Bhairava part -ii (Dogs and Bhairava)

Image
Mahasiddha Dattatreya with dogs. Mahasiddha Dattatreya is also from the kaula tantric lineage. Bhairava is a fierce warrior god. The dogs are the vahana of Bhairava. To understand the attributes of Bhairava, one can decipher it by analyzing the traits and attributes of a dog. Let us first analyze some attributes and traits of a dog. Dog are humans best friend. Dogs are great companions and accomplices. They give a good company. It is very faithful towards its master. It barks to the whole world but it wags its tail to its master. The dog never barks to its master. Even if it does, it is non aggressive. No matter how much you beat it, how much you scold it, punish it, it always wags its tail to its master. For instance: In the American  film Hachi, the dog always accompanies its master Richard Gere to the train station and stays there until the master arrives and they return home. Oneday Richard Gere dies, he doesn't return the dog then waits on the train station and doesn't ret...

Mahakali

Image
Mahakali is the goddess which every tantric fraternity knows. A tantric who knows not What Mahakali is, he/she has then missed the vital aspect of the whole tantra itself. Basically the whole tantra is divided into Shiva/Shakti, 10 mahavidyas, 64 yoginis, asta matrika and other gods and goddesses. Mahakali is the top most mahavidya. She is the eldest Mahavidya out of all 10 mahavidyas. Her Shiva is Mahakala. The shakti of Mahakala is Mahakali herself. She is such revered because she is even more powerful then Mahakala himself. There is the famous picture depicted where She stands on top of Mahakala. Symbolically, if we were to separate the shakti aspect from the Mahakala Shiva, he becomes Shava. Mahakali is the life of Shiva. Secondly, Shiva is the ultimate lord. He resides in every one in the form of tatwa, known as "Shiv tatwa". She is ultimate goddess who can destroy the Shiva tatwa too. She is of such great power. Even Shiva is helpless infront of her. Lets have a more de...

Rules and Regulations of Kaulantak Peeth

Image
We are proud Bhairavas and Bhairavi's who have special allegiance to the tantric Kaula lineage, the utmost lineage and sect out of all the lineage and sects present in the Himalaya. The legacy of the Kaulas starts right from Lord Shiva, it then passes to the great Gurumandala who are the torch bearers of the  Kaula lineage and they in return have passed down the legacy and then handed down the torch and legacy to Maha Kaula Shiromani, Kaulantak Peethadeshwar  "His Holiness Mahayogi Satyendra Nath Ji Maharaj". His Holiness is the head of all the Kaulas present in this world. Since,"Kulika is Shiva themselves". His Holiness is Mahakulika, the head of all Kulas so he is the Mah Shiva or the great Rudra himself. This is for the reason he is also popularly known as "Ishputra" meaning "the son of Isha". Since in our tantric lexicons, "Isha" means Rudra or Shiva, so he is also known as "the son of Shiva". The son and the father a...

Ishputra

"Ishputra" means the "son of Isha". In Kaulantak Peeth tradition "Isha" means Ishwara. Ishwara means Rudra. Rudra means the first Shiva. From him all other Shiva emerge, and all other Shiva is the reflection of the Shiva. Just like in "Devi Mahatmyam", Devi says "striya samasta  sakala  jagatsu"  which literally means "All women in his world have the attributes of Devi. All women are the manifestation of  Devi Bhagawati.". Similarly all Shiva in this world are the one and the same Rudra. Akshobhya Shiva, Kabanda Shiva, Sada Shiva are all the manifestation of the same Shiva Rudra. "Ishputra" literally means "Son of Shiva". "Ishputra" is a spiritual title. The title is not easily available, the title cannot be bought in Kashi and Haridwara, nor the title is ISO certified by spiritual institution, the title has to be earned and it takes a whole cycles of rebirth and reincarnation to attain and mainta...

A visit to Lo Manthang, Upper Mustang with Ishputra and Priya Ma.- 1

Image
Recently, Ishputra and Priya Ma visited Nepal for a brief journey to Upper Mustang valley. It was the scenery and the spiritual touch of the Himalaya that Ishputra set his holy feet in this dry land. The Bhairava's and Bhairavi's who are connected with  Kaulantak Peeth  tradition very well know the fact that soon a sermon series of Ishputra's "GYANA GANGA" will be aired at  Newslivenow   channel. It is my opinion, the series is going to be a big surprise to all the Bhairava's and Bhairavi's of Kaulantak Peeth. The content, the breath taking view, the scenery and the topic of the series is mind blowing. Viewers would surely love it. The first episode of the series would start from the Upper Mustang valley. His Holiness has reached as far as Korala Tibet border for the episode. Viewers surely will get the glimpse of how Upper Mustang looks like and why has the great His Holiness chosen this land to start the series. Ishputra and Priya Ma meditating and behin...

Maha Yogi Satyendra Nath Ji Maharaj: A glimpse of my experiences

Image
Before i even start eulogizing  the grate tantric tradition of the Himalayas, the Yogini Kaula tradition, I would like to pay my homage to the venerable reverend, His Holiness Kaulantak Peethadeshwar Mahayogi Satyendra Nath ji maharaj who is the abode of the timeless eternal Hindu religion and practices. He is the walking, talking encyclopedia of Hinduism. His domain of knowledge extends and encompasses the various parts of Hindu's lifestyle, from Tantra, Mantra to Yoga, Karmakanda (rituals) to Ayurveda. He has the full knowledge of the 64 art forms as mentioned in the scriptures and he is the current head i.e Peethadeshwar of the Kaulantak Peeth as mentioned in the last post and also the current head of Panchapeeth which in spiritual realm means the whole world, as per the gurumandalas, the whole world were divided into five peeths, roughly like the five continensts in historic periods. If there is one mention that makes His holiness and we all Bhairav/Bhairavi incomplete is Mahag...
