Sharing Tantra's Secret Knowledge



I have published mantras on the web. I am trying to do everything possible to make information available to people through interactive teaching media. So you have my take on this.

It is true I am taking on the karmas of all those who misuse it. Let me suffer gladly for that.

If I am connected to Goddess, She is taking on the karmas made by Her. Let Her enjoy it.

Rāmānuja went to the top of the roof and shouted the mantra given to him by his guru, who extracted a promise that he would not reveal it to anyone.

My feeling is that information should be made available. Just because it is available, it does not imply that everyone looks at it.

It is in this spirit that books on Paraśurāma Kalpasūtra are published. Don't they contain the decoded mantras? What is the essential difference in publishing it in a book or on the web?

The problem with books was that soundtracks were not there. Interactivity was not there. Now they are, courtesy of the Web. It is a proper auditory transmission from a guru to śiṣya.

How many so-called gurus are actually giving the information in such detail to śiṣyas now? The gurus themselves are just throwing the mantras, not knowing any intricacies.

If our learned gurus don't tell publicly the secrets, all kinds of wrong interpretations go round. The wise shall choose to speak. Otherwise, the unwise have their way.

Look at all the play with tantra in the form of sexual licence. Given that what we are saying is probably less than 0.1% of what is out there, should we not break the silence?

Who does not know about the use of Pañca Makaras? Is it any secret now? We need to direct the people to proper ways of using it by channeling correct information than hiding it.

The times of puritan rejection of disseminating information have to change to prevent damage.

I do not wish to entertain any further correspondence on this subject.

Need I say more?

Love,
Guruji
Śrī Amṛtānanda Nātha Sarasvatī
