Kamakhya told Amrita: "In the olden days enjoying sex was a proper aim
of life and so Kama was sacred. Kama was the God of Love, same as Siva, with
Rati, myself, happiness of sexual union, being his wife. Use of erotic rituals
used to be performed to pleasure me. They are carved in all sacred temples.
Eros is pro-life. It is the fountain of semen, blood, milk and white and pink
light which sustains passion, joy, creativity, power and love. This method of
worship is available to every one. It is the easy path to me. My name means sex
desire. I am the source of all life.
"There are many temples for me which are following Dakshinachara
available only to elite Brahmins. But I am life in every one, not only the
elite. I love fun, I am very sexual, I am pro-life. So I am in everyone as
erotic desire. I am accessible to everyone who has passion for sex. I am there
in Deva Dasis, and prostitutes also. Every woman, no matter what her state in
life is, has the right to be worshipped. She only has to ask for it as I did to
you. Make sure that Her decency is not violated. No one should be forced,
compelled or bribed into the puja. Only volunteering adults may willingly and
joyously participate in my erotic rituals called chakra pujas without any sense
of shame. The female genital is my temple. I should be worshipped there.
"How should the worship be done? I accept all enjoyments as worship.
Enjoyment doesn't hurt anyone. My puja can be done simply, or elaborately. You
may worship me through any consenting woman thus: Inviting, offering a seat,
washing hands, offering water and milk to drink, sensual massage with herbal
oils followed by bath, anointing all body parts with perfumes, offering lovely
clothes, makeup, ornaments, scented flowers and decorations to every part of
the body, giving delicacies to eat, and waving lights. Then I will bless you
through the woman receiving the puja to fulfill all your desires if they
involve no injury to any one. All the time the puja is going on, any potent
mantras like the thousand names of any Goddess should be recited or heard.
"I have blessed the world. So there should be an orgy of celebration,
with singing and dancing and fine arts. I will put life into all your arts.
"Such pujas done to women are the core of bhakti to me. They empower
the women receiving the puja to become divine. I am pleased by such pujas.
Inhibitions, or sense of shame are creations of ego; sense of I and mine. At
least for the duration of puja, people should let go of them in the temples
here and everywhere.
"There is no restriction really that only husbands should worship
their wives. What was the relationship between you and your wife before
marriage? Any one could have been your spouse, right? If such restriction were
to be placed, puja would never happen with real bhakti. What is puja without bhakti?
Husbands may not like their women to become free, to be liberated. If only
husbands are allowed to do puja to their wives and they are unwilling to do it,
or the wives don't like to be worshipped by others because tradition goes
against it, how can they ever receive the adoration and love they deserve?
Should they then miss the opportunity to be adored at least once in their life
time to be a Goddess? In this age, billions of women need to become free of
domination from bondage and aggression. You need a society free from male AND
female domination. How this can happen?
"I know in this age of repression of women, worship is considered
obscene. Why can't you make love in temples like in olden days? Who teaches you
the fine arts of satisfying the partner if both partners are ignorant? Must you
learn from dull, repetitive pornographic films and books secretly with a
feeling of sin? Why did the fine arts of erotic rituals involving
transformation of lust to love become wrong and became black magic? What kind
of legal norms are you having if it doesn't object to fighting, injuring and
rape being shown publicly while love play is forbidden? How come you have
become so anti-life and pro-death? Did your Vedas or Shastras prescribe
violence as a purushartha? Can guns and weapons feed or educate a poor child,
or heal a single suffering person?
"Did you know that Shiva's emblem is Ananda Bhairava, the unhooded
penis Linga, that my temple is the life giving womb Garbha, that Ganapathi
stands at the G-spot, that Kundalini- Kumara's seat is the clitoris, and that
the vehicle of Shiva is the testes? Did you know that flowers are the genitals
of trees, holy ashes represents semen and kumkum the menstrual flow? Did you
know that love play is my puja? Why should you be ashamed of your rich culture
which is pro-life and sexy?
"Throw away your inhibitions, do what you feel is right openly. Change
your laws, it is high time. Have one law for every one; treat all equally. Make
violence, weapons of mass destruction, illegal and unlawful. Divert the
resources from creating mass destruction to educate, empower and enrich the
lives of people. You have my blessings. Nudity is the symbol of having nothing
to hide, being open to being loved. Let people be nude in the temples if they
so wish. And be worshipped like that. The whole of nature is nude except you
silly humans. Move into a world of love and light, not alienation and darkness.
Allow yourselves to enjoy. Enjoyment is virtue. Misery is sin.
"For worship to yield fruit, some form of energy exchange has to be
there. The best form is service. The person being empowered should repay the
debt through some form of service to the Goddess temple. The best service is to
convince people that loving is empowering, that puja really empowers women and
men by making them Goddesses and Gods, who are able to create a new world order
of love.
"It is Ok to be nude. It is Ok to have fun with a willing partner. It
is Ok to give a ritual bath to a woman. It is Ok to see people enjoying good
sex. Temples are indeed the places for promoting social intercourse and
empowerment. It is Ok to know that ejaculation and orgasm can be and are
different. It is Ok to practice from a learned Guru the fine arts of
worshipping Goddess. "If people
object to these values, they may go to another place. There is no compulsion to
come here. There is no adversity that will come to them if they don't come
here. Let people exercise their choice.
"Initially people will listen but shake their heads in disbelief. They
will leer, they will say it is nonsense, they will say this will destroy
culture and civilized behavior. That is normal, because that is how they have
been programmed by society. When entire population of the world want sex and
like to show it and see it at least in their privacy, how can it be abnormal?
As the society realizes the roots of its ills, more and more people will start
accepting these ways. It is not your job to convince people. They will have to
convince themselves, shed their inhibitions for enjoyments. There is more hope
with the younger generation than old people with set attitudes. You must reach
out to adolescents, and explain the concepts of sexual fulfillment. There is
more hope with villagers who are in tune with nature than urbanites. So I have
chosen this rural setting.
"Every one tells you, what will other people think? How will you be
judged? How will it reflect on the society? They will try to imprison you,
poison you, kill you. Don't ever worry about that. There is no such thing as
death. You are already in a life long prison called your body, mind and ego.
One more prison around it doesn't matter. If you know how to get out of the
prison of your body, no prison can hold you. Let people judge you as they think
fit. All that matters is are you convinced "this is the way"? Make
information available to them. You tell people, but don't compel them. People
will bring bouquets and brickbats. You don't have to change. Be firm in your
belief. It is not even belief. A fact can't be reduced to belief. You don't
have to believe in something you know first hand to be true. I will bring the
right people to you.
"I have sent many many people before you. I will keep sending more. I
am the way. I am the gate of life, the maker of life, the yoni, the source of
life."
Yes, these are the words that Goddess spoke to Amrita. Take it or leave it.
Think it is true or false. It doesn't matter. Come here if you like. Don't come
if you don't like. Nobody compels you. Only try to see for yourself. Don't
blindly accept what others say.
