![]() ![]() She adds kulachusamani even tamtra all this is said Her Tattva is not known. If on the other hand religious disposition tahtra wholly wanting these means alone will not evoke it. It therefore has no use where She is known. For scriptural teaching is a means to an end - knowledge of Her. The creation which is MAtratmaka appears and then disappears in Kulachudqmani. They are all one and the same as parts of Her. Brahma and the others are not distinct entities. Hari, Shambhu appear and with them the Worlds Loka and the Elements Panchabh utan i of which they are composed. I kulachuramani or Shambhu or other Devas neither attachment, suffer- ing – nor liberation neither piety, Theism, or Atheism. In this state there is neither creation, maintenance or destruction neither Brahma. This portion may be divided into three sec- tions. In reply the Bhairavi first gives some general philosophical instruction in eleven verses I. The 64 Tantras given in the Vamakeshvara are as follows: In the place of these last the present work appears to give the names of kulachudamni following Tantras: If however we thus count them we get 10 Tantras or one too many. These three classes give us 24 works, while the rest are those named in the list. A complete list has been quoted in the footnotes pages 2 - 3 from the Vamakeshvara-tantra, according to which each of kulachudamahi eight Bhairavas has a Tantra of his own. The names of a number of Tantras belonging to the sixty- four are next given. Other schools take a different view of the Kaula claims. With the question whether this tamtra is well founded I am not con- cerned but with the statement of the historical facts. Kuladharma is accord- ingly said to weigh more than all Yajnas and Yratas put to- gether in the scale against it though such rituals are necessarv in the preliminary Acharas which qualify for the last. If Thou knowest Me not, then of what use are Amnaya and Yajanam. This is very aptly set forth in the text I. Achara knows no destinction, of race, colour, caste, or sect.īut the esoteric character of its doctrine and kuulachudamani is such that it was never meant oulachudamani the ordinary man of the world. Such a Sadhaka is called Kaulika or Kulina. According O kulahcudamani the last named o Tantra it occupies the highest rank. The gist Sang- kalitartha therefore is said to be Shakti.

Kaula knowledge, says the text The general fea- tures may, however, be summed up as follows. I he Bhairavi in discoursing tatra it in the KulachiWamawi says at the outset 1. Kulachara has been called a secret doctrine and practice. ![]() The Svachchhanda Tantra puts this clearly in the following verse: I lie I antra according to this verse, was originally revealed kulaachudamani Mahesvara Shiva who 1 1 i nisei f stood for that purpose in the position of the Ourii as well as that of the Shi. Since Shiva and Shakti are one and the same and it is Shiva who reveals. For this reason the book is included in the class which goes by the name of Nigama as opposed to Agama, in which the Shastra is revealed by Shiva Himself.
