“Kundalini Tantra“ VAMA DEVA KALACHARA IN KUNDALINI YOGA
In the context of yoga and tantra the common definition of
sexual life has no relevance. It is absolutely unscientific and incorrect.
This definition has created a society and a nation of hypocrites. It has
led thousands of young people into mental asylums. When you want something
which you think is bad, all kinds of guilt complexes arise. This is the
beginning of schizophrenia, and all of us are schizophrenic to some
extent. Therefore, the yogis have tried to give a correct direction to the
sexual urge. Yoga does not interfere with sexual life. Normal sexual life
is neither spiritual nor a spiritual. But if you practice yoga and master
certain techniques, then sexual life becomes spiritual. Of course, if you
lead a celibate life, that is spiritual too.
Left Hand Tantra The science of tantra has two main branches, which are
known as vama marga and dakshina marga. Varna marga is the left path which
combines sexual life with yoga practices in order to explode the dormant
energy centers. Dakshina marga is the right path of yoga practices without
sexual enactment. Previously, due to the barriers in sexual life, the path
most widely followed was dakshina marga. Today, however, these barriers are
rapidly being broken, and the path most sought after by the people
everywhere is vama marga, which utilizes sexual life for spiritual
development. According to tantra, sexual life has a threefold purpose.
Some practice it for procreation, others for pleasure, but the tantric yogi
practices it for samadhi. He does not hold any negative views about it. He
does it as a part of his sadhana. But, at the same time, he realizes that
for spiritual purposes, the experience must be maintained. Ordinarily this
experience is lost before one is able to deepen it. By mastering certain
techniques, however, this experience can become continuous even throughout
daily life. Then the silent centers of the brain are
awakened and they start to function all the time.
The Energy Principle The contention of vama marga is that the
awakening of kundalini is possible through the sexual interaction between
man and woman. The concept behind this follows the same lines as the
process of fission and fusion described in modern physics.Man and woman
represent positive and negative energy. On a mental level they represent
time and space. Ordinarily, these two forces stand at opposite poles.
During sexual interaction, however, they move out of their position of
polarity, towards the center. When they come together at the nucleus or
central point, an explosion occurs and matter becomes manifest. This is the
basic theme of tantric initiation. The natural event that takes place
between man and woman is considered as the explosion of the energy center.
In every speck of life, it is the union between the positive and negative
poles that is responsible for creation. At the same time, union between the
positive and negative poles is also responsible for enlightenment, and the
experience which takes place at the time of union is a glimpse of the
higher experience. This subject has been thoroughly discussed in all the
old scriptures of tantra. Actually, more important than the energy waves
that are created during the mutual union, is the process of directing that
energy to the higher centers. Everybody knows how this energy is to be
created, but nobody knows how to direct it to the higher centers. In fact,
very few people have a full and positive understanding of this natural
event which almost everybody in this world experiences. If the conjugal
experience, which is generally very transitory, could be extended for a
period of time, then the experience of enlightenment would take place.
The elements that are brought together in this process of union are
known as Shiva and Shakti. Shiva represents purusha or consciousness and
Shakti represents prakriti or energy. Shakti, in different forms, is
present in all creation. Both material and spiritual energy are known as
Shakti. When the energy moves outwardly, it is material energy and when it
is directed upwards it is spiritual energy. Therefore, when the union
between man and woman is practised in the correct way, it has a very
positive influence on the development of spiritual awareness.
Retaining the Bindu Bindu means a point or a drop. In tantra, bindu is
considered to be the nucleus, or the abode of matter, the point from which
all creation becomes manifest. Actually, the source of bindu is in the
higher centers of the brain. But due to the development of emotions and
passions, bindu falls down to the lower region where it is transformed into
sperm and ova. At the higher level, bindu is a point. At the lower level,
it is a drop of liquid, which drips from the male and female orgasm.
According to Tantra, preservation of the bindu is absolutely necessary for
two reasons. Firstly, the process of regeneration can only be carried out
with the help of bindu. Secondly, all the spiritual experiences take place
when there is an explosion of bindu. This explosion can result in the
creation of a thought or of anything. Therefore, in tantra, certain
practices are recommended by which the male partner can stop ejaculation
and retain the bindu. According to tantra, ejaculation should not take
place. One should learn how to stop it. For this purpose, the male partner
should perfect the practices of vajroli mudra as well as moola bandha and
uddiyana bandha. When these three kriyas are perfected, one is able to stop
ejaculation completely at any point of the experience. The sexual act
culminates in a particular experience which is reached only at the point of
explosion of energy. Unless the energy explodes, the experience cannot take
place. But this experience has to be maintained, so that the energy level
remains high. When the energy level falls ejaculation takes place.
Therefore, ejaculation is avoided, not so much to preserve the semen, but
because it causes a depression in the level of energy. To make this energy
travel upwards through the spine, certain hatha yoga kriyas have to be
mastered. The experience which is concomitant with energy has to be raised
to the higher centers. It is only possible to do this if you are able to
prolong and maintain that experience. As long as the experience continues,
you can direct it to the higher centers. But as soon as the energy level
undergoes depression, ejaculation will inevitably take place. Ejaculation
brings down the temperature of the body and at the same time, the nervous
system undergoes depression. When the sympathetic and parasympathetic
nervous systems undergo depression, it affects the brain. That is why many
people have mental problems. When you are able to retain the semen without
ejaculating at all, the energy in the nervous system and the temperature in
the whole body are maintained. At the same time, you are free from the
sense of loss, depression , frustration and guilt. Retention will also help
to increase the sexual frequency, and that is better for both partners. The
sexual act does not have to create weakness or dissipate the energy, on the
contrary, it can become a means of exploding the energy. Therefore, the
value of retaining the bindu should not be underestimated.
In hatha yoga there are certain practices which must be perfected for this
purpose. You should begin with asanas such as paschimottanasana,
shalabhasana, vajrasana, supta vajrasana and siddhasana. These are
beneficial as they place an automatic contraction on the lower centers.
Sirsasana is also important because it ventilates the brain so that all of
one’s experiences will be healthy experiences. When these postures have
been mastered, shambhavi mudra is perfected in order to hold the
concentration steadily at bhrumadhya. Then vajroli mudra has to be
practiced together with moola bandha and uddiyana bandha in kumbhaka.
Practice
of kumbhaka is necessary while the ejaculation is being held. Retention of
the breath and the bindu go hand in hand. Loss of kumbhaka is loss of
bindu, and loss of bindu is loss of kumbhaka. During kumbhaka, when you are
maintaining the experience, you should be able to direct it to the higher
centers. If you are able to create an archetype of this experience, perhaps
in the form of a serpent or a luminous continuity, then the result will be
fantastic. So, in spiritual life, bindu must be preserved at all costs. (In
Tamil one can read in detail I THIRUMANTHIRAM WRITTEN BY TIRUMULAR 3000
YEARS BACK.)
The Female Experience In the female body, the point of
concentration is at mooladhara chakra, which is situated at the cervix,
just behind the opening of the uterus. This is the point where space and
time unite and explode in the form of an experience. That experience is
known as orgasm in ordinary language, but in the language of tantra it is
called an awakening. In order to maintain the continuity of that
experience, it is necessary for a buildup of energy to take place at that
particular bindu or point. Usually this does not happen, because the
explosion of energy dissipates throughout the body through the sexual
medium. In order to avoid this, the woman must be able to hold her mind in
absolute concentration on that particular point. For this, the practice is
known as sahajoli. Actually, sahajoli is concentration on the bindu, but
this is very difficult. Therefore, the practice of sahajoli, which is the
contraction of the vaginal as well as the uterine muscles, should be
practised over a long period of time. If girls are taught uddiyana bandha
at an early age, they will perfect sahajoli quite naturally with time.
Uddiyana bandha is always practised with external retention. It is
important to be able to perform this in any position. Usually it is
practised in siddhayoni asana, but one should be able to do it in vajrasana
or the crow posture as well. When you practise uddiyana bandha, the other
two bandhas – jalandhara and moola bandha occur spontaneously. Years of
this practice will create a keen sense of concentration on the correct
point in the body. This concentration is more mental in nature, but at the
same time, since it is not possible to do it mentally, one has to start
from some physical point. If a woman is able to concentrate and maintain
the continuity of the experience, she can awaken her energy to a high level.
According to tantra, there are two different areas of orgasm. One
is in the nervous zone, which is the common experience for most women, and
the other is in mooladhara chakra. When sahajoli is practised during
maithuna (the act of sexual union), mooladhara chakra wakes up and the
spiritual or tantric orgasm takes place. When the female yogi is able to
practise sahajoli for say 5 to 15 minutes, she can retain the tantric
orgasm for the same period of time. By retaining this experience, the flow
of energy is reversed. Circulation of blood and sympathetic parasympathetic
forces move upward. At this point, she transcends normal consciousness and
sees the light. That is how she enters the deep state of dhyana. Unless the
woman is able to practise sahajoli, she will not be able to retain the
impulses necessary for the tantric orgasm, and consequently she will have
the nervous orgasm, which is short-lived and followed by dissatisfaction
and exhaustion. This is often the cause of a woman’s hysteria and
depression. So, sahajoli is an extremely important practice for women. In
uddiyana, nauli, naukasana, vajrasana and siddha yoni asana, sahajoli comes
naturally. The practice of amaroli is also very important for married
women. The word amaroli means ‘immortal’ and by this practice one is freed
of many diseases. The practice of amaroli over a prolonged period also
produces an important hormone known as prostaglandin which destroys the ova
and prevents conception.
Tantric Guru Just as in the scheme of creation, Shakti is the
creator and Shiva the witness of the whole game, in tantra the woman has
the status of guru and the man of disciple. The tantric tradition is
actually passed on from the woman to the man. In the tantric practice, it
is the woman who initiates. It is only by her power that the act of
maithuna takes place. All preliminaries are done by her. She puts the mark
on the man’s forehead and tells him where to meditate. In ordinary
interaction, the man takes the aggressive role and the woman participates.
But in tantra, they switch roles. The woman becomes the operator and the
man her medium. She has to be able to arouse him. Then, at the right
moment, she must create the bindu so he can practise vajroli. If the man
loses his bindu, it means that the woman has failed to carry out her
functions properly.
In tantra it is said that Shiva is incapable without Shakti. Shakti is the
priestess. Therefore, when vama marga is practised, the man must have an
absolutely tantric attitude towards the woman. He cannot behave with her as
men generally do with other women. Ordinarily, when a man looks at a woman
he becomes passionate, but during maithuna he should not. He should see her
as the divine mother, Devi, and approach her with an attitude of devotion
and surrender, not with lust. According to the tantric concept, women are
more endowed with spiritual qualities and it would be a wise thing if they
were allowed to assume higher positions in social affairs. Then there would
be greater beauty, compassion, love and understanding in all spheres of
life. What we are discussing here is not patriarchal society versus
matriarchal society, but tantra, particularly left hand tantra.
Path of Yogis not Bhogis In tantra, the practice of maithuna is
said to be the easiest way to awaken sushumna, because it involves an act
which most people are already accustomed to. But, frankly speaking, very
few are prepared for this path. Ordinary sexual interaction is not
maithuna. The physical act may be the same, but the background is totally
different. In the relationship between husband and wife, for example, there
is dependency and ownership, but in tantra each partner is independent, one
unto himself. Another difficult thing in tantric sadhana is cultivating the
attitude of passionlessness. The man has to virtually become brahmacharya
in order to free the mind and emotions of sexual thoughts and passion which
normally arise in the presence of a woman. Both partners must be
absolutely purified and controlled internally and externally before they
practise maithuna. This is hard for the ordinary person to comprehend
because for most people, sexual interaction is the result of passion and
physical or emotional attraction, either for progeny or pleasure. It is
only when you are purified that these instinctive urges are absent. This is
why, according to tradition, the path of dakshina marga must be followed
for many years before the path of vama marga can be entered. Then the
interaction of maithuna does not take place for physical gratification. The
purpose is very clear – awakening of sushumna, raising the kundalini energy
from mooladhara chakra, and exploding the unconscious areas of the brain.
If this is not clear when you practice the kriyas and sushumna becomes
active, you will not be able to face the awakening. Your head will get hot
and you will not be able to control the passion and excitement, because you
have not tranquilized your brain. Therefore, in my opinion, only those who
are adepts in yoga qualify for vama marga. This path is not to be used
indiscriminately as a pretext for self-indulgence. It is meant for mature
and serious-minded householder sadhakas, who are evolved, who have been
practicing sadhana to awaken the energy potential and to attain samadhi.
They must utilize this path as a vehicle of awakening, otherwise it becomes
a path of downfall.
