But the question is: inhe likha kisne sir and how did they become so powerful more than the Bhagavad Geeta or the writings of Sri Aurobindo or Ramakrishna Paramahansa or Ramana Maharshi’s writings? Inhe yeh sab inspiration kahan se milta hai for writing about vamachar sadhana, black magic, the bali process, or even nar bali? And they have so many reasons to just say ki iss rishi ne diya hai, us rishi ne diya hai. Is it the divine or the asura guiding them?
2)Yeh pura tantra ka system kisne build kiya, both Vamachara and Dakshinacharmarg. And commanded to use Panchmakar in the Vam marg. Yeh tantrik, aghori, yeh sab jo sadhana karte hai namely shav sadhana, panch mundi sadhana. What is their goal? Liberation or an asuric path to siddhis, then performing Black Magic and Vashikaran.
Aur har jagah nara lagate rehte hai Har Har Mahadev, Jai Mahakal. Jai Maa Kali.
Is it Bhagwan Shiv who helps and renders the desired outcome?
India is the hub of spiritual seeking in many different ways. Vedanta, Tantra, Yoga are the three main streams out of which and towards which many streams flow. Quite naturally, when we have too many things available, say in a market, then there is a great chance of confusion, unless one is sure of what one is looking for. Besides, when something is in great demand, there is always a possibility of its imitation coming in the market. The Indian mind naturally turns to spirituality and mysticism and hence there are many approaches, partial as well as complete, true as well as mixed or even false, that have entered the space.ย
Yes, there are all kinds of names of Rishis that are linked with the Puranas. That is why it has always been adviced that while one can read the Puranas, enjoy their symbolic stories and occult, mystic truths behind them if one knows how to decode but for practice and true Self-knowledge one should turn to the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Gita. Of all these, the Gita serves as the best practical guide for those who seek to realise the Divine while living in the world.ย
The Tantras are a special class of spiritual literature that deal more with the working of energies rather than foundational, fundamental truths. The Tantra Yoga, unlike the Vedantic system or the Gita, requires a living Guru who has mastered these powers and forces. Such gurus are naturally extremely rare and the risk of fall is also very high because one is dealing with all kinds of forces and energies, benevolent, malevolent, and many others in between.ย
The onus is on the seeker. One should be clear as to what one is seeking. True spiritual life depends upon the sincerity of one’s aspiration, the genuineness of faith, the will to surrender to the Divine. Methods, processes, practices are secondary. Especially one should be careful if any one claiming to be a guru demands money to teach you something. It is a different thing if the disciple or the person who has benefited feels the natural urge to give something. But there should be no expectation, let alone demand, of anything. Money corrupts everything and much of modern so-called spiritual teachings have also unfortunately come under its influence. But a genuine Master never makes a precondition for sharing his spiritual wealth. This is a simple pointer to differentiate the authentic spiritual teaching from the mixed stuff one often finds in its garb.
