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.

lotus The True Nature of The Tantra Goddess

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.

Tantra And Sexual Healing

love Tantra And Sexual HealingTantra and sex are inseparable concepts in the minds of millions. This is unavoidable, because improved sexual performance and gratification are definitely important aspects of the tantric way of life. The problem lies in the fact that tantra – and especially the concepts of tantra god and tantra goddess – is seen as a means of turning men into erotic supermen and superwomen.

It is important to understand that in the tantric sciences, the tantra goddess is in fact the deification of woman. From being an object of man’s lustful intentions, she becomes a deity to be cherished and worshipped. This new way for a man of looking at his intimate partner is an integral part of the process of sexual healing. How does this happen, and why is it necessary?

Throughout the centuries, the sexual objectification of woman has been the primary cause of perversions and relationship breakdowns. Both the man and the woman suffer – the man is incapable of seeing sex and sexual intimacy in its proper context, while the woman often considers sexual relations as a cross she has to bear. It was never means to be this way.

In tantra, sex is an act of worship – a beautiful thing. The tantric arts prescribe various tantric rituals to align men and women to the true meaning and purpose of intimate relationships. The woman is given an opportunity to recover from the sick conditioning she has been subjected to over the centuries. The man learns to revere and cherish his woman. As a result, sexual healing takes place.

The process of sexual healing via the tantric route must be carefully laid out and monitored, and this requires the involvement of an accomplished tantra teacher – the quintessential guru of ancient India lore. The tantra master is not a sexual gym instructor, but a spiritual guide who teaches couples how to recover from the wrongs they have inflicted on each other, and how to set right these wrongs.

The ancient Indian tantric masters developed this science in a manner that factored in various aspects of sexual healing. The system they developed is an extremely powerful force – a force that can easily turn on those who attempt to wield it without knowing its secrets. This is this system of healing relationships and empowering couples must be learned and practiced only under the guidance of an expert tantra teacher.

The Meaning And Practice Of Tantra

There are many faddist sects that claim to propagate the cause of sacred sexuality today. However, ancient tantra is the only genuinely spiritual path that embraces and teaches the art of celestial eroticism. This ancient Indian art of love has its roots in yoga; this is why many of the tantra exercises prescribed by a tantra teacher are in fact yogic postures that have been adapted for tantric instructions.

tantra meditation The Meaning And Practice Of Tantra

Translated from its Sanskrit, the word tantra pertains to expansion, joining or weaving. There is logic to this meaning, because tantra is all about expanding consciousness, joining intimate partners in a celestial embrace of spiritual awareness and weaving their spirits together where only the bodies joined before. The erotic essence of Hindu tantra is aptly represented by the world-famous Indian treatise of spiritual sexuality – the Kamasutra.

This ancient scripture was written by Vatsyayana, an Indian sage who had a very unique take on life. Rather than seeing it as mere physical existence with spiritual aspirations, he thought of it as an orchestration of spiritual, financial and sensual impulses. The word ‘Kama’ refers to the delight in objects and pursuits by the five senses, with the mind and soul supporting this delight. The spiritual aspect must not be overlooked, or the entire meaning of Vatsayana’s immortal work will be lost.

It is noteworthy that tantra in not the mere pursuit of sexual pleasure. It is about cultivating spiritual love and passion as well as worshipful reverence for one’s intimate partner. A genuine tantra master’s efforts will not be just towards turning his pupils into sexual adepts, but also balancing their male and female energies so that they can join in the celestial dance of Shiva and Shakti. There must be a physical as well as spiritual union, and these can be achieved by practicing the tantric arts.

To encourage the required attitude of worshipful reverence, tantric practices put a lot of emphasis on rituals and ceremonies. These rituals serve the distinct purpose of tempering the urgency for sexual release and bringing about a meditative, ceremonial mind-set. Only when this mind-set is achieved can a student of tantra begin to understand what sacred sexuality is all about.

Students of tantra should keep in mind that undiluted tantra – meaning tantra that has not been contaminated by faddist pop cultures – was never put down in writing.  The purest form of Tantra was not passed down in writing, but only by way of initiations and personal instruction. It is therefore important to find a tantra teacher who has undergone ritual instruction by another genuine tantra master.
