.
The philosophy of Tantra is based on the concept of dual nature of everything.
Nothing is single, but everything is bi-polar. Human's, are a result of the
coming together of two forces, Siva and Sakti, and also can be said as the
positive and the negative poles.
In the beginning of time there was a universal Uni-Cell, as it were, known as
the Brahmanda, which split into two, one the Cosmic Woman and the other the
Cosmic Man. The behavior of the two parts of any single organism seems to be a
double attitude of the consciousness of duality and unity at the same time.
While the concept of Shiva (Man) and Shakti (Female), in its highest essence,
represents the Supreme Cosmic Duality, one can imagine only attraction and love
operating there, so that Shiva and Shakti are considered as inseparable facets
of a unitary reality some time known as Ardhanareesvara, the Cosmic Androgyne.
The same is with human, who are both male and female, the left being the female
and the male being the right side of the being.
Humans are the only species who find it hard to live in harmony within the
unitary reality, and are caught up with the principle of repulsion, Viz.,
dislike going with like, hatred going with love, which is the lower level where
the Soul cannot tolerate the interference or sometimes even the presence of
another such Soul. This subtle operation can be seen manifest in its grosser
forms when one family group finds it difficult to appreciate another family
group and bestow equal love upon it, one organization, one social group, and
even one individual, cannot look upon another such without some suspicion and
reservation. All this is so because humans of modern time are living a life of
duality and not in harmony with the female and male aspect within when not
unified creates confusion. The female aspect which ones love will go with the
flow, and the male ego will become the judge and jury, thus creating obstacles
to what could be a soul connection. Tantra teachers one to understand one's
sexuality, thus getting back from duality to unity
According to Tantra, the sorrow of life is caused by a bi-polar existence, a
split of the one into two (female and male), thus it is important for all to
strive to become one from within, and one with the world around. The aim of
Tantra is allow both the male and female element of one to dance in harmony,
thus removing duality in ones life
The dual from of life is in a sense an unnatural way of living for there is
always an ambivalent attitude of like and dislike at the same time form within
one being. With most humans, love getting suppressed when love gain the upper
hand, this is due to the lack of understanding that both these attitudes of like
and dislike, are present in an individual, hidden and only one of the aspects
comes to the surface as and when the occasion demands. To get back from duality
to unity is the process of Tantra Sadhana. While this is the objective of every
Sadhana, what is the specialty of Tantra as distinct from other Sadhana, is the
way in which the achievement of this objective is approached.
The distinction is very subtle, not easily noticed. In all forms of religious
practice, mostly, there is an ascetic injunction towards a rejection of the
outer for the sake of the inner, the material for the sake of the spiritual, a
cutting off of every desire as a negative obstacle to Sadhana, and considering
of every joy in life as an evil to be eradicated at the earliest opportunity.
In Tantra, the things of the world, the material forms of perception, are not
really obstacles, and a desire cannot be overcome by rejecting the desire
itself. Everything in the world and itself is a passage to perfection.
Tantra holds that outer object in not bondage, because of the fact that the
object is inseparably related to the self, the object is the other pole of which
the self is the complementary pole. Thus, comes the great dictum of Tantra, that
desire can be overcome only by desire, even as only the object can overcome the
object. "That by which one falls is also that by which one rises", and in the
west sex could be the falling way, yet in Tantra it can be used for spiritual
growth.
Tantra Sadhana is considered to be a graduated movement through different
ascending stages of understanding and a disentanglement of duality thus creating
greater understanding help in disentanglement of the self from the object, by
rising to a condition help to transcend the very relation between the self and
the object.
The greatest obstacles to spiritual perfection are generally considered to be
wealth, power and sex, and it is these that the Tantra intends to harness and
overcome by the very means by which an untrained mind may head towards a fall.
Every object has a gross form, a subtle form, and a divine form, and every
Sadhaka has to pass through all these stages, and none of this stage can be
rejected as an obstacle but has to be traversed personally. Tantra Astrology can
help to determine which of the stages one is born under.
One can be born as a Deva, which is god like, and yet be born as a Sudra, which
is the lowest degree of spiritual or ego development. This will create a
conflict in the individual's life, struggling between the desires of being godly
and yet engrossed in lower ego activities. Such individual will have to learn to
raise the ego or spiritual objectives, by learning to harness and overcoming the
lower tendencies with the guidance of a Guru or Spiritual Teacher who has a
great understand of all aspect of Tantra.
Tantra and Shakti Worship
The Shakti philosophy is as old or older then the Vedas. The Devi is the
principle of creation, the principle of auspiciousness, the principle of cosmic
energy and Divine Knowledge.
Tantra Sadhana bestows tremendous Siddhis or power. It should be learnt under a
Tantric Guru. The Tantric student must by endow with faith, devotion, and
dedication to Guru, humility, courage, cosmic love, truthfulness,
non-covetousness, and contentment. Absence of these qualities in the
practitioner means a gross abuse of Sakthism. Sakthism has been one of the
potent powers fro the spiritual regeneration of the Tantrika. This system is one
of the most important of Eastern systems
Those who worship the Divine Goddess, who is God in Mother form, as the supreme
power, which creates, sustain and withdraws the Universe, to a Sakta. A true
Sakta see all women as the form of the Divine Mother, and worships her as the
same. A Sakta does not worship the temple (human body), but worships the Goddess
within. The awareness of the body receives the worship. The best form of the
Goddess or God or the Sri Chakra are living Women (Yoni) and Men (Lingam) The
Goddess and Gods can be invoked in them and worshiped as a form of external
worship. Our Master used this very method to heal Women and Men of all their
past pains and trauma.
A Sakta's who have a partner will always begin by worshiping their partner's
temple, before learning to internalize their worship of the Goddess. Without
attending the first grade, one cannot progress to the University of Life, unless
one has done all of it in their previous life, as such they are eligible for the
internalization approach..
