\nThis is another opportunity to explain the symbolism of the yet
\nanother<\/b>
\nmisunderstood concept, the Left Handed Fivefold Worship, the Pancha
\nMakara<\/b>
\nPooja.<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nPancha Makara Puja means the fives Ms are used for
\nworshipping Deity.<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nThe pramana is this<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nMadyam Mamsam cha Meenam
\ncha<\/b>
\nMudra Maidhunameva Cha<\/b>
\nEka Pancha Makarasyur<\/b>
\nNaranam Moksha
\nDayaka<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nWine, Meat and Fish<\/b>
\nWith copulation and Yoga Mudra<\/b>
\nThese
\nFive can liberate Man<\/b>
\nThese Five Ms !<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nwhere<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nMadyam –
\nWine<\/b>
\nMamsam – Flesh<\/b>
\nMeenam – Fish<\/b>
\nMudra – A Yogic Pose<\/b>
\nMaidhuna –
\nCopulation<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nWe have said that Sir John Woodroffe was a Sunday lawyer.
\nAfter practising<\/b>
\nTantra, he became a Siddha. The West knew Tantra through him
\n!<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nWhat made him a Siddha Purusha ? The Five Ms !<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nThere is a saying
\nin Latin ” In Vino Veritas ” ( There is truth in Wine ).<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nBacchus’
\nblessings are a treasure<\/b>
\nAnd drinking is the soldier’s pleasure
\n!<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nAlcohol, taken in small quantities is the exciter of the “Yes” function
\nin<\/b>
\nman. It can make man one with Truth. Mudra is a Yogic Pose. Yoga is
\nderived<\/b>
\nfrom the word Yuj which means to unite. Meena means fishes. Mamsa
\nmeans<\/b>
\nflesh. Traditionally, in other systems which are considered divine
\nlike<\/b>
\nYoga, non veg food is eschewed. But not so in Tantra.<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nMaidhuna is
\nCopulation. Sex was considered as Lust in puritan philosophies.<\/b>
\nBut not so in
\nTantra. “Sex is spiritual, it is something that comes out of<\/b>
\nthe depths of
\nyour being ” says Dr Maxwell Maltz, founder of
\nPsycho-<\/b>
\nCybernetics.<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nThese 5 Ms are the five elements which are used
\nby Tantra for Cosmic Union.<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nAtharva Veda has been isolated, as some
\npuritans think that it deals with <\/b>
\nBlack Magic. Anton La Vey, wrote the
\nSatanic Bible and there are many Satanic <\/b>
\nChurches in the West. Tantra is
\npractised everywhere, even in Africa where it is <\/b>
\nknown as Voodoo.<\/b>
\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
\nIn
\nthe West, there are two types of Witchcraft, knows as Alexandrian Witchcraft
\n<\/b><\/div>\n
\nand Dianian Witchcraft. Alex Sanders founded Alexandrian Witchcrat. The
\nword is derived<\/b><\/div>\n
\n from the German word ” Wicca ” which means Wisdom and Witchcraft is the
\ncraft of the Wise. <\/b><\/div>\n
\nThey are all different forms of Tantra.<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nThe Symbolic Meaning behind
\nthe Five Great M’s<\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/b>
\nIt is to be noted that Mamsam ( Flesh ) is symbolic. The Sanksrit Soham
\n<\/b>
\nmeans ‘ I am He ‘. Mamsa means the same Mam ( I am ) and Sah is He. Mamsa is
\n<\/b>
\nnothing but SOHAM reversed ! The Wine referred to here is the Wine of Bliss,
\nthe<\/b><\/div>\n
\nBliss which cometh from Union with the Self. The Copulation referred here
\nis the Divine Copulation, <\/b>the copulation between Purusha and Prakrithi, whose result is the Universe.
\nNo doubt sex is <\/b>the microcosmic representation of Cosmic Union. We must take
\nthe macrocosmic meaning, the <\/b>union of Purusha and Prakriti. Yoga Mudra is a great pose, which can give
\nLiberation.<\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn this sense Tantra becomes sacred and divine. It is the Sacred Art &
\nhence the holiest of all Holy <\/b>Sciences.<\/b>
\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIt is only when we approach the Supreme through His double aspect – double
\nbut inseparable –<\/b><\/div>\n
\nthat the Truth becomes known to the inner experience. The Vedantins have
\ndeveloped the concept<\/b><\/div>\n
\nof Absolute Being ( Sat ). The Chit aspect, the aspect of the Absolute as
\nConsciousness, have been <\/b>developed by the Shakta Tantrics. ( The Absoute is Being, Knowledge and
\nAnanda, Sat Chit Anandam <\/b>Brahma ).Only a blend of both ( Vedanta and Tantra )  can pave the way for
\nIntegral<\/b><\/div>\n
\nKnowledge or Poorna Jnana. <\/b>Vedanta sastra Tantra sastrasya samanvayah ithi Poorna Jnanah<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
