Second part of the series of Knowledge about tantra in which the expert in Tantra Kaula, Anand Rudra introduces us to the tantric universe through his wisdom.
The meaning of Kaula comes from the sanskrit word kula, which is school or family
Formerly the way the community transmitted knowledge was through a school
Let´s say rural style, in which a group of families, a group of
of towns, went to gurukula
The guru was the teacher and the kula was the family, back then everybody used to attend to a series of talks to find what the tantra method was and the method of knowledge
From the practice of gurukula, different methodologies began to manifest in lndia such as Ayurveda, Hinduism, how is hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism as well
Kaula is one of the ancient schools ancient which is not linked to tantric lineage or lineage of knowledge, it is a very magical school because every knowledge is given
It is about a presence in space and time that is generated within the being
It is really pretty that each of us through of these kaula techniques discover inner mastery
You can also develop yourself everything that is a Tantra methodology a Tantra methodology within a basic need, primary You can also develop your internal mastery about everything that all that is represent the tantric method
From a very primitive practice the practice until the highest practice of superconsciousness
Prana is the vital energy that we find outside and inside our body
Some civilizations call it Ki or Chi, and Prana is the vital energy that circulates internally within the body
How can we distinguish normal energy from Prana? For example the breathing we do daily is prana, the food you make and you eat is also Prana, water is Prana
It is what feeds you both the being and the physical body
Prana runs through everything that is the internal space of our body through energy system which we have and that it was discovered in the past
We can locate within our body this system through meridians that we call him nadis, energy vortices also known as chakras then we have the interconnection of these nadis, they are called marmas
There are other energy lines, seduction centers, that are called talas
All these elements create the energetic system that the human being has and is where Prana circulates
The Kaula Tantra manifests through 5 disciplines, one is yoga, another is the breath that is
called pranayamas which is art and control of breathing, then we have meditation, ritualism and sacred sexuality
The first aspect of Pranayamas is really easy to locate within the Tantra system
Everything about the nervous system is controlled through the breathing
If you are able to control your breathing when you eat, the you can control the blood pumping all that is the
the blood pumping from the heart for example to your gender
But you can also expand your sexual energy through breathing and create an orgasm
It is not only on a sexual level that you can interrelate with breathing, but also with meditation
If you slow down the breath inside your body you can reach a deep state of meditation In kaulas we have meditative pranayamas that help to be able to interconnect with your being
Prana is really a tool within Tantra to be able to expand, to be able to meditate, to be able to have sex, to be able to expand consciousness and really is the vital tool within Tantra
We also have meditation, in 2 branches: an active meditation and another static meditation
When you dance when you have sex you can be in a meditative process without becoming what currently is known as meditation
You can be really connected with your being through a dance for example, but you also have non static meditation which is divided into two aspects: one where you stop thinking and you give an interface of not knowing and to be only present and aware and you give your brain a break, as we say, which allows you to be in essence
Then you have the focus of your thoughts
In kaula tantra we use this a lot and the aspect of this type of meditation, is to carry the energy through thought either to your body or to other bodies
It is to focus your thoughts as energy
The third tool is yoga, we usually we think about yoga think about yoga in modern schools like hatha yes
or as ashtanga, but yoga inside the kaula school allows you to incorporate all the energetic processes to your body, it also allows you to generate energy, it allows you to unlock things within your body, but it also allows you to accelerate things within the body
Yoga in kaula is a tool to work with your body I work with your body in three dimensions: physical appearance, the energetic aspect and the spiritual aspect
The other aspect is ritualism
In kaula ritualism can go from a very simple aspect such as brushing your teeth, when you are in front of the mirror and you are looking at yourself and you are brushing your teeth, you can make a ritual of it
When you are with your partner and you begin an intimate approach, you can create a ritual of it
Rituality allows to generate an energy within yourself, within a space or with other people
In kaula we use the rite to be able to interconnect with the three dimensions of the body
And then we have sacred sexuality
In kaula we have two aspects: in kaula we have two aspects: First the intimate space that you create with your partner not only to interconnect with you but be one and merge with your partner and achieve unity of the cosmos
That is something nice and this process we call it maithuna
Maithuna is the sacred sexual union of the couple and it is used through the sacred sexuality
The other side of the kaula which is the most unknown aspects in Tantra It is the use of sexual energy in order to heal the body
Kaula is one of the practices that uses sexuality in order to reach a psycho-emotional healing, psychosexual, including frigidity, issues of anorgasmia, premature ejaculation, some soma that we have or some circumstance that does not allow us to have a full sexuality with ourselves
Kaula interconnects this 5 tools and these tools are interconnected to itself, when you do meditation you don´t stop doing yoga, you don´t stop doing pranayama, you don´t stop doing sacred sexuality
When you do sacred sexuality, you don´t stop doing yoga, you don´t stop doing meditation, or you stop doing pranayama
All these tools are interconnected to each other and that is the aspect and that is the special aspect that kaula has
The ritual allows us interconnect with ourselves but also create an interconnection with superconsciousness in a much faster way
You can do any practice for a ritual, a sacred act
A rite is an act with an intention
So if you in daily life you go and run in the mornings and you make a rite of this, the energy that you can generate, the awareness and presence that you can develop from this ephemeral practice such as running, can take you to interconnect with the superconscious in a much more effective way
Rituality is in the daily life of ourselves and Tantra takes you to a sacred space, to a superconsciousness space already a space of superconsciousness that allows you to interconnect in a that allows you to interconnect in full with yourself and with others
The ritual can go from the conscious and from the subconscious, ritual can awaken in you something magical in you yes
from breaking all ego systems break with everything that is the system of egos that the being has and show yourself how you really are
It can unlock things that we have trapped there, within our own being and from our own mind
Generally when we cannot incorporate some trauma since we are born, an aspect of rituality can lead you to unlock some soma that we have hidden there from the unconscious
Not knowing that really, for example, when you were 2 years old, maybe something happened to you and a ritual can really unlock things that are there and that we do not understand and do not let us be as we are
At the Ayurvedic level, more than 720,000 energy channels have been found
For Tantra we have about 14 nadis that are the most essential and at a simpler level we have 3 energy channels
We have the meridians called nadis
These are lines that carry all the energy in the human body
Apart from the nadis we have the chakra system, they are energetic vortices which are along the spinal column
There are some theories that say we have 25 chakras
At a much simpler level we are going to count 7 chakras that are along the spine and an eighth that is hidden
The Sushumna channel which is your spine has internally three channels: One that is the chindrin and another that is the inner nadi that leads the silver thread which is your soul and that it is located right in the middle of the spinal column
They are conjoined with two other nadis which is Ida and Pingala
Ida is on our left side and Pingala is on our right one
Ida controls all the situation of the feminine, Pingala controls the whole male situation
What I mean with the feminine and the masculine is the polarity of the human being not gender, not sexual either to the sexual
The feminine is the emotional, is the feeling, what is to the feeling, feminine is
the situation to receive, the feminine is about being connected to spirituality
The masculine is the logical, it´s the action, it´s the pragmatic, it´s the aspect of giving yourself with the rest and both are always conjugating within the body, that is why it is very important within Tanta that the energy system is in balance
These meridians help Prana and vital energy can interconnect us more with our masculine and feminine
The first chakra we have is Muladhara also known as the root chakra and it is linked to our origin, this is where the first two cells that gave rise to you as a human are located
It is the chakra that connects us to survival, it also connects you with the power of being of yourself, towards yourself and towards others
It is the first chakra that responds to any sensation, feeling or reasoning of fear or reasoning of freedom too, but it also connects us, but it also connects ourselves to pleasure
The second chakra is Svadhisthana and connects to our endocrine system on a sexual level with our reproductive system and it is the chakra that allows us to expand, allows us to have imagination, it connects us with the sexual and with the virtue of freedom
Then we have the third chakra that is located in the stomach and it´s called Manipura
It is the chakra that connects the basics, the dense with Anahata or with the spiritual, it allows us yes
expand and connect with anything primitive with anything of love
Then we have the fourth chakra which is Anahata and Anahata is about emotions, about love, but it also connects us with the strongest shell that the human being has, which is freedom, the capacity to break with schematics
Anahata is usually linked to love but Anahata is really a chakra that allows us break down the physical body on an emotional level and at the level of sensations
Then we have Vishuddha which is in the throat, Vishuddha is the communication chakra, it interconnects us with the question of thought
To express everything internally express everything intimate but also express ourselves
Vishuddha when well achieved and released is a tool that allows us to interconnect with the great mastery
After having worked with the other chakras
Then we have the Ajna, which is the sixth chakra and it is located in front of
between the eyebrows
Ajna allows us to link to everything beyond the senses we have it allows us to connect with the sixth sense with what goes beyond the supra nature and more than anything it interconnects with that you thought you already knew and that is there that I already knew it and that it is there, It is the one that gives you de facto knowledge
It is the one that gives you de facto knowledge
When you have worked the first 5 chakras, sixth allows you to be interconnected with inner mastery and allows you expand as a human being, we really link it to the supranatura but it is the one that allows the intellect to go beyond itself and it creates that intelligence
The last is Sahasrara chakra, Sahasrara links us to the spiritual and links us to the universal
Once you have worked the other 6 chakras It allows to be in a very high vibration level of being human, allows us to interconnect with the other chakras at any time we want
Chakras are intimately linked to the metabolic system of the human being when you have a psycho-emotional problem you are automatically linked to the chakras on a physical level and at an energy level
That is why Tantra not only goes to aspects of character but Tantra can go through the energy system so you can heal yourself
Apart from the chakras we have the marmas, where the nadis are interconnected
Every marma is interconnected to energy lines that allow us to unlock certain things
Let´s say if you want to control an erection you can go to a marma and from the marma control your erection
Marmas do not only control energy within the human body but they can also activate it
If you in any case, for example have had any situation of frigidity, of frigidity, we can go to marmas that are inside the body and change the pattern a bit between the mental question and the sexual one, only through activating a certain marma
There are some marmas like the Ki point that can control all the vital energy of the human being only through touching there
You can give an orgasm to a person just by massaging them in this marma
Marmas, although they are tiny, can bear large fruits within the tantric system
After the marmas we have the talas, which are a series of points within the body that make a distribution of the pranic energy of the body, and also the erotic and sexual energy A good stimulation of the talas can lead women to a Shakti to an orgasm It can lead men to unblock frustrated wishes and we can manifest sexual energy without actually touching genitals inside the talas
Helping us to bond yes
to all nadis system and all marmas system in a slightly different way
It is a technique that has been passed from mouth to mouth but in it was written within agamic books back then
The agamic books are a compendium like the Vedas in which the secret and mystical knowledge of what is Tantra are written
It must be remembered that Tantra was persecuted within a time when Hinduism took part in politics and societal within India
Well, tantric knowledge had to relegate and so that it could be known they started to write it within these agamic books
The science of kaula has been passed down to modern time through those agamic books which are there and all these techniques, all these rituals are written and both the government of India and some others institutions, have begun to reveal this knowledge and
well
They make Kaula a science which is completely new and dynamic for what Tantra is
In Germany currently there are some institutions that have this knowledge and are developing it at a much more pragmatic level, much more dynamic and according to our time
And part of the Kaula Tantra that is brewing in Europe comes from there
If you go to India you will find some other aspects of kaula which are modern and it has nothing to do with the kaula that we are seeing in this series of videos
Oh well
It is part of the evolution processes of any method, technique or belief system
It is very important to know watch them what kind of Tantra are you learning, where it comes from and how it has developed and make sure that it is good for you
in every aspect regardless of the methodology or of the school
