USCP: Lighting the Lamp

Om Hrim Rakta Dwaadasha Sakti Yuktaaya Deepa Naathaaya Namah 

Then when we enter the temple, the first thing we do is to light up the lamp. The lamp is the symbol of the guru. The guru, like the lamp removes your ignorance, the darkness. rakta dvadasa rakta means the blood. dvadasa means twelve. sakti yuktaya associated with the twelve powers. The twelve powers are located in the heart center. The heart center has the 12-petalled lotus there. The guru is located in the heart center. Rakta also means the raja guna, the desire for movement, the desire to move the heart. That is the kind of knowledge that the guru gives.  Deepa nathaya namah -  deepa is the light, the lamp. You light the lamp and say the guru is not here, so this is my guru. So you see the invocation of your spiritual guide immediately. You do not think of the guru as the individual, but as the light.

What about the white and the red wicks on the two lamps kept on two sides? White and red are the colors of the semen and blood. The semen is white and the blood is red. Both are sticky things which are very objectionable to the priests. So the ritual prescribed by priests uses symbols for them. But both these substances contain the DNA and RNA codes essential for for creating life. So on one side you have the white wick which symbolizes the semen and on the other side the red wick which symbolizes the blood.

Oil is the symbol of the female orgasmic fluid and ghee is the symbol of semen. That is why we offer ghee into the homam, a fire ritual. The homa kunda is supposed to be the female genital. Into that you offer the seed. Every offering, every act of puja in ritual is suggestive of a release of every tension, an orgasm, called Brahmananda, the Ananda of Brahma, of creation. The word orgasm is not being used in any limited sense. Any release of tension is orgasm. When you are facing a situation where tension is developed, the moment you resolve or release the tension, resolution of a conflict, that is called an orgasm in Tantra.
