Tantra for vim? More than just a whim!
EVER HEARD of the third eye and the fourth nose? Ever stopped the winds of change? Ever tried to become God? If Meena Nanda is to be believed all this is a distinct possibility if you believe and are willing to undertake the strenuous sojourn to the world of Tantra.
"Youth Eternal: Tantra for Vim Vigour and Vitality" is not a treatise by a sage from the Himalayas or one of the multitudes of frauds ready to take you on an ethereal trip. It is the labour of a workingwoman - an IAS allied officer of `89 batch, mother of one and writing with a pseudonym so that her personal experiences don't mix up with her professional life.
"The book is partly based on my own experiences, which started in 1997 and continued for about three years when I realised Samadhi, the superlative state when both pingala and ida i.e., the hot and light channel start harmonising in coexistence. But as all the experiences can't be disclosed to the uninitiated because most people are interested in Tantra out of sheer curiosity and lots of superstitions also abound about this scientific way of attaining enlightenment, I have kept the scope of the book limited to only the beginners."
Basically, the book is an attempt to win mass acceptance for Tantra, which is considered a taboo in our society, by presenting it in harmony with sciences and Vedic scriptures. So to start with, the author questions our breathing style and lays down some facts to prove our potential to suck more oxygen then we actually do. Then she details some asanas to ooze out a soma hormone, which finds mention in Vedas, to realise man's age-old desire to press a full stop on ageing and full throttle on sexual capacity.
But Meena's meaning of sex, ageing and even God is quite different from the worldly mortals. "One may be amused by the stories about a great sage like Durvasa and God Shiva but they are nothing but anger/heat personified. Meena doesn't guarantee anything but assures that if the taxing steps suggested in the book are perfected with devotion, dedication and determination, on a fine morning there are chances that something will pass through your body from base to spine and disperse near your throat and neck, giving you a feeling of orgasmic experience without sex, connecting you to pulsating, shining, vast expanse.
Ever tried the three Ds to help a fellow being to have a relatively easy audience with the One Above?
