I remember a story but unfortunately not anymore exactly the name of the man that it was about. Someone told me that there was a yoga Guru, a yoga master who gave yoga and also Tantra workshops. My opinion about typical Tantra workshops in the West might already be known through my diary entries. So this man gave Tantra workshops and one day, he got to know that a young student, only 18 years old, got pregnant in his workshop. From him. He, more than 60 years of age, did not wait long, he divorced his wife, also older than 60, and married the girl who was younger than his daughters of first marriage.
As I said, this is not Tantra as it was meant to be. This should not happen in a Tantra workshop. It just shows once more that the word Tantra is being abused. Sometimes I feel that all those teachers for Tantra workshops only search for a possibility to have sex with as many people as they can. They call it Tantra, pure energy, sexual energy and more, but it is not anything of the ancient belief but more like an orgy, a sex party with massages, touching and sex. It is just lust, you will not find any real Tantra in that.
I am very happy today!

This post is so interesting simply because you make these very true statements about yantra and how it should not be abused and I completely agree with you, but then at the same time you write at the end of the post that you area very happy! I want to keep reading simply to discover why it is that you are so very happy! It's almost like a cliff hanger of some sorts.

If people are interested in spiritual subjects they can learn from Gurus. But how can they learn it, when a Guru produces something completely different out of concepts like Tantra? Of course the origin meaning will get lost. It's sad that so many traditions can't survive because of this personal form of abuse :(

What a crazy story! Hopefully this girl did not feel abused or raped by him... but in the end they started a family together! Weird. I really don't think this is true Tantra. Real tantra can involve sexual energy without actual sex!

There is a tantra community in England where they require you to be naked only when guest come to teach the lessons. Sounded interesting.

Yes, this is truth that needs to be told. The concept of Tantra has been terribly abused by false gurus for their bad purposes.

Equality does not mean that you give sexual freedom to women and control, blame, accuse and judge men!
SourceAs a guru, you can be very respected and holy one day but the next day you can be a nobody. It can happen quickly and for no reason at all. It does not take any time for the respect and love of followers to vanish.
SourceEnjoy your uniqueness, enjoy being you!
SourcePeople who blame western culture and women’s clothing for sex crimes in India should take off their shirts and pants, too, because that dress also comes from western culture.
SourceIf you take responsibility for someone else, this person often just relies on you instead of acting himself. This does not help you and it does not help him, either!
SourceCharity means giving, not expecting anything in exchange. Give and Take is business. Only giving is charity.
SourceIf you have practice of meditation, you are able to focus and decide what you want to think of. Through meditation and focus you can not only close the door of your office but also the door of your mind to work related topics in order to truly relax.
SourceHow can gurus who love the material, silver and gold, call themselves Paramahansa? A true Paramahansa is not interested in wealth.
SourcePeople who judge often have an inferiority complex and believe others judge them. If you are in your full love to yourself, you don't need to judge others.
SourceNobody can tell you what you have to believe. Find out yourself what is good and right for you. Trust in your own feelings and listen to your inner voice.
SourceNot afraid of anyone but God' means being afraid of everything!
SourceDon’t manipulate others and don’t let anybody manipulate you. Don’t do anything against your nature and don’t let others lure you into a religious sect under the pretense that they are only serving God, not any religion.
SourceA love relation may only extend for a moment when your eyes meet and share a connection. A split second of realizing that you and the other one share this world. Nothing more.
SourceLove at first sight happens because you have love inside you. Something triggers it, it starts to flow and you fall in love.
SourceThe main factors for a good relationship are that you are physically close and devoted without any ego. If this devotion is not there, they will be far from each other even if they are physically close, sleeping and living in the same room. Then they cannot understand each other and in these cases relationships sometimes break even after a very long time.
SourceSiddhis are not real. Don't be afraid, nobody can do anything to you!
SourceDo you think of meditation as a competition? Whoever can sit in meditation the longest is the winner! That person is closer to enlightenment than all others or has even already reached enlightenment! Those who cannot sit still for even half an hour are beginners, losers, materialists and very non-spiritual people!
SourceDon’t bring business talk everywhere. Stop it, at the latest when you go into the bedroom. No business is allowed there anymore, just love and the relationship of you and your partner.
SourceHow much would Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras 3000 years ago, charge you for becoming his franchisee and using his name and Sutras?
SourceJealousy is just a natural emotion. If you feel jealous, allow it. If you struggle or fight with it, it will irritate you more. You can be jealous, but realize that it is not a grown-up emotion. Realize your feeling, accept it and let it go again. If there was a justified reason for it, express it. If it was not, express it to yourself and then let it go. There is no sense in being upset about the fact that you have this feeling.
