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.

Tantra Goddess Worship – Learn to Listen

The art and science of tantra is many things – but above everything else, it is the science of love. Love becomes a verb and is no longer an abstract concept. Love becomes worship, and femininity becomes the Sacred Feminine. Your woman is no longer merely a woman – she is a deity, and a deity deserves to be worshipped.

Tantra goddess worship is of great benefit to your woman, since she attains her ultimate emotional goal – to be cherished. However, tantra goddess worship is a lot more than a set of rituals – it is a whole mind-set that must be integrated into the man’s psyche and life. This mind-set is gradually inculcated as the man begins to understand the nuances of his training under a tantra teacher.

What does it mean to worship or completely cherish a woman? Does it merely involve overt displays of sexual interest? Not at all. While every woman enjoys being praised for her desirability, what she really yearns for is to be fully understood and accepted by her man. Such understanding and acceptance can only come from attentive, worshipful listening.

Pay attention as your tantra teacher as he describes your woman’s deepest emotional needs. Her gender has been subjugated by the more forceful and wilful male for centuries. Her voice has been silenced by tradition, society and her own feelings of unworthiness. When you worship her as the tantric goddess in your life, your first duty is to allow her to express herself to you.

Learn to listen to your woman – really listen. Not only must you listen, you must also know how to make her open up her thoughts to you. Remember that sacred sex must always be preceded by sacred love. For sacred love to become manifest, the object of your love must first be made aware of her own holiness. When you sense any sort of emotional discord or disturbance in your woman, ask her gently what it is that upsets her.

She may not open her heart to you immediately. Nudge her gently until she volunteers to disclose the source of her discontent to you. When she does open up, assume and maintain an attitude of worshipful attentiveness. Never interrupt her as she expresses herself. Always validate what she tells you. Never criticise her or question the veracity of her feelings.

Foster and grow this attitude of worshipful listening with your woman with the guidance of your tantra teacher. You will be amazed at how much more responsive she will become to you. Only when this deep emotional connection between man and woman is established can genuine tantra goddess worship take place.

Self-Inquiry Is A Necessary Ingredient Of Tantra Practice

Many who have discovered tantra cannot wait to go ahead with the much-hyped promises of greater sexual gratification it holds. Such aspiring tantra students wish to learn the tantric arts for this reason alone, and they completely miss the point. Learning tantra is not about having better sex, even if that is one of the promises of this ancient art.

The most important step in learning tantra is finding a qualified tantra teacher who can properly initiate the aspiring student. Without a tantric master, the student will do little more than embark on a wild goose chase and wind up disillusioned. It is no more possible to learn tantra from a book than it is to learn a language in the same manner. A knowledgeable guide who can chart the course of instructions and make necessary corrections when the student veers off course is absolutely essential.

One of the main reasons why it is necessary to learn tantra under a tantra teacher is the fact that learning this science effectively requires considerable self-inquiry. Though this is a process where the student delves within himself or herself, the process itself cannot take place unsupervised. Self-inquiry is not within the natural bounds human nature. In fact, our natural reflex is to avoid self-inquiry because what we tend to see within ourselves makes us extremely uncomfortable.

Why is self-inquiry a prerequisite to learning the tantric arts? The reason is that in order to experience true freedom – spiritual, emotional or sexual – we must first identify what enslaves us. Our ingrained faulty beliefs about ourselves, others and things such as sexual intimacy hold us back from exploring our fullest potential. A tantra teacher will guide his student in the process of self-examination compassionately, but he will not allow the process itself to be avoided.

Various tantra meditation techniques and rituals are employed in the process of self-examination, and these lead to self-discovery. Often for the first time, the tantric student is confronted with what beliefs and attitudes he or she is driven by. This is invariably a shattering experience. However, it is also accompanied by an indescribable sense of blissful release from the bondage of false beliefs.

As these false beliefs about oneself, one’s intimate partner and the whole issue of intimacy crumble, students of tantra become ready for the first stages of initiation. Then – and only then – will they be able to understand the full spiritual power of the tantra energy that lies within them.
