“Here, there are two principles. The manifest and the Unmanifest, both existing together simultaneously. The Lord, the Ultimate, the Absolute, is the unity of these two principles. Thus, the Ultimate Lord is the great paradox which contains all the opposites. The formed, the unformed, the born, the unborn, everything yet nothing, male yet female.”

  —Deepa Kodikal, Ganesha the Ultimate: Friend, Protector, Guide, ch. 7 “Forms of Worship”

ONE LOVE COMING2GETHERNESS

“If there’s war between the sexes

Then there will be no people left.”

—Joe Jackson, “Real Men”

“Nothing can come into being or endure without the power

of both Shiva and Shakti.

Shakti is nothing but Shiva looked upon in a feminine form.

Shiva is similarly nothing but Shakti in masculine form.

Shiva holds the power of Shakti

and Shakti rests upon the

being of Shiva.”

—David Frawley, Shiva: The Lord of Yoga, Part III.

“Shiva and Shakti”

“On the plane of symbolism, the Soul of things somehow became associated with the manly form, and the manifested Energy (Nature, as we call it) with that of woman and motherhood. In this conception will be noted the deliberate statement that God and Nature are necessary to each other as the complementary manifestations of One, just as we find in the male and female together, Humanity. That is to say, Nature itself is God, as truly as [is] Nature’s Soul.”

—Sister Nivedita, Kali the Mother, “The Vision of Śiva”, p. 26

“Shakti, Shiva’s power, His consort…Emerging from Her repose on Shiva’s lap, from the intimate oneness of ‘non-being’, She stretches and dances in ecstasy in celebration of ‘being’, swells and expands in rapturous joy, blooms and fructifies in felicity and blessedness, and then, suddenly, pulled by the pain of separation from Shiva, rushes back in the sweet embrace of the melting oneness with Shiva…This is when Laya (a stillness before dissolution) happens, followed by Pralaya (dissolution), and then, after touching base as it were, again an emergence of the celebration of being. Another process of Creation.”

—Deepa Kodikal, Ganesha The Ultimate: Friend, Protector, Guide, ch. 6

EVADAH:

Taking SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK&ROLL

out of Secular Culture

Putting them back where they belong

in the REALigion of Our Archaic Ancestors

“In the mysteries of the LINGAM-YONI is found the key to all power.”

—Samael Aun Weor, Secret of the Golden Blossom, Ch. 1

बिन्दुः शिवो रजः शक्तिर्   बिन्दुम् इन्दू रजो रविः।

उभयोः सङ्गमाद् एव प्राप्यते परमं पदम् ॥७४॥

Binduḥ Śivo rajaḥ Śaktir     Bindum Indū rajo Raviḥ

Ubhayaoḥ saṅgamād eva     Prāpyate paramaṁ padam (74)

The drop (of seed) is Lord Shiva & the red fluid is Lady Shakti.

The drop is the Moon & the fluid is the Sun.

One achieves the Supreme State through their union together.

— Goraksha Saṁhitā, I. 74

Cf. Dhyāna-Bindūpanishad, 88b-89a

“The operation of the opening and closing

        of the Gate of Origin performs

        the Mystical Intercourse of the universe.

This Mystical Intercourse brings forth all things

         from the unseen sphere into the realm of the manifest.

The Mystical Intercourse of yin [Yoni] and yang [Linga]

         is the root of universal life.

The subtle, gentle movement of the interplay

         Between yin and yang never ceases.

Its creativity and usefulness are boundless.”

—Hua-Ching Ni, Hua Hu Ching of Lao Tzu, ch. 39

 “Sex has been a problem to many, though a natural function in life. It plays a most important part in the unfoldment of one’s inner nature to the realization of your real Self.”

—Gurudeva (Mahāṛisi Śivāya Subramuniyaswāmī), Merging with Śiva, “Cognizantibility”, Section 2 “The Basic Laws of Transmutation”

ENTHEOGENS: DRUGS OF DIVINITY

“Since time immemorial we have used plant substances to help us recognize the higher frequencies of knowledge.”

“We psychedelics must become more familiar with the essence and structure of consciousness, because it is out of consciousness we come and it is to consciousness we return.

         Gañjā is jñāna yoga…you are a little bit abstracted from sensory experience. It gives you room to move your psyche about.”

—Gaṇeś Bābā, quoted in Eve Baumohl Neuhaus, The Crazy Wisdom of Ganesh Baba, ch. 10, p. 120

“The use of psychedelic substances has been traditional in some Tantra and Yoga schools for several thousand years…Patanjali lists ‘Aushadhi,; or drugs, as one of the legitimate means by which Samadhi is attained.”

—Dr. John Mumford (Swāmī Ānandakapila), Ecstasy through Tantra, pp. 113-114

“Shiva-Aushadishvara is the lord of herbs and consciousness-changing drugs. Hemp (Cannabis) and thorn-apple are his favorites. He is the only god of the entire pantheon who is constantly ‘high’. In many folk-tales (purāṇas) he appears as a ‘lord of fools’ (Bholenāth) who is easy to please, who can’t say no, and who often gets into trouble because of his habit of getting stoned… Shiva the original hippie.”

—Wolf-Dieter Storl, Ph.D., Shiva: The Wild God of Power and Ecstasy, ch. 13

“It should be known that Shiva is Aushadishvara, the lord of herbs and drugs. Knowingly, he winks his eye at the hippy and the ganja-smoking Rastafarian who, with dreadlocks and easy-going lifestyle, looks like an African version of the Shiva sadhu.”

—Wolf-Dieter Storl, Ph.D., Shiva: The Wild God of Power and Ecstasy, ch. 1, p. 14

“Many groups, including the Anand Akhara [Nāga Bābās], consider marijuana and other entheogens the gift of the greatest of gods, Shiva.”—Eve Baumohl Neuhaus, The Crazy Wisdom of Ganesh Baba, ch. 1

“All trees are forms of Shiva and reflect his ascending energy….

Five-pointed flowers like dhatura are especially sacred to Shiva”

—David Frawley, Shiva: The Lord of Yoga, Part III.

[These five points represent Lord Śiva’s five ‘heads’, His primordial Powers (Śaktis), to wit, Obfuscation, Creation, Preservation, Devastation, and Revelation.

—RĀJ ṚiSHI]

“Shiva’s distance from all things socially appropriate is reinforced by what is offered to him in temple rituals. He is offered flowers and fruit of the poisonous plant dhatura, which is never grown in any house. His favourite drink and smoke is made from the leaves and flowers of Cannabis Indica, a narcotic that is considered illegal by most governments around the world.”

—Devdutt Pattanaik, 7 Secrets of Shiva, ch. 4 “Bholenath’s Secret”

“Aghoris always worship Shiva, Who loves intoxicants. This has a dual purpose-effect. Not only does the Aghori please Shiva by offering Him the intoxicant, but the very act of taking the intoxicant helps the Aghori self-identify with Shiva, since permanent intoxication is one facet of Shiva’s personality. Shiva is intoxicated with Samādhi-consciousness. We have to work up to His level gradually.”

—Vimalānanda quoted in Robert E. Svoboda, Aghora: At the Left Hand of God, ch. 6

“Ganjā is the name given to the better quality of the hemp flowers…The holy men and women, the yoginis, may indulge in smoking this herb as much as they want to, for having broken all social bonds of family, religion, or caste, they no longer belong to the world, but entirely to Shiva….Sadhus and sadhvīs (female sādhus)…no longer live in the world of mortals. As they wander from one holy place to the next, they live in ‘dream time’…The chillum accompanies their journey through a ‘mythological’ universe.”

—Wolf-Dieter Storl, Ph.D., Shiva: The Wild God of Power and Ecstasy, ch. 13

“Smoking gañjā with Ganesh Baba was always about going deeper. We often meditated together when we were very high. Rather than letting us relax into a sleep state, Baba expected us to sit up straight, breathe consciously, and work our brains.”

— Eve Baumohl Neuhaus, The Crazy Wisdom of Ganesh Baba, ch. 10 “ΨΔ

Once a Psychedelic, Always a Psychedelic”, p. 118

“Since time immemorial we have used plant substances to help us recognize the higher frequencies of knowledge….We psychedelics must become more familiar with the essence and structure of consciousness, because it is out of consciousness we come and it is to consciousness we return.

Gañjā is jñāna yoga…you are a little bit abstracted from sensory experience. It gives you room to move your psyche about.”

—Gaṇeś Bābā, quoted in Eve Baumohl Neuhaus, The Crazy Wisdom of Ganesh Baba, ch. 10, “ΨΔ: Once a Psychedelic, Always a Psychedelic”,  p. 120

HOLY ROCK & ROLL

“When we Aghoris use thrills, intoxicants, and sex we use them to go beyond the body. It is the same way with music…Music is vibration, just like mantra. You can use it to benefit your sādhana. Any music will work, if it has a nice melody and good rhythm…I will even listen to some rock music…Some of our bigoted Indians say, ‘Only Indian music can make your mind more meditative,' but that is all bull. It is true that our Indian rhythms are far more advanced in complexity than are the Western ones, and our tunes are much more intricate, but there is something about Western music which makes it particularly useful for getting into certain frames of mind.”

—Vimalānanda quoted in Robert E. Svoboda, Aghora: At the Left Hand of God, ch. 6

“These fools who will not sing or dance, mad with God’s name, will never attain God.”

—Śrī Rāmakṛishṇa Paramahaṁsa quoted in The Gospel of Śrī Rāmakṛishṇa, Friday, 11 March, 1883 entry

EVADAH: BACKFORTH TO EARTH-UR!

“The holistic way of life practiced by the ancient sages incorporated body, mind and spirit as a whole in all activities. Their clothing, diet and dwellings were in accord with nature. They relied on their limbs for transportation. Their education was broad and comprehensive; it did not emphasize one element of their being while neglecting the others. They did not seek out special activities for recreation, their work and their recreation were one and the same. Their forms of exercise developed not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well through the harmonization of their internal energies. Their music functioned as a bridge of communication between mind and spirit and was not just an emotional release. Their leaders were chosen because they were outstanding models of virtue, not for their financial or military capabilities. Philosophy, science and spiritual practice were incoporated as one whole.”—Hua-Ching Ni, Hua Hu Ching of Lao Tzu, ch. 43

“Śiva wears a tiger skin, symbol of nature’s power”

—Gurudeva (Mahāṛishi Śivāya Subramuniyaswāmī), Dancing with Śiva, p. xxxv

“Is it any wonder that a repressed, over-civilized humankind, thorougly out of harmony with its basic nature, is fascinated by a figure such as Tarzan, Lord of the Apes?...In him we meet again the archetype of Shiva as Pashupati, lord of the animals. Wih his mistress, the goddess Parvati, or at times alone, clad only in a tiger skin, unkempt and unburdened by civilization, he roams the wilderness and jungles and hears the stories of all creatures.”

—Wolf-Dieter Storl, Ph.D., Shiva: The Wild God of Power and Ecstasy, ch. 1, p. 14

Śrī Śrī Ārdhanārīśvara Chaturdaśa-pāda-Stotra

Very Illustrious Sonnet for Our Half-Lord Half-Lady

by RAJ RiSHI The Reverend Soma-Rudra Dās Gaṇu

Of Goddess-God I sing the Body eclectic—

Firm male right half linked with soft female left side,

Our Lord’s and Lady’s idols meld, allied

In synergistic image asymmetric:

Three-eyed Yogī with Empress even-eyed

To consummate original urge orectic

Are fully merged, resolving dialectic

Divides by Love’s Divine Form unified,

Resisting reason’s razor analytic

As single Yang-Yin sign connecting sexes,

Long Liṅga joins lush Yoni at loins’ nexus.

Hail, lunar-solar Self hermaphroditic,

Ashen Śiva sheathed in Śakti’s fiery shine

As the white bull blissfully lies with the red lion.

Very Illustrious Villanelle for Ārdhanārīśvara

 by RAJ RiSHI The Reverend Soma-Rudra Dās Gaṇu

Hail, Lord and Lady in one body bound—

Feel Śakti spark in Liṅga spine aligned:

Her shapely Figure fused with His spacious Ground.

Lord Śiva’s dressed in hides while Śakti’s gowned,

Both savage Sage and cultured Queen combined,

Hail, Lord and Lady in one body bound!

Join Śakti’s play in Nature’s cycling round

With Śiva’s peace of Spirit’s static mind:

Her shapely Figure fused with His spacious Ground.

In sexes’ syzygy all strife’s atoned:

White Bhole and swart Kālī one Love entwined.

Hail, Lord and Lady in one body bound!

Hear Spanda Pulse in Nād the Unstruck Sound;

See Symbol’s Image one with Meaning signed:

Her shapely Figure fused with His spacious Ground.

O Mother-Father, heal our World-Soul’s wound—

Reveal sole Self in diverse forms divined!

Hail, Lord and Lady in one body bound:

Her shapely Figure fused with His spacious Ground.
