  • Tantra
    Genuine knowledge about the ancient tradition of tantra is very rare today.
    Many people have an opinion about tantra – but very few know what tantra actually is! Thus there are many misunderstandings about Tantra, the most common one being that it is just a set of erotic exercises.

    Tantra is a revolutionary approach to life that offers you the chance to live life with intensity and consciousness. With tantra you go through life by saying “yes”.

    Tantra is the science of inclusion and acceptance. The reason why tantra in contemporary times is known mainly as a tool for improving the erotic life is that we today are having big difficulties accepting and including sexuality. Therefore we go from one extreme to the other. From frigidity to perversity. Tantra discovers the middle way – both  in sexuality and in life itself.

    Yoga and Tantra form the Indian spiritual tradition, a foundation deeply connected to universal philosophies.  Much has been written and discussed regarding these studies, but due to their profoundness and hidden symbolism they remain opaque.  A secret throughout the centuries, Tantra remains diffuse, mysterious and puzzling yet constantly present in the diversity of yoga techniques, especially in its Tibetan forms.  With purposeful investigation, it presents a genuine science of man where cosmic forces mingle with physiology, psychology, magic and spiritualism. Tantra offers a practical, multi-leveled vision of the human being, a unified theory that explains the most intimate aspects of man's behavior which have evaded current research.  A detailed, sincere study and practice of Tantra would contribute to the enrichment of contemporary science and psychology in a manner not as yet conceived.
     
    Tantrism recognizes in Kundalini the source of a mysterious energy - an energy still not properly defined by modern science but of paramount importance for a complete spiritual emancipation.
    In Tantra, sexual union is one of the possibilities offered to man and woman to concentrate and direct the consciousness's activity toward the Supreme Being. Due to the enormous intensity of this union, the consciousness of both partners develops and fuses, at the beginning between themselves and later with the Cosmic Consciousness. The indescribable beatitude then felt embraces all things and beings. All that still subsists is a never-ending thirst for unity, only a Lover and a Loved-one.

    Tantra is a genuine and exceptional form of yoga which puts sexuality in its right place, recreating the missing spiritual dimension of the sexual experience. This practice expands the human consciousness to the greatest extent and considerably enriches the knowledge of Man and the Universe. At the same time, through the surprising links established among apparently heterogenous phenomena and scientific facts, Tantra opens the road toward infinite horizons, where many extraordinary discoveries wait for the tireless practitioner.

    What is Yoga?

    by Gregorian Bivolaru

    Yoga is an extremely complex spiritual tradition, having a history older than five thousand years.
    It possesses a very rich and extensive literature.

    Yoga is what we traditionally call "the knowledge of liberation". We all seek, consciously or not, to rise above the limited notion of what we are. More exactly, we seek to rise above what we usually think we are. Generally, we identify ourselves with our body, our mind, with our possessions or relationships, bringing all this together in what we normally call "my life". These mental habits do not contain anything but shadows of the truth inside ourselves, and they bury us more deeply in ignorance .

    Yoga offers a path for deep introspection with the goal as Truth. We all desire to know ourselves, at least to some extent, but is this not an illusion? If we knew at least 50% of ourselves, do you think we would suffer due to work and family problems? On the contrary, we would find out that we are immortal; we are superconscious and omnipotent beings; and we would find the source of eternal happiness.

    Genuine Yoga implies confrontation with the fascinating mysteries regarding the nature of our microcosmic self. It deals with the eternal questions: Why was I born? Where do I come from? What do I live for? What is going to happen to me after I die? Who am I actually?
    Yoga confers inner freedom and the understanding of the fact that everything is possible, though not all is allowed. Being liable to some unchangable laws, as human beings we all feel limited and impotent when faced with the difficulties of life. Yoga induces the power and energy to handle these challenges in life. Moreover, Yoga enables us to overcome the human condition and to reveal our divine nature, the Divine Self within (Jivatman).

    Yoga is a science of immortality.It contains the methods for becoming fully aware of the mysterious aspects of being human. It allows for the employment of all the hidden potentialities within ourselves, for elimination of limitations due to ego, for deepening of self-knowledge; and reaching immortality.

    Yoga aims to gain direct, immediate knowledge of ultimate truth regarding man, existence, and the Universe.

    Yoga leads to bliss (samadhi). Although this word exists and is common in every language, the word ''samadhi'' denotes a state accessible to only a small number of people. Experiencing this bliss means to be in full resonance with the beneficial energies of the Universe. By reaching the state of samadhi or full bliss, the yogi gets confirmation of ''completion''. This is where the ineffable fusion occurs between man''s ultimate essence and the Supreme Macrocosmic Universal essence, God.

  • Relationships and spirituality
    The greatest hunger of the modern world is the hunger for love. Yet, few are those who are willing to love. That is why, the one who loves, who manifests love actively, becomes a magnet that attracts the ones around him because he offers or radiates infinite love, which all the others desire, in a more or less conscious way. Therefore, first of all we have to open ourselves to love and then to attract the lover we are waiting for. This will become a priceless divine gift, magnetically attracted by the love we constantly radiate.

  • Master-disciple relationship
    A fundamental aspect of any spiritual path is the Master. Today the relation of Master-Disciple is one of the most controversial issues, and many people even those involved with self-development and spiritual transformation do not really understand one of the most miraculous and unique relationships which can exist between two human beings. For who is the Master? Or what is a Master? Natha.net presents a range of the most profound and awakening texts on the Master-Disciple relationship. As usual our approach will be a combination of inspired scriptures from the ancient spiritual traditions as well as articles and excerpts from books written by modern authors. We wish you all a wonderful experience as well as profound inner revelations.

  • Meditation

    Meditation is often misunderstood to be a method for self inquiry, deeper understanding or inner peace. Is that so?
    Letting yourselves absorb into this extraordinary phenomenon might lead you to a much more complex and profound understanding.
    If we consult the few wise people who either inhabited or still inhabit this planet who have been gifted with a genuine and ultimate experience of meditation, they all agree on one thing:
     
    Meditation is not a human-invented technique for relaxing the mind and the body.
    It is a natural state, a universal phenomenon, an enlivened human potential, where you obtain a direct perception of Reality. What ever you are doing in and with your life, meditation is something which can successfully help you to reach what you aim at in a harmonious and sublime way.

    For this reason we have decided to share with our readers some fascinating facts about meditation that have been almost completely ignored until now.

    Even though you might as well find some of these texts in a public library, they are secret first of all because each one of them has been carefully considered and chosen by people who themselves have had profound experiences in meditation, and therefore have been able to recognize - by applying the principle of resonance – genuine perceptions of the state of meditation.


    We invite you to dive into this fascinating faculty of Divine Creation, and to meditate on it until it sinks deep into your subconscious realm of intuitive understanding.

    You will also be able to read about what famous ancient masters, as well as modern masters and advanced students, have experienced in deep states of meditation.

    Because that is the purpose of any study after all: to put it into effect within our own lives, or as Swami Shivananda described the process of any spiritual realisation with great precision: Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realise.

    Yours kindly
