AD, what is your views on Kamasutra? – S.R.

Beloved Shekhar, Many people think so but Kamasutra is not a sex manual .

Remember three aims of ancient Hindu life – dharma, artha & kama –Vatsyayana’s purpose is to set kama, or enjoyment of the senses in a hierarchy. Thus dharma or virtuous living is the highest aim, artha, amassing of wealth is next, and kama is the least of the three.

Do not wonder, I have deliberately left out  ‘Moksha – The complete liberation’ because whatever I am going to talk, that should be “All about you”.. related to you. The question is: Are you interested in Moksha, Nirvana? Don’t lie to yourself…  I know the type of Nirvana you may be looking at is easily available at the local pubs and Discs in Ahmedabad. I wasn’t surprised when someone told that even the name of one such joint is “Nirvana”! So there you get your Nirvana with Mint flabvoured Hookkaa puffs.. Flavoured Nirvana.. (laughs)

I declare that Kamasutra is indispensable for today’s world.

Kamasutra has been whispered among people but NOW is the time to use its teachings. It’s time to learn how this ‘Naked Wisdom’ can be applied in day to day life in a way that helps people enjoy pleasures of life while still being rooted in their divine nature.

When people ask questions related to sex, its not intellectual answer they are looking at. You too are asking me this question to assess if my Master approves of sexuality..  yes I do. I approve it with the final goal in mind.

Everyone desires of enriching, fulfilling sex life. It is in the mind but only methods known to you people are use of alcohol, drugs, pills or at best change of partners. Especially the last option comes from the feeling of “I deserve more.” Some may spell it as “I need variety”. Don’t you? But my ways are different. I would recommend more of you being there, meditativeness, presence. I would want you to deepen your feelings. I would like you to invoke all the senses which are now in this state of slumber and thus you are unable to appreciate and differentiate today from tomorrow. My Kamasutra lessons as you would learn.. are based on invoking your heart and putting your sex center bit upward than your belly. It starts in meditation and culminates in orgasmic bliss. May be with this you would start understanding the statement “Samadhi is 10,000 times deeper, broader and richer experience than your sexual orgasm” and yes you have a choice of achieving it alone (solo) too. Not that I don’t recommend couple experiencing conjugal bliss but before they do so they must have their thinking reoriented, Auras cleansed, attuned and energized. What to talk of this, in fact every joy of life right from relishing the food to appreciating a sunrise one needs to be available in the moment without the baggage of clutter. It must be done away with.. to live life!

As I told you earlier that my beloved consort, Ma Shakti Devpriya is arriving here next month if you too need some deep cleansing register yourself for “Aura Correction and Nadi Cleansing Program” that is coming up next month. In our type of Kamasutra – that we call “The Gateway to the Divine Bliss”, and which is a ‘Solo Technique’; There are regime of emotional reorientation, exercises to improve your sensitivity. The purification to the deepest levels possible. There are therapies and practices to prepare you to experience your own inner Energy’s rising, giving you total immersion in oceanic bliss for days together at your will. Who needs the other? (laughs)

Anyways.. even if you consider the traditional approach there are many issues. The uniqueness of sexual experience is that it is always different every single time. But these subtle, sensuous differences can not be perceived in hectic or unconscious indulgence. Each individual experience has the power to transform you, uplift you only if you have mastered operating through different available centers of experiences. Real Kamasutra is about opening your heart, your senses, letting go of mind. It is about understanding your body energy currents and recognizing your emotional state. Practicing Kamasutra transports you to a state of endless orgasmic pleasure-Bliss!

The poor state of affair is that no one is open to teachings on copulation. All think they are already having post doctoral experience in it (curtsy VSNL for making the internet available.. or should we call pornography made available). All they know is that different poses are means to sexual gratification but what they don’t know and we can teach is that each of these position can help people in releasing their stored emotions, free up their inner space for the energy to flow, improve one’s overall behaviour. Its not about being able to simply switch from one pose to another.. But requires intensive preparation and meditativeness. Apart from recognizing your body type, understanding your energy currents. Then there are more than 100 poses to learn for you… for women too!!

Kamasutra poses are Tantra’s methods of balancing your energies. Each pose has a purpose and helps in releasing particular stored negative emotions. The Frog pose is to be tried if you or your mate is feeling deprived of pampering. But who cares! I teach you to be aware and care..

When Sigmund Freud believed that sex is prime force the external development he wasn’t completely wrong. During my previous talks on Yoga I told you about internal matrix development and that Kundalini power (energy near your sex center) can be translated in to higher form of energies to attain Moksha-The total liberation. Kamasutra is “The” way for most of the people who are yet to learn the relaxation techniques being taught in – Progressive Meditation sessions.

Do not forget that you are sexual by nature. Perversion wouldn’t help. Restrain must come naturally to you. Keep yourself ignited throughout the day and relax by night. No more talks – pure act! Because healthy Sex is better than sexuality in mind – hence I advocate Kamasutra today.

Shivoham!
