The True Nature of The Tantra Goddess
According to ancient tantra, there is a deep and inextricable connection between sex and spirituality. As such, human intimate relationships are therefore considered spiritual in nature. Where the necessary elements of this spiritual bond are missing, tantra gives us ways and means to introduce and nourish them. One such way is tantra goddess worship.
It is deplorable to see how the sacred concept of tantra goddess worship has been bastardized today. It seems to have become a pseudo-spiritual pseudonym for female-dominant prostitution. Many online portals advertise so-called ‘tantra goddess worship services’ wherein men who enjoy being dominated sexually by a woman can pay for the privilege. Nothing could be further from what true worship of the tantric goddess truly is.
In tantra, the woman is genuinely seen as a goddess in all respects. She is the wellspring of creation and procreation, and the tantra goddess ‘puja’ (or worship) is both a series of rituals as well as an all-encompassing attitude on the part of the male. The male acknowledges that the sensual energies within the woman have been vested upon her by the Universe, and that it is from her that human life springs. The woman is therefore worshipped and her sacred sexual energy is given its rightful honour.
As the woman evolves in her male partner’s eyes from being a mere sexual object to the tantra goddess incarnate, a wonderful transformation takes place in their relationship. Mere intimacy becomes tantric love, and the cosmic dance between the tantric goddess and her worshipful consort commences. The male rises above his base physical desires and loses himself in his woman’s sacred incarnation. When sex does take place, it is nothing less than the celestial unification of the tantra god and tantra goddess. The relationship becomes holy in the eyes of the Universe, and is finally complete in all respects.
As the couple learn more about this wondrous new incarnation of their love from their tantra teacher, they become increasingly introspective and discover their innate spiritual potential. Love and intimacy become less self-seeking and more partner-focused. True communication begins, and the woman perceives – often for the first time in what may have been years of togetherness with the same man – that she is cherished and valued.
To learn about the transforming power of tantric goddess worship, it is essential that the partners seek the guidance of a gifted tantra master. Only in the context of expertly guided tantra for couples instructions can true sacred intimacy take place.
