Lesson 20 - New Tantra “Links” section

From: Yogani
Date: Tue Mar 23, 2004 5:47pm

New Members: It is recommended you read from the beginning of this tantra yoga archive, as previous lessons are prerequisite to this one. The first lesson is, "What is tantra yoga?"


You may have noticed that the links section was turned on here in the tantra group recently. It was done shortly after the now fast growing yoga links section was started in the main group. But nothing has been put in the tantra links section, until now.

Some leading tantra resources, authors, schools, and teachers' links have now been posted, and more will be added over time. If you have any favorite tantra links you'd like to suggest for posting, please submit them by email.

For now, I have decided not to post links relating to networking for finding partners for sacred sex and divine intimacy, or sites that are predominantly sexually explicit. There are many other places where these can be found. The goal in this group is to focus on education in tantra, particularly as it pertains to supplementing an overall system of advanced yoga practices aiming at the enlightenment of the practitioner.

Though the people and organizations listed are believed to have high standards in their work, there is the tendency even from the best teachers to "give the customers what they want," which is bigger and longer orgasms. As you know from the lessons here, that is not a primary objective to be met on the road to enlightenment. Yet, it remains a preoccupation with many of us.

Recognizing that this tendency exists, I will go ahead and list the best tantra teachers and resources we can come up with. Having the links there will help you develop perspective on the AdvancedYogaPractices tantra lessons in relation to different approaches and practices. The growing links section in the main group has certainly brought a lot of people out of the woodwork in a positive way. We are all more comfortable with something when we can compare it with other similar things. It is good science too, and I am for that.

Keep in mind that posted links are not endorsements, only information for you to consider as you travel along your chosen path.

The guru is in you.
