QUE ESTRECHA SU MANO: 2014

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesh
Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rituals and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography.

Ganesha has the head of an elephant and a big belly. This statue has four arms, which is common in depictions of Ganesha. He holds his own broken tusk (COLMILLO) in his lower-right hand and holds a delicacy (MANJAR) , which he samples with his trunk (TROMPA) , in his lower-left hand. The motif of Ganesha turning his trunk sharply to his left to taste a sweet in his lower-left hand is a particularly archaic feature. A more primitive statue in one of the Ellora Caves with this general form has been dated to the 7th century. Details of the other hands are difficult to make out on the statue shown. In the standard configuration, Ganesha typically holds an axe (HACHA) or a goad ( AGUIJÓN PARA AZUZAR ELEFANTES) in one upper arm and a pasha (noose= NUDO CORREDIZO, SOGA) in the other upper arm.

5.-TANTRISMO (Y SU SEXO)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantra

Those seeking liberation eschew ( EVITAN , SE ABSTIENEN ) orgasm in favor of a higher form of ecstasy. Several sexual rituals are recommended and practiced, involving elaborate preparatory and purification rites.

Y ENTRA EN JUEGO EL KUNDALINI

The sexual act balances energies in the pranic ida and pingala channels in the bodies of both participants. The sushumna nadi is awakened, and kundalini rises within it. This culminates in samadhi, where the individual personality and identity of each participant is dissolved in cosmic consciousness.

CONCLUSIONES FINALES, SOBRE TALES BOBERÍAS

Modern world

Following these first Tantric presentations, popular authors (such as Joseph Campbell) brought Tantra to the attention of Westerners. It was seen as a "cult of ecstasy", combining sexuality and spirituality to correct Western repressive attitudes towards sex.

As Tantra has become more popular in the West, it has undergone a transformation. For many readers Tantra is synonymous with "spiritual sex" or "sacred sexuality," a belief that sex should be recognized as a sacred act capable of elevating its participants to a higher spiritual plane. Although Neotantra uses many concepts and terminology of Indian Tantra, it often omits one (or more) of the following: reliance on guruparampara (the guidance of a guru), meditation and moral and ritual rules of conduct.

According to author and critic of religion and politics Hugh Urban:

Since at least the time of Agehananda Bharati, most Western scholars have been severely critical of these new forms of pop Tantra. This "California Tantra" asGeorg Feuerstein calls it, is "based on a profound misunderstanding of the Tantric path. Their main error is to confuse Tantric bliss... with ordinary orgasmic pleasure.

Urban says he does not consider this "wrong" or "false", but "simply a different interpretation for a specific historical situation."
