Page 3 The Hidden Source of Vital Spiritual Energy

Gyatr the supreme source of thy power is revered as the origin of the infinite gamut of spiritual, conscious, unconscious and super conscious faculties, cosmic energy and material existence. The cosmic power of Gyatr used for the creation and perceivable manifestation of the universe is named as Svitr. The higher
level sdhans
1
of Gyatr and Svitr include the endeavors of stimulation and arousal of kualin

and the unfolding and sublime transmutation of the panca koas

. Before going into the deeper science of kualin, we may attempt understanding its basic elements. Kma the subtle source of sex-element, zealous vitality, sublime creativity, joy and emotional exaltation, is the seed of manifestation of this hidden energy of cosmic grandeur. The sagacious, enlightened personalities are aware of this precious source and therefore use it cautiously for creative purposes. We too should know the importance and deeper depths of the spiritual science of kma and proceed along the path of sdhans as per our present mental makeup. The physical science regards atom as the basic unit of matter. As per the hypotheses prevalent until half a century ago, the origin and properties of matter and hence all its reactions and energy-variations were attributed to specific arrangements, distributions and motion of the subatomic particles in the nuclei of its atoms. Further research had discovered that the atom or subatomic particles are not the most basic entities, rather, these are consequences. After the theories of (quantum) energy waves etc, it is now believed that the root cause of the manifestation of Nature is some kind of cosmic vibrations that could be regarded as generating the physical as well as conscious energy waves. The sparks of which motivate the motion of subatomic and subtler particles and give rise to the physical existence of the universe and control its expansion and ultimate destruction. The science of spirituality begins at much deeper levels. It affirms the origin of Nature and cosmic expansion through the evolutionary impulse generated by the commingling of prakati and pura
4
. These (prakati and pura) are also referred as rayi and pra, akti and iva, or agni and soma in the vedic literature. We may think of these as sublime cosmic power currents of mutually complementary nature. As the flow of electricity is not possible without both the positive and negative currents, no energy or motion could be realized in Nature without the vibrating linkage of prakati and pura.
The snkhya school of Vedic Philosophy describes that the cosmic impulse induced by the vibrating linkage consistent cycle of mutual commingling and separation, originate the evolving existence of the par and apar
5
forms of Nature. We get the first experience of this effect in the motion of (sub) atomic particles. A clock starts and continues operating with the harmonic motion of its pendulum. Similarly, the existence and unlimited activities of Nature commence and continue with the vibrating linkage of prakati and pura. In order to explain and illustrate the deeper science and philosophy of this subliminal process, the pura (Brahma) and prakati are rhetorically described in the scriptures as representing the eternal man and woman. The trinity Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva symbolize thy powers of eternal creation, execution and evolution. The Goddesses referred as their respective wives are Savitri, Lakshmi and Parvati. Hidden behind this rhetoric description of divine couples is the fact that the eternal thy force (pura) is incomplete without prakati. No creation, no life and no growth would be possible without the conjunction of the two. There would be nothing except the absolute void. From the anthropological viewpoint, the conjugation of the mutually supplementary powers of man (male) and woman (female) is the root cause of all the gross existence of the world. The confluence or coupling of the two naturally complementary streams of the sex-element gives birth to new life. This reaction is like generation of spark from friction, from impulsive cycle of conjugation and separation. The vibrating linkage in the sublime domains of Nature is also reflected in every expression of life, every process of the living body. For example, the respiratory cycle, the consecutive compression and expansion of the muscles, the beating of the heart, the pulsating flow of blood, the cyclic growth and division of the cells, the rhythmic cascade of molecular interactions etc. Any disruption in this system invites the
Page 4
terror death. This is true not only for the gross body, but also in every expression of Nature. Like the high and low tides of the sea, every activity in the universe is based on the cosmic impulse of the vibrating linkage cyclic conjunction and disjunction of what is termed in the science of spirituality as prak ati and
pura or rayi and pra. Human life entirely depends upon this eternal cosmic process. What is transacted by the prakati and pura in the subliminal realms of cosmic creation is supposed to be performed by man and woman together in the gross domains of life on this earth. The alliance of the two is therefore essential on the social fronts. Apart from the exceptional cases of individuals living singly because of some unavoidable compulsion or because of some ascetic ideals or noble aims, the life-partnership (as married couples in general) or company of man and woman is the most natural, common and favorable mode of life in the human society. No one would objet to accept that the natural growth and happiness of life sustains on the association of man and woman. It should be noted that the intimate companionship of man and woman is required not only for reproduction or carnal pleasure. The joy of sexual linkage and desire of having offspring may trigger such relationships in a couple. However, this is not all. In fact, the intimate association between the two enables creative channelization of kma
6
in both and thus helps arousal of their otherwise dormant consciousness; this soothing exaltation is required in every moment of life. The attachment of a child with his mother and eagerness of being in her lap or proximity are also indicative of this natural requirement. The sons deprived of motherly affections and the daughters bereft of fathers love and protection are often found to lack in healthy psychological development. The presence of boys and girls both among the children augments the happy ambience of a family. The boys who have no company of sisters and similarly the girls without having brothers remain deprived of overall development of personality and risk some hindrance in mental evolution. With the emergence of youth one has to arrange for a married life. Healthy association between husband and wife together would offer natural boost to each others progress in all dimensions of life. In the old age, affectionate interaction with the (grand) sons and (grand) daughters also provides extra sublime support to the hidden consciousness of the (grand) mothers and (grand) fathers respectively. Renowned psychologists like Dr. Freud, though in a narrowed sense of the word, have advocated kma as the utmost need of human life. It is affirmed to be fulfilled in intimate interactions, amicable alliance between the opposite sexes. Somehow in our country, the Sanskrit (or Hindi) word kma is mostly used to imply sexual pleasure or related desires. This is why it is often discarded as an erotic or obscene
terminology and the concept of inevitability of kma appears debased and unacceptable to many of us. But a sane consideration of the overall meaning of the word with scientific outlook and open mind would convey that kma is indeed an eternal necessity reflected in origin and infinite expansion right from the commingling of prakati and pura and the gross generation of life, to the contributions of married life in the society and sustenance of the world. Finding flaws in this interpretation or countering it by some linguistic analysis etc, would only be a prejudiced and futile exercise of arguments. Unmindful and uncontrolled use of every resource is risky. Extremities or exploitation of every thing should be avoided. Incontinence and greed of unwise, shortsighted people often cross limits in unchecked, insidious misuse of the faculties of sense organs. Look at the state of our tongue for instance. Many of us have ruined its vital power in abusive, bitter and false speech and all kinds of unhealthy (though lavish) foods and invited physical and mental sufferings and economical and moral decline in several respects. This is not the flaw of the natural faculties of taste and voice endowed in the tongue. If restrained, refined and used wisely, this tiny organ alone could serve great purposes in enlightened progress of our life. The same is the case of the genitals (the sex-organs). If these are restrained carefully together with adoption of brahmcarya
7
and the nectar of kma hidden in the sex-element is enjoyed with moral purity and cautious control, the sexual indulgence too would prove to be beneficial and fulfilling like the elixir of life. After all, careful processing and medicinal use of poison makes it a life-saving drug too. However, at the same time we must note that adulteration and ill usage of these are always detrimental and could convert even the nectar into a deadly toxin. Thus, it is not the kma, rather, its perversion and eroticism, that are debauching and should be reproached and avoided.
Page 5
The social anomalies of imposed separation between man and woman and excessive constraints upon their meeting each other stimulate unnatural psychological complications and debased tendencies in mind. As
we all know, nothing indecent or shameful is observed in the act of breast-feeding of a child by his mother. Women in many tribal communities do not cover their breasts but this does not trigger unnatural concupiscence or any obscenity. It is only our mental vile and absurd convictions that project the holy part like the breast of a womans body as an erogenous symbol. The womans body too is like any other creation of Nature; but the aberrations of attitude make it a source of moral vitiation. Our skewed thinking, adulterated mental tendencies have maligned the peerless potential bestowed by Nature in the form of kma. Birds and animals remain nude throughout their lives, their males and females eat, sleep and play together but, forget about sexual attraction; neither side even pays any attention towards carnal proximity unless demanded by Nature in specific seasons. If we burn the man-made interpretations and theories of kma and employ its enormous, incessant potentials in adopting the pure inspirations of Nature and educing refined development of life, the sex-element too would no longer be mere source of carnal pleasures. Rather it would flourish as a marvelous seed of vitality, creative enthusiasm and rare faculties. When the relations between a daughter and father, sister and brother, or mother and son could be so sacred, happy and healthy, why would that between other kinds of social interactions between the two sexes be pernicious? Take for instance the case of husband and wife. This relationship could be most enlightening and exceptionally encouraging for unalloyed progress of both if insulated from the aberrations of sensual lust. Marriage in such cases would prove to be an excellent means of nurturing completion in the lives of both the partners by healthy alliance and mutual support. Lord Krishna had mobilized a welcome revolution in this regard. The Indian society of those days of yore was subjected to blind traditions even the child boys and girls were not allowed to play together. People beard a blind conviction that meeting or interaction of men and women, of whatever age groups would lead to immoral, untoward consequences. This had darkened peoples mentality and thus captured the smiles of children too in the barrier of social absurdity; little boys and girls were not able to laugh or play together under these baseless constraints Lord Krishna removed these suppressive barriers and encouraged healthy alliance between the two sexes by way of organizing the blissful programmes of rsll in which the boys and girls, men and women all use to play and dance together. He found it illogical to discriminate among humans on gender basis; so what if one section of the human society can grow moustaches and the other doesnt. How could the
difference between the anatomy of the genitals make one sex inferior or harmful to the other in any way? In fact, this difference in the physical and psychological nature of the two sexes is a remarkable symbol of Natures art that offers soothing mutual complementarity among them. Considering that the two different sexes would commit mistakes and indulge in obscene, amoral acts whenever they associate is an extreme of mistrust of humans towards themselves. Imposed restrictions cannot compel one to follow ethics. Handcuffs or iron fetters of a prisoner need not transform his conduct. The hard restraints imposed on women via the traditions of pard and gungha (veil) have failed in reducing the instances of sexual exploitation, harassment and licentious conduct. What all faux-pas the so-called morally elite, conservatives might do in the name of self-made relations of regarding a woman as their sister or daughter etc, is not hidden from any one. On the contrary, friendly association without any named relationship could be so pure and ideal at times! Indeed, this all depends upon the piety of ones character, his or her culture, attitude and self-discipline. Unless one fits authentically on high values in this regard, no social norms or imposition could restrain a canny mind. Cleverness could always craft modes of violating every law or restriction as per its own instincts. Chastity of conduct, virtuous development of character could be ensured only by refinement from within. This demands inculcation of raddh
8
, prudence and farsightedness towards noble ideals and human dignity. Social norms should not prohibit healthy alliance, interaction and collaboration between the two sexes, else, the society would be deprived of the great benefits available from the joint efforts, mutual support of its two major pillars. Lord Krishna had propagated this message so effectively by his enchanting rslls.
Page 6
The deep knowledge of the spiritual science of kma should reach the masses even if one finds it indecent or
untoward because of his wrong convictions about the sex-element. This gist of thy creation, which the Nature subtly teaches all the creatures, should not be kept hidden or allowed to be misinterpreted by human mind. This sounds more relevant today when the deep science has been totally deformed and corrupted in all respects. If the mass mentality of ignorance, maligned beliefs, or perverted thinking on this subject is not changed and the wrong traditions on social and personal fronts are not corrected now, the evils, flaws and defects would expand in dangerous proportions with time and shroud all domains of ascent. The uncontrolled dissipation and abuse of a vital power would lead to disastrous consequences for the human race. The spiritual science of sublime power of the sex-element accords sacred interactions between man and woman. The intimacy of their relationship as married couple could also incorporate sensual connections and mutual satisfaction of sex. There should be no restriction on healthy association, joint efforts and social unions of men and women in general. As two or more men or women can share the joy of friendship without any risk or suspicion, the same way men and women could also maintain unstained, respectful alliance. This natural, serene, sober association should not be prohibited. Our society has tried unjustified, unmindful norms for too long. The results obviously affirm the invalidity, irrationality and harms of these orthodox traditions. What has the system or discipline of pard and ghughaa (veil) given to us? The definite loss has been that the daughter-in-laws have been deprived of free development of their personalities and kept away from the affectionate guidance of the elders in the family. The status of women captured in pard in their in-laws house is no better than that of a bird in a cage. The emotionally sensitive young girls, who have been brought up with good care and freedom in their parents house, get shocked in such unprecedented circumstances and often suffer from anxiety, depression, hysteria, socalled ghostly phobias, and varieties of psychological disorders. When every one else in her own family enjoys normal life with liberty and she has to breath in the darkness of the veil with no right to have a choice or a say, a young, innocent woman is bound to feel nervous, emotionally suppressed, mentally suffocated and tortured.
This mental state either triggers hatred and revengeful agitation, or shatters and wanes out her selfidentity and normal potentials in severe depression. Both the conditions are detrimental for her as well as for the family and the society. This custom of our society has done lot of injustice to the women. Years of cultural and psychological suppression has hindered and damaged the creative potentials, talents and sentimental wealth of women to a great extent. The society and the nation as a whole also have had to bear the negative consequences. The advocates of the inhuman tradition of pard might have imposed it in the name of moral disciplines to prevent adultery and licentious attractions between the opposite sexes. But how much have they succeeded? It is laughable to observe that a woman is supposed to cover her face in front of the elderly men, those, who could have been like her father and uncles in the in-laws family. Her husbands younger brother, even though of her age, is however allowed to see her and even share any level of jokes with her. Moreover, if she is imprisoned in the veil, there are chances that the fascination of the outer world might trigger abnormal feelings in her and might lead to amoral attractions in her or in the younger males in the family/ acquaintances or even outside in the market place etc. The argument of covering the face as a mark of respect is also baseless. Respect emanates from the heart and is reflected in ones behavior; one earns respected because of ones virtuous deeds and conduct. In no way there appears any logic or sense in the tradition of veil or pard. The custom of pard came in India with the tyranny of invaders. The foreign attackers and their armymen used to see the daughters of this land with erotic eyes and abduct the young beauties to satisfy their carnal thirst. Shielding the faces of the ladies and hiding them within the four walls of the house became a common mode of their protection in those medieval times. But now, when we are a free democratic society with sovereignty of human rights, what is the relevance and need of this restriction? While traversing the dry, warm sands of the Arabian deserts, one needs to cover the face and rest of the body by thick cloth to protect the skin, eyes, ears and nose from the burning winds. There is no such problem in our country. Then why
curse the youth and independence of our daughters and daughter-in-laws to die untimely in the constraints of ghunghaa or pard? This blemish has obstructed the healthy development of their personality and shaken their self-confidence at large. It has further fueled the unjust, damaging custom of dowry and tendencies of womens exploitation, thus piercing multiple wounds in our social system and preventing our progress. Even
Page 7
animals are bought by paying a fair amount. But a man brings his better half by marrying her along with a heavy dowry. Her parents, despite raising her in best possible ways have to pay this price and donate their beloved daughter for life-long service of her groom and his family. This pathetic situation is an offshoot of the pard system. Going by the true ethics of humanity, the husband and the in-laws family should be most grateful to the bride who dedicates all her life taking care of them, working for their welfare. It is high time we awake and realize the dignity of both components of the human population.. The principles of spirituality discard the irrational barriers, which discriminate between humans, separate the existential identities of men and women and obscure their natural association. It should be remembered again that imposing a distance between men and women in all walks of life wouldnt ensure prevention of adultery and licentiousness. There are better and more effective means of expanding morality in personal and social life of the masses. The root cause of social evils of our times is two folded (i) half the population, namely the women have been deprived of mental evolution and (ii) intellectual corruption has encouraged depiction of womans body, her beauty as a sex-symbol in art and literature. ; Many of the writers, poets, singers, actors, painters and other artists of the modern times too seem to have concentrated all their talents in erogenous imaginations and given undue focus on stimulating sensual desires and perverting peoples taste of entertainment thereby.
The mutually supplementary powers of pra and rayi, soma and agni, and swh and swadh in man and woman are of unique biological, psychological and spiritual importance. The conjugation of these sublime elements holds limitless potentials of genesis, creation and blissful evolution at higher realms of Nature. Reproduction or growth of population is a very crude and negligible expression of this astonishing effect. These two subliminal streams of the source of consciousness and manifestation of Nature should be recognized and realized through the deeper science of spirituality. Sagacity of human mind should check the risk of tragic decline and extinction of human world by preventing the perverted dissipation of the immense energy of kma hidden in the sex-element in erotic passions. This sublime power should rather be channelized preciously for the overall ascent of the physical, mental and spiritual strength of mankind. The activity of sex-element in copulation is a subtle biological process. The sensual lust and excitement associated with copulation could be vulgar and shameful. Erotic description of the same could be detrimental and should therefore be avoidable. However, knowing the roots of this process in Nature, deciphering the higher dimensions of the vital force and the deeper science of kma, is neither untoward nor unnecessary. It is indeed a part of the Pancgni Vidya the vedic science of genesis and evolution of pra, that has been lost in the mist of ignorance and tides of time. Neglect of this great knowledge has caused enough harms to our own lives and potentials. The deep knowledge of multiple aspects of the bio-electrical force and pra in the sex-elements of man and woman is dealt in the spiritual science of kma. It should be studied with same sincerity and investigative attitude as any other branch of science.
Mutual Commingling in The Cosmos and The Spark of Kma

It is mentioned in the Puranas that Lord Brahma (the supreme creator) created the universe with the help of his two wives (thy powers) Svitr and Gyatr. These Goddesses are defined respectively as the source of the apar and par prakati. The par prakati or the jaa akti (Svitr) is the eternal cause of the existence of energy and matter in the universe. All kinds of planetary, macromolecular, atomic or subatomic movements
and subtle particles, vibrations, the cosmic radiation of energy etc. are manifestations of this power. The subliminal, eternal power of Gyatr, viz, the par prakati is the origin of the omnipresent consciousness. It is manifested in thoughts, emotions and spiritual faculties. A human being is a living system constituted by the combination of the subtle powers of apar (in physical body) and par (in the mind and soul) prakati in the visible world. Significantly lower levels of these powers also exist in the animals and microorganisms. We the human beings, are endowed with enormous
Page 8
potentials in the body, brain and mind because of the greater presence and relatively higher arousal of the powers of par and apar prakati in our inner selves. The topmost (in the brain) and the lower most of the a cakras namely, the sahastrra and the muldhra are said to contain respectively the latent spiritual powers of Gyatr and Svitr immanent in a human being. The immense potential of Svitr hidden in the muldhra is described in the spiritual scriptures as the kualin mah-akti. This is also the kma-akti (force of kma) or kma-kal. The (bio) electrical impulse experienced in the physical energy of sex-element is only a negligible manifestation of this gigantic power. The detailed study of how the nonuse, misuse and proper use of kma-akti influences the multiple dimensions of human personality falls under the subject matter of the Spiritual Science of Kma. Careful and constructive use of electricity servers countless purposes and offers tremendous benefits. However, erroneous and unchecked trials with this power could invite devastating accidents. The same is true of the kma-akti. This latent energy is a great reservoir of vital and supernatural powers. The deeper science of brahmcarya focuses on the disciplines and modes of adept use of this sublime power in the sex-element. As the information on precious treasures of wealth is kept secret, so has been the case with the knowledge on the spiritual science of kma-akti or kualin yoga. Its secrecy in no way should be interpreted as a restriction or negligence because of something unchaste about the topics pertaining to the sex-element. How
sacred and important was the knowledge of kualin for the ancient spiritual education, becomes clear from the fact that even the holy idols of Lords Shiva and Shakti (Parvati) have been given a form combining the physical shapes of the male and female genital organs of the human body. Every scientifically trained mind would accept that there is no place for vulgarity or perversion in this representation of the supreme powers of pra and rayi (or agni and soma) whose cosmic conjunction is the eternal cause of the flow of omnipresent energy and the physical manifestation of life. There is nothing wrong or indecent in studying the science of kma. It elucidates the deeper scientific aspects of the genesis, evolution and accomplishment of vital powers. Had it not been the case, why would the idols symbolizing the conjugation of the divine powers of Lord Shiva and akti be consecrated and worshiped in the temples? How could the divine vital force of Svitr be insidious for our life? The sex-element too is endowed with this kma-akti. There is nothing unholy or improper in it. What is abominable is the erotic misuse and draining of this immense power in sensual lust. Adulteration and ill treatment could convert even the nectar into deadly poison. There is also a story in the Puranas where Lord Shiva is said to have turned Kamadeva into ashes because of the undisciplined attempt of the latter in awakening excessive desire of sex in people against the laws of Nature. Here, the act of burning indicates a sublimation and purification of the power of Kamadeva and destruction of its gross incitement in concupiscence. Had kma been heinous like demon powers of devil, God Shiva would have ruined it forever. But thou did not do, as this would have eliminated the very source of desire, joy, and enthusiasm from life. There would have been no vivacity in this world. The Gyatr part of the sublime force of Lord Brahma is the eternal source of consciousness in the faculties of thoughts, feelings, sentiments, beliefs, faith and intuition, which are inherent in a human being. Purification and evolution of these faculties is inspired by realization and arousal of the divine energy of Gyatr indwelling in the soul. The whole philosophy and science of the spiritual practices of yoga, tantra and mantra is aimed
at the attainment of this state of spiritual enlightenment. The yogis and sages of spirituality of all ages have endeavored ascetic sdhans of Gyatr. A lot has been written and guided on the science and philosophy of this original light of Veda. However, that has not been the case with the deep knowledge of the sdhanas of Svitr, as these pertain to the yoga and tntrika science of kualin. The spiritual practices of awakening the kualin deal with the above aspects of the conscious power of kma. The detailed and in-depth knowledge of this sdhan has largely remained secret largely because of the possibilities of disastrous misuse due to lack of comprehension of the difference between spiritual and carnal sex and its disciplines. This branch of yoga and spirituality was studied with honor and practiced with sincerity since the vedic times till the Age of Tantra. The evil operations and exploitation of this knowledge by the demons and giants and debauching of its practices for licentious lust and carnal misconduct forced secrecy and restrictions on its teaching and sdhanexperiments. Only deserving disciples of spiritual maturity
Page 9
were allowed to enter this field of tntrika science. The difficulties associated with the long-term dedicated disciplines, the danger of misinterpretations and negative effects in the absence of adept guidance (of a noble expert a guru) appear to be the logical causes for this secrecy in the later ages too. The description of the modes of its gross activation and the perceivable and extrasensory powers is available in the Daa Vidy chapter of the Tantra Vigyana. This is also beyond the reach (in terms of proper understanding) of the masses. The ten (daa) vidys (streams of deep knowledge) discussed here do not refer only to some rituals and mechanical acts of worshiping the ten divine currents of the Mahkl (kualin) akti. Rather, they elucidate the devout disciplines of the sdhans of these foundational elements of the spiritual force of tantras. The ten streams of the Mahkl akti subliminally indwell in the deeper depths of human consciousness. The sdhans of these enable spiritual refinement and evolution of consciousness
from the ordinary to extraordinary, preeminent, omnipotent levels. A thorough review and meaningful analysis of this branch of spiritual knowledge should be pursued with open mind and sincerity in the modern era of scientific quest. The teachers of Anatomy and Physiology do not hide anything about the genital organs and related biological processes from their students. Else, the knowledge of human body would have remained incomplete. How could the related diseases be cured unless the doctor examines these organs? How would the Gynaecological surgery and treatments be performed? There would have been no experts to treat sexual disorders, deficiencies and associated psychological complications in that situation. When there is nothing indecent or immoral in these branches of science dealing with sex functions, why should there be any problem in its deeper psychological and spiritual study? What needs to be restrained and avoided is the erotic literature, art and related activities that degrade the natural beauty of human body in vulgarity, pervert peoples thinking and incite the animal instincts of carnal lust. The information about the importance of the sex-element, the dreaded harms of its uncontrolled waste and untoward excitations, etc should on the contrary be propagated in the scientific light as part of health awareness among the masses. Curiosity and desire (only at physical level, though) about sex is a natural phenomenon in normal human beings. Scientific interpretation of the spiritual aspects of this power would therefore have an obvious psychological and social impact on human life. It is this positive effect which has motivated the discussions in this Chapter. The first lesson that should be taught in the spiritual science of sex is that there is no distinction between the spiritual existence of man and woman. The two sexes are part of the same source of life; the subtle forms of both exist in every human being, as the pra (agni or purua) in the sahastrra and rayi (soma or prak ati) in the mldhra. Both the masculine and feminine currents of consciousness are subliminally present in the same being most naturally. The greater extent of the former induces courage strength and valor etc, while the latter is responsible for modesty, sincerity and compassion, etc. Both have there own significance and importance in human life. Their physical and psychological manifestations are different in the two genders according to
the corresponding natural laws of complementarity. We all should understand this fact and every kind of discrimination between men and women should be entirely eliminated. It is more important in the Indian society of today, especially for the men to note this reality. The attitude of men towards the women should be that of a good friend, associate and a well-wisher. A woman should be given due recognition of her dignity as a human. Gone are the days of tyranny when the cruel, beastly invaders used to hunt for and attack our daughters to satisfy their carnal hunger. Hiding the women in veils is nothing lesser than a crime against humanity. Our fears of moral decline and untoward consequences of allowing free interactions have no basis except our absurd convictions and prejudices. Men and women are working together on so many fronts in so many parts of the world today. Why should we restrict their association and force half of our population to remain backward and deprived? What is the fault of women? Suppressing their progress in the name of religion and spiritual teachings is an unpardonable offense of deception. Look at our Gods Ram, Krishna, Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma.. They are all described in the Hindu religion as married and are worshiped along with their wives. Our revered almighty Goddesses Saraswati, Lakshmi, Kali, etc, are all depicted as feminine powers. Do our minds ever get inauspicious or suspicious about them?
Page 10
Our great ancestors of the vedic age have set glorious ideals of married life and equality of man and woman in every walk of dignified life. All the seven rishis (the saptaris) were married. Their wives were with them during the ascetic phases of their paramount sdhans too. The association of their better halves had no negative effect on their spiritual evolution. Rather it was most supportive. Most of the rishis and their wives both used to run the gurukuls collectively. They used to have children if and when essential for some altruist purposes. Many of them also lived as brahmcries
9
despite being married and living with their spouses and many chose to be unmarried for this purpose. But, none ever expressed any negative opinion about women or about the interactions between man and woman. If fact several of the sagacious women of that time had also attained the revered titles of rishis. In the ancient times, when prudent understanding and practice of spirituality was alive, no one could have ever mistaken that a woman lacks or obstructs spirituality in any way. The enlightened lives and teachings of the saints and sages of the later ages too have propagated the graceful equality of both man and woman. Swami Ram Krishna Paramhans was also married. His devout brahmcarya was a perfect example of the fact that vicinity, association or amity of a woman and sexual relationship with her are quite different. This difference should be understood by all of us. Sri Aurobindo has been the greatest yogi of the modern times. There is no place of doubt or confusion about the piety and spiritual eminence of his life. The mother, who was a French woman, had devotedly taken care of his lonely efforts. She found divine light from this noble association and her presence was like the proximity of the holy Ganges for Sri Aurobindo. Many seers and saints have remained single. But this was their preference. This should not be propagated as mandatory for a sage to renounce the company of women. If it were so, the saintly Mahatma Gandhi would have discarded his wife and the alliance of women in his historic mission. Some altruist persons prefer to be unmarried in order to engage all their time and efforts for social welfare. Some find it more fruitful to work jointly with the support of the life-partner. Neither approach is wrong so long as it serves the altruist purpose with moral dignity. The religious leaders and saints of today, whether married or unmarried should set authentic examples of their lives in this regard and come forward to eliminate the misconceptions about the sex-element and prejudices against women. Kma is the eternal source of the feeling of entertainment, enthusiasm, ecstasy and enchantment. It is not confined to the physical activities of the sex-element. The sensual pleasure is an insignificant offshoot of the immense power of kma. The serene expressions and experiences of benevolence, sacred love, creative zeal and inner bliss fall in the enlightened domains of spiritual kma. This element is immanent in all men
and women, children, youths and elders. No one should be deprived of its soothing emotional flow under any custom or tradition in the name of morality. It should be recalled again and again that the true progress and happiness of a family, a society and the world as a whole depends upon the healthy cooperation between men and women. We should wipe out all suspicions and illusions like risk of moral vitiation, decline and social degradation due to free alliance and company of men and women. Why cant a man have the same pious feelings and goodwill towards his lady colleagues and other women as he has for his mother, aunts, sisters, and other relatives? If proximity was the cause of depraving, all the men and women who have to commute in crowded buses (where the bodies of all passengers are almost pushed upon each other in jostling) everyday would have been incited for adultery and sexual crimes by now. The cooperative association of men and women is not the cause of debasing. That way, a debauched mind gets excited by concupiscence even without ever getting a chance to meet a woman; just an erotic story or a picture could also stimulate his sensual lust. We should think positively with open mind and let righteous education have its impact on mass awareness. The vicious cycle of the degradation of the institution of marriage through evil customs of dowry and ghunghaa and discrimination between the male and female children by the parents results in the underdevelopment of the girl child. This injustice and oppression should be stopped as early as possible. It should be made known to the masses that woman is not a mobile doll, neither is she only a beautiful show peace or tool of pleasure. She too is a human being, who is endowed with all the bequests of thee, all the potentials and talents as a man is. It is most natural, beneficial and proper for the human society that both its architects men and women live together as friendly partners. Unchastity, licentiousness or
Page 11
adultery is not the consequences of their mutual collaboration, rather, it emanate from perverted attitude, debased thinking and unchecked lust. One could be amoral and depraved disregard of whether he is married or not, whether he meets and works with women or not. Instead of imposing social constraints on the interactions, communication and collective endeavors of men
and women in the name of moral disciplines, we should attempt removing the prejudiced convictions and changing peoples attitude towards woman. Those responsible for presenting her delicacy and physical beauty as a sensuous and erotic in the name of art and fashion should be punished by the society, as this is a blatant crime of symbolizing her as a prostitute, as a cause of perversion. It is ironical to note that the observance of illogical unscientific beliefs and practices of disrespect towards women is at its peak today in a country like India, which boasts of being the originator of the spiritual enlightenment of mankind at the times of yore. Today, it is a demand of humanity and social justice that woman be given her due place and honor in every realm of life. Men and women should live and work for mutual development and happy co-existence. It is most desired on psychological fronts and essential in terms of the values of spirituality. Man with all his valor and skills would have been living like ghosts in the hell, had he not been blessed by the soothing elixir of the caring affection and the soft sentimental support of woman as mother, wife, daughter and sister. The eternal pura Brahma too maintains the flow of divine grace and love only through thy linkage with prakati. The spiritual science describes the union of pra and rayi as essential for the genesis and sustenance of inner bliss, joy, soothing sentiments of love and emotional charm and peace. Copulation of sex-elements is a manifestation of the flow of vital electricity by the commingling of agni and soma. Its sanctity and importance should be understood and remembered. Men and women both should realize the sublime presence of thy force hidden as mutually complementary currents of kma in their sex-element and enlighten their attitude and conduct accordingly. May the conjunction of mutually supplementary and supportive powers of agni and soma, pra and rayi, which is boosting the blissful activities and evolution of Nature educe spiritual acumen in these two halves of human entity.
Need of Caution and Cooperating Interactions Amongst The Two Sexes

Joint presence of the powers of agni (fire in the yagya kua) and soma (water-line around the havan kua) both is supposed to be essential in the religious performance of yagya
10
. The high thermal energy of fire needs to be controlled by the coolness of water; this is what is indicated by keeping the fire within the limits of a water-line during a yagya. Although the sacred fire (yagygni) plays the major role in the process of yagya, the procession of kalaa ytra
11
before performing a large-scale yagya shows that soma has precedence over agni. Apart from the scientific importance of yagya, the perfect matching of soma and agni also has significant socio-psychological implications in human life in terms of the implications of these words as the two streams of kma. It teaches that the masculine vigor, physical strength and ego always need to be controlled by the soothing effects of feminine affection and compassion. Motherhood is the greatest gift of God endowed upon nature and the human society. Realizing this, the pre-eminent role of women in society should have been regarded as the law of nature in all spheres of life. Although the ancient society followed this law in action, it is unfortunate that the modern era presents an entirely different, distressing scenario. A major cause of the disharmony, insecurity, selfishness, cruelty, violence and immorality, pervading in the modern world is the disrespect to womanhood. The so-called religious fundamentalists, the powerful emperors, talented artists and learned writers and poets of the medieval and modern times are to be blamed largely for scorning or exploiting the womanhood on the one hand and stimulating the sensual
Page 12
desires of the masses beyond the natural limits on the other. As a results the feminine modesty, sentiments and tolerance are hardly able to breathe in the open horizons of life. Had women the essential half of the human society, been given their due place in the political, social, economical and other important spheres, the world would have been shaped by now in an ideal form, appropriate to the dignity of humanity. If women, with the help of their inherent qualities of motherly kindness and love, modesty and sincerity and abilities of efficient management of resources..., had led the political, social, educational, economical and related activities in the modern era then this world would certainly have been a better place to live. It would have been saved from the dangers of nuclear and star wars, civil wars and terrorism, population- explosion, environmental pollution, killer diseases like AIDS and the disastrous drug addictions..... etc. Although the status of women has been uplifted in the recent past, with the advent of educational and scientific developments in several parts of the world, much still remains to be done in this direction. Latent propagation of eroticism in the name of modernity, art, entertainment and humor continues to degrade
femininity in general. Suppression of women by their own relatives in the name of religious or social discipline still shows its presence in many parts of the society; the economical, social and political disparities between the two sexes still persists. On the social fronts, justice, tenability and reason demand that a wife should neither be considered as a bondmaid nor a child-producing machine. Regarding her as a puppet, showpiece or a commodity for the sensual pleasure of her husband is equally harmful for the physical and mental health of the husband too. Further, a rise in the new disease like AIDS should be taken as warning signals of nature that it is time for humanity to stop profligacy, debauchery and illicit sex; otherwise the tragic extinction may not be far off. As discussed earlier, the erotic trends of literature, art and cinema are the main culprits in depraving the mass mentality. Further decline would lead to disastrous fall in the hell forever. Nature will sure turn the clocks against this possibility of total destruction. This would be calamitous for those who do not atone and improve. It is the call of time that the worshippers of the divine mother Saraswati the eternal source of mental, creative talents and artistic faculties, realize her sublime presence in all women and reorient their attitudes accordingly. The fundamentalists too should open their eyes and realize that the dawn of intellectual and revolution and scientific thinking is increasingly shining with the radiance of prudence on the social and religious horizons too. Before it is too late, they should wake up now and change their cynical, illogical and fundamentalist attitude towards women. Else, they would be the losers. The rise of the sun the never waits for a sleeping duck. This message should go to those saints and sdhus as well, who regard woman race as the sinful obscurity in brahmcarya and spiritual elevation. Their baseless, prejudiced preaching has no match with the true teachings of religion and principles of spirituality. They should better look at the lives of the rishis of yore, the founders of the science of yoga sdhans and spirituality, should also peep in their heart and see how honest are they in worshiping a goddess representing thy force in feminine form. It is ironical that the religious texts they read day and night is full of feminine words in Sanskrit, such as pragy, sdhan, bhakti, mukti, siddhi, antartm.. They wont be able to repeat the blunder of abusing and discarding women, the moment they would get even a glimpse of their souls in the inner light.
The masses should also note that women have already been granted equal status in citizenship almost the world over. The spring of freedom is not going to remain only at the political or constitutional levels, it is soon going to flow in full force in all directions of human life. The era of slavery has gone, revolutions against racial discrimination and apartheid have also wiped out their existence from human society. The divisions and disparities based on gender, caste or creed etc, are also going to be buried in the history with the current tides of global changes. It is not too far when man and woman would gain equal importance like the two arms of a body, or two wheels of a moving cart. The mutual co-operation between the two sexes should be on the bases of equality and mutual respect and trust. Even animals do not disobey the laws of nature then why should such possibilities be always suspected in the company of two human beings ( species endowed with highest possible mental faculties) of opposite genders? Why shouldnt a friendly and ennobling relationship like that between a brother and a sister exist between man and woman in all walks of life? It should be remembered that both the sexes are integral part of the human society so both will have to live with the dignity of a human being. It is indeed the responsibility of all awakened men and women to work towards this end.
Page 13
Emancipation of women is also necessary today, because the future of humanity lies in their hands. The 21st century is going to witness this as a bright reality. While talking of equality, or woman liberation, care should be taken not to commit the mistakes of the western society, where liberty led to a notion of free sex and broken marriages. Men and women live in a family bonded by so many relations other than that of a husband and wife. We all know and experience that there is no risk of deviation in the piety of their interactions. Such a relation could also be realized among all the members of a society.., and of the world-family too. In order to counter the vulgar trends of art and culture, we will have to create a parallel platform, of sane expression of morally refined expression of peoples literary and artistic talents. Good entertainment is bound to
attract the people in successively larger numbers. For example, street plays and folk dances displaying the message of respect for all members of human society could be very effective for the masses like ours. The disciplines of spiritual science of kma would be of special relevance in this regard. Its intrinsic teachings on the enormous benefits of proper use of this sublime energy and on the dreaded harms of its uncontrolled waste or perversion, are also illustrated by Nature in varieties of examples living around us. Happy Couples: Examples in Nature: A large number of members of the animal kingdom demonstrate such a remarkable degree of discipline and responsibility in matters associated with reproduction and its consequent events that one finds them better, in several respects, than the social animal of today. Noted marine-scientist Dr. Lord had studied the life-cycle of a Stickleback during his long stay in Ireland. According to Dr. Lord, the human society may learn a lot from this sea-fish about how and when to prepare for the arrival of an offspring. Only the completely self- dependent and healthy males of this subspecies of fish plan for mating. Such a male searches for a female mate only after he prepares a home (with the help of sea vegetation and a gel type liquid secreted from his body) at a safe place deep inside the sea for his would-be family. His patience, hard work and the sense of responsibility is worth noting by those men who desire to or expect to get married without even realizing the essential duties (including those with respect to physical, financial and social fitness) associated with it. What about those who support/ propagate childmarriages? Shouldnt they be ashamed to find that even a fish is more sensible and wiser than them? Mr. Frank Bucklands work on the Stickleback fish also signifies its talent in house-construction and management. The male fish works hard to prepare for its own marriage. It collects small plants and soft grass and wood pieces floating in water. It sticks them on the back by secreting an adhesive fluid from its body. In order to make sure that all the material for house is stuck properly, it dances vibrantly, as though it is used to enjoying the hard work. It brings the stuff at the pre-selected safe place and starts building the house for its would be family. This male fish not only builds an artistically knitted nest from the stocked material, but also engineers holes in it for proper ventilation; it controls the flow of oxygen by timely fluttering its body
according to the flow of water. It also plasters and polishes its house using sand particles and its bodys adhesive secretion. Only after this due preparation, it searches for a compatible mate and brings her in the new home. It realizes that female is so important in a males life. It therefore offers due love and attention to its mate in contrast to the hypocrite men. It takes proper care of the female-mate in her pregnancy; looks after the newborn offspring and even makes swings for them at the roof of its small house. It keeps arranging for the entertainment of the progeny and their mother and unlike short-tempered, self-centered men, it maintains a joyous atmosphere in his house without ever complaining of its own fatigue or stress. Unless the kids are grown and testify self-dependence, it guards and trains them with care. The familial life of humans would also have been happy and progressing like that of Sticklebacks, had, not only the wife but, the husband too were careful and prompt in transacting his duties towards the life partner. Seeing a dancing tortoise sounds funny, as we have not even seen it running! But it indeed performs excellent dance in water to entertain and please its would be mate. Its joy of commencing a married life is expressed in its vibrant dance matching the flow of the high tide waves. A crocodile too dances blissfully with the thrill of finding its amour. It is his way of expressing affection and respect of its fiance.

A lioness delivers a baby after 108 days of pregnancy. After that, she restrains having sex for about two years. Till her cubs are grown strong and capable of hunting on their own, she remains busy in nurturing and training them affectionately. Even if she desires to have sex, she controls herself and avoids taking any risk of bearing a child till the growing ones are there to be looked after. Her sincerity and sense of responsibility teaches us the elevation of emotions. Emotional sensitivity doesnt always mean surrendering, rather it could be used to nourish the strength to fulfill the familial responsibilities with prudent care and honesty. Similar examples of patience, sincerity, fidelity and industrious sharing of responsibilities are found in the
families of Kiwi, Cassowary, Penguins, Emu, Mauva, etc. Charles Darwin has described their married and familial life as balanced and dedicated. The male and the female birds in these species show maturity, love and understanding in their behavior with each other and with their offspring. The male bird usually bears greater responsibilities in raising the family. In spite of being smaller in physique as compared to it female mate, it arranges for a comfortable nest and offers her food when she is carrying the eggs. It also hatches the eggs and fosters the newborn offsprings. Both the parents jointly teach them flying and defense against the predators. Perhaps no man has to take so much trouble in having his own family as poor penguin does. It travels up to the South Pole twice a year in February and September. It learns from the experience of the elders and follows the guidelines of the authentic head of his society. Upon reaching the poles, the elderly couples occupy their residences, which they had left after the last trip. The youth male-penguin takes the permission of his parents and ventures developing his own family. He firstly needs a compatible wife for this purpose. He first finds a young female who is still single. He then proposes to her in peculiar voice and by specific gestures. Unlike men who care more for physical beauty and wealth of the girls rather than their virtuous conduct and talents, the penguins see whether their would be partner can provide them firm support and compatible company in all circumstances. In order to propose his willingness to marry a suitable female, he first collects clean, smooth round stones. He holds the best of these in his bill. He presents this gift to her, as an expression of his amity. The female infers his assiduity, courage, nature and other qualities by inspecting the stones. She nods her acceptance if she finds the male suitable; else she expels him away by attacking from her bill. If rejected, the male tries again; he waits at a distance from her in a gloomy mood in a hope of her mercy. In case, he receives a cold or hostile response again, he starts searching for other possible mate. The nod of acceptance from his would be wife sparks off an ecstatic wave in this bachelor. He begins to dance in a thrill. The female, being aware of the value of time and hard work in making a family, then
commences making their house. On her signal, the male starts bringing stones for building their house. He also bears her scolding if he is not doing a good job. But he knows that her affectionate anger is for their own good and tries to improve him self rather than firing her back. After making a comfortable palace, they both go for bathing in the sea. They enjoy the dips in the clear, ice-cold water in each others company and remain there for long hours. Upon return, sometimes they find their newly constructed house been occupied by some other penguin. They fight the encroachers and the winner(s) get the house. Even if they get their house back, they again go for bathing to get rid of the fatigue and wrath of the quarrel. But now they dont commit the same mistake. They go for bathing in turn, so that one of them is all the time there to take care of the house. Their married life moves ahead with understanding, intimacy and endurance thereafter. The female lays the eggs but the male (the father) fosters the baby penguins. Both share the duties without any friction. Looking at them, one feels like setting their example before the men and women, who spent most of their life in selfish motifs and struggles to satisfy their endless cravings; but continue burning in the fire of jealous and dissatisfaction. They should at least learn to have forbearance like the penguins. Penguins are also good in disciplining and training their children with due care and understanding. Their babies are allowed to move freely only after they become strong and experienced enough to know and tackle the world around. Men of our times, have learnt only to produce children, they largely remain careless about their responsibility towards them. Not even half of the fathers of today would stand better than the penguins in strict observance of their duties in this respect. Most of them dont even want to know that apart from sending the kids to schools, they also have a role in developing their children as ideal citizens. Why cant all the men who also are husbands offer harmonious co-operation to their wives especially in the societies where the latter are expected to strictly follow the doctrines of virtuous, dutiful life with due fidelity
Page 15
towards their husbands? Many a times men disobey all norms and cross all limits in lewdness. Why they cant learn from these birds and animals to set sane norms and observe them for their own and the familys welfare? Why cant they be little wiser in raising the children and helping adept development of the younger generation? On the social fronts, even the tiny creatures like the ants are ahead of us and of many other higher organisms. As per their natural law; only their highest authority, the queen ant lays the eggs and keeps the population growing. In accordance with the norms set for her the queen honeybee selects only one male as her husband. The rest of the ants transact the essential duties, as labors, sweepers, guards, messengers, etc. Throughout their life they fulfill the assigned task most sincerely and efficiently giving no chance for complaint, although they dont get even a particle more than their tiny share under the uniform distribution system for the publicants. The world would have been so much better, had humans learnt the ideals of diligence, honesty and dutybond lifestyle from the ants. But what to say about the folly of this intelligent being, who adopts all means of corruption and dishonesty, and even cheats his own near and dear ones for his selfish aims, and wants heavenly comforts without doing any hard work? Once a team of wildlife researchers spotted a group of wild elephants in an African forest. Luckily, they found a safe place from where they could clearly keep a watch on minute to minute movements of this group of the mighty animal. One day they saw that the whole group was busy in some hectic activity. All the youthful elephants had positioned themselves making a circle of protection against likely enemys attack. No one was allowed to move here and there without the permission of the oldest one, who being the most experienced, was their leader. (Unlike our society or families, where the more educated and talented young fellows regard themselves as the guides and dont feel shy in ignoring or even insulting the elders). A pregnant female-elephant was lying inside the boundary. She was about to deliver a baby. On the guidance of the leader, 5-6 experienced females of the group entered the circle for her help. Soon the baby elephant was
born. Some of the nurse elephants took care of the baby and others of the mother. They did all the job of cleaning and feeding both the newborn and his mother. Everyone else also remained on duty till the latter was comfortable enough to stand and walk slowly after about three hours. It was indeed remarkable to note the organization, mutual affinity and cooperation among the elephants. How often would we see or offer such altruist, unpaid help for a lonely woman in our vicinity? The African bird Kiwi, is another teacher for those people who get perplexed or anxious whenever they encounter an adversity or trouble in their family life. It also sets an example for man to follow in his sexual relationships. Kiwi is very careful and cautious in having sex. It is very concerned about moral etiquette in its family and therefore disciplines its own behavior first. It maintains graceful relations with its mate and gets involved in the carnal intimacy only in private, taking care that no one sees that shameful act. It always protects its mate and the family. When the female lays eggs it remains there for her support and fosters the eggs efficiently. It has to take care of the egg for eighty days. By the time the baby-kiwi come out and it begins to enjoy the moment of becoming a father, the female lays another egg. But it doesnt perturb the male. It again starts the eighty days project with equal sincerity. At times when several eggs are laid (one after the other at a span of eighty days or so), it has to continue performing this devout duty for years. Look at its endurance, its loyalty and devotion to its responsibilities. How many of us, in the ambience of all round obscenity, are so careful about protecting the moral norms in our families today? How many would have been so duty-bond towards raising the children, had the process of childbirth and growth been so timeconsuming and testing? The social system designed by the rishis (Indian seers and sages of the vedic times) was perfect in terms of the virtuous development of the individuals, happy families and society. Here, the Brahmcharya Ashram
12
was set for the acquisition of education towards the overall development of the personality, gaining knowledge of the Self and of the world around, professional skills for respectable, self-reliant, livelihood, and essential
training for becoming a responsible adult member of the society. It was only after a successful completion of this phase that one was allowed to marry an appropriate (with respect to the compatibility of their virtuous background and training during the Brahmcharya Ashram) match of his/her liking. Marriage was a sacred institution for the couple to live together in kind co-operation and with industriousness for mutual uplifting and happiness, along with making due contributions for the peace, progress and happiness of the society.
Page 16
The sanctity of the marriage institution, and healthy, respectful relationship between men and women in all walks of life must be revived in the modern era too, if we are to retain our pride of being the gifted children of God, being the most intelligent and emotionally evolved species and the crown of the living beings on this earth. Unrestrained Pleasure: Lessons from Nature Apart from the obvious evil effects like explosive population growth and health hazards, the most dangerous though latent harm of sexual profligacy and related unrestrained acts for mere sensual pleasure lies in causing mental sickness and severe psychosomatic disabilities resulting from hormonal imbalances. That unrestrained sexual involvement is detrimental in all respects is clearly cautioned in the quote: maraam bindu ptena jvanam bindu dhraam. Nature reminds us of this warning via the live examples in the animal kingdom. Some western psychologists and other scientists have argued in favor of unrestrained sex as natural for humans. Because, in their view, as no rules abide the sexual activities in other creatures in Natures magic box, man too, being an (social) animal be allowed this freedom. It looks like they have not studied the animal population closely. The sex-element in these creatures is mainly used for reproduction. Unlike the humans, they lack in multiple expressions (kals) of kma. The natural tendencies of most of the mighty members of the animal kingdom are quite disciplined and they have sex only when inspired by Nature to grow their population. Many of the tinier ones having excess of it ruin their lives much sooner. Nature has its own system of penalizing those crossing the limits.
Each of the male seals ends its own life struggling with other males of its community for a mere possession of more females to fulfil its lust. A stout male holds nearly 40 to 50 females in its possession. Its carnal lust still remains excited and he keeps attacking the other male-seal whenever he sees a new, young female in the latters hold. He suffers double wounds of this licentious tendency. Apart from burning its own energy in excessive sex, it keeps getting injured in the struggle with the other males in their combating cravings for female-seals. By the time the three months season allotted by Nature for sex and reproductive activities to this species is over, the male-seals are totally devoid of physical strength. They are not in a position to even collect their food. They have to suffer abominable, untimely death as a consequence of their unchecked sexual lust. On the contrary, there are many species in Nature, that live in groups of several males and female together but none of the males get sexually attracted towards any female except for one single mate, that too on rare occasions inspired by Nature in the appropriate season. Elephant is known to be quite wiser among the wild population. They live in herds. The head of a herd is the only male member who owns the right to have sexual intercourse with all the female members of the herd. He has to face self-triggered struggles and wars and lose much of his might, because of this peculiar lusty tendency and autocratic possession. A sexual desire or related expressions shown by any other male member often leads to his serious fight with the herd-leader. The latter, if defeated, usually becomes mad and dangerous for the life of others too. Similar insanity is shown by the sexually excited scorpion couples who dance a lot during this process and the female, in her excitation, often attacks and eats off the male. Some people think having sex with the beloved female companion pleases and attracts her more towards the male. But this is an illusion imposed by their own passions. The reality is just the opposite. Soon the female realizes that her body is being crushed and squeezed to satisfy the carnal-lust in the name of love. She begins to hate him and even becomes aggressive against him at times. As warned in the quote maraam bindu ptena, jvanam bindu dhraam, illicit, excessive sex is an apparent call for all round detriment and untimely death. The concupiscence of male frog-fish is a live illustration of this fact. While the female frog-fish remains calm, her male, being impatient and lewd like many men gets over-excited and runs behind her. In its lusty
insanity, it buries its teeth in the females flesh and is unable to take them out after few seconds of the carnal joy of sex. Apart from injuring the mate, it obviously becomes a handicap without the teeth. It is unable to eat anything and has to die of starving within few days. The cry of cats and bitter grinning of the monkeys express the maddening excitation of sexual desire in them. Concupiscence triggers a Porcupine jump haphazardly. It even forgets about eating, sleeping and keeps running and jumping with small wood pieces in her mouth. A snake clasped with its female during sex becomes over possessive and emotionally charged, it doesnt tolerate any disturbance at that
Page 17
time; if it even experiences someone looking at it from a long distance, it retaliates with a murderous attack on the former, while risking its own life. A male ostrich usually has sexual relation with more than one female. He keeps all (around 7-8) of them with equal care and looks after the eggs and baby ostriches born by all of them. It looks as though he is born only for producing and fostering the offsprings. Those men whose cravings, thoughts and attempts remain confined to sensual lust and those whose life also revolves around the above activities should also be put in the category of an species like the ostrich bird or the seal fish rather than being counted as humans. Lusty men are no less wild than these animals. Do they deserve to be a part of a civilized human society? The natural season for copulation in the deers is full of frivolous, bloody fights amongst the males, as they have to have an head-on collision with their competitors while selecting a female. Their horns break, bodies get wounded and smashed; they are even killed at times in this passion of having a sex at any cost. The female deers neutrally watch this combative struggle and, in the end, present themselves to the service of the winner without shedding any tears for the dead or the injured defeated ones. The male eagles also have to undergo a peculiar fight with the females who have given mating invitation to them; this drains off most of their strength even if they are able to survive the pleasure of mating later. Similar is the case with many other animals and birds whose mutual fights in the excitation towards gaining the sexual company of the counterpart often turns out to be fatal.
Marine zoological research in the 1950s had revealed some significant facts about the angler fish. The male members with a rare survival-rate as compared to that of the females are just one-tenth of the average size, a mere 4 inches as compared to the 40 inches size of the latter. This lascivious creature literally survives on the blood of its female host and is therefore, according to the laws of Nature, bound to live an underdeveloped life of a parasite. Dont the profligate persons also invite similar fate by their licentious sex-indulgence? The dwarf existence of the male Anglerfish also explains the cause of our negligible existence on the map of progressive and developed world. What else one could expect for the male-dominated societies like ours (Indian) surviving on exploitation of females? From where did this inhumane tendency enter our society? The answer to this may also be found from the research on anglerfish, which revealed that the lethargic, comfort loving nature and cravings of the male angler are behind his sinful, abominable conduct. Howsoever pulling and appealing, the pleasure and amorous thrill of sex might appear at the outset, it holds nothing except the pernicious seeds of decline, loss and destruction. It is like the beautiful wild flower found in Africa which attracts the birds by its soothing fragrance and looks. It slowly starts shrinking its petals as soon as a bird sits on it. It soon captures the bird tightly in its folds, by the time the latter realizes this, its sharp thrones hidden inside would have pinched him. The bird cant even attempt flying out. Soon the thrones sip all his blood and release the victim in (almost) dead state. Importance of Continence: The Paradise fish found in China releases bubbles of a jell-like sticky liquid. It gathers them jointly to make a compact town of these bubble houses. It then starts laying its eggs and continues sending them in these protected shelters one after the other; thus expanding its own population. The bubbles are so well stuck and guarded by it that there is no place for escape for any one. The web of my has also expanded itself by creating enormous forms of bodies for the existence of the jva in this world. It makes all arrangement and takes all measures to let the jva remain engulfed in this creation. Rare are those who endeavor and even succeed in breaking this sheath of my. Alligator Snapper, found in America is known for its wile slyness. Its face resembles that of a tortoise. It moves its tongue outward so artfully as though a piece of flash is floating freely. The fishes, which get attracted and come to catch this tongue fall prey to it and reach straight in the snappers mouth. This is what happens to the jva that is attracted by the illusive charm of cravings and joy of the senseorgans It takes birth in this world and is gulped by death again and again.. Only a few beatified sages, who recognize the passions of the sense-organs as pertaining to the gross body alone and realize the true desire of the soul distinctly, can detach and get liberated from this thralldom.
Crocodiles lie still, like a rock or a dead animal. As soon as a fish or any other organism reaches near by, it grabs and gulps them in no time. Our sense organs are no less crafty. These naturally appear to be nothing more than immovable parts of the body. They would indeed remain only tools for the jva, if the latter keeps due caution and care to keep
Page 18
away from their delusive grip. Most of us remain ignorant of their power and pay no attention to what we eat, watch, read, or do in our routine in general. Once we commit the mistake of incontinence, our otherwise dead sense-organs get alive and stimulated and grab us in the hold of their everincreasing thirst. It is then too difficult, almost impossible to come out of the net of their cravings. This is why the sane seers adopt and advise self-restrain and moral disciplines in every moment, every act of life. This is what is the secret of their attaining and protecting their powers, potentials, talents and respectful accomplishment. Grasshopper happens to be the principle food of the European Sparrow. But how could the tiny bird catch it? Well, it hides itself in a corner and starts mimicking the voice of a grasshopper and sends eager calls. Poor grasshopper reaches there in response and finds himself caught by the bird. The call of our cravings is equally deceptive. We cant make out that these are only the passions of our sense organs, of the gross body, of the mind enslaved by its pleasure, and not of our soul our true self. The jva in us continues to satisfy their thirst under this illusion and keeps harming its own self. One who understands the game of my and remains distant and insulated from its ever expanding and delusive folds is wise, thoughtful and sagacious, and true devotee of the soul. Only his life could be fulfilling and successful in absolute in reality. Spiritual literature describes the attachment to the pleasures of the five sense organs as a major obstacle in the freedom of the soul. The control of the tongue and the sensual pleasure of the sex-organs are found to be of the utmost importance because these senses are considered to be the most sensitive and strong in terms of the unbounded limits of the burning desires associated with them.... Unless disciplined by determined will, these senses would ruin the dignity and life of their master the human being. A small battalion of German soldiers, sent to Poland had secretly started a terrorist attack, which in no
time spread across Europe and embraced the whole world in the worst ever event of the 20
th
Century The second world war. The great powers of the world had to surrender before the newly emerged might of the German emperor. The world was stunned to note that France, known to be the second biggest power of the world after Great Britain those days, had accepted defeat and was going to surrender unconditionally in front of the Fascist of Germany. France alone was the country other than the United Kingdom which had colonial expansion up to far east, in south Asia and in several parts of the North and South America. The nation, which was the mother of Napoleon, the country which had transformed the shape of political system across the globe by the historic French Revolution, had become so meek and helpless? It was indeed an stunning event for the whole world. As the records of world history reveal, it didnt take long for the thinkers to discover the causes of this upside down fate of that nation. Excessive comforts, incontinence and luxurious attitude of the French people those days had drained all its power, the organized power of the masses had gone with their lust for woman and wine. The scientific tools of prevention of pregnancy had become a boon for aggravating their lust. Colossal amount of wines was fueling it further. How could the country that was supplying almost three-quarter of the worlds demand of expensive wines remain insulated from this intoxicating craze? It was not so much the might or intrepidity and cruelty of the Germans, rather the self-induced decline and self-invited infirmities of the French, which was responsible for their tragic defeat. History has ample examples evincing the downfall of the empires and civilizations because of unrestricted cravings, cozy attitude and lavish life-style. Our country too had suffered similar fate during the dark, declining phase of rtikla (the erotic age) in the medieval times, which had waned our ancient glory, maligned our culture and put us in the tyrannical folds of all round slavery. The real power of a nation lies in the moral conduct and patriotic integrity of its citizens. The eminent strength of morality could be cultivated and expanded by the mutually supporting behavioral principles of spirituality described as tapa, brahmcarya, continence, integrity, disciplined and constructive use of kma, etc in the Indian Philosophy. The Indian science of spirituality has been teaching since ages that avoidance of unrestricted dissipation and degeneration of kma bestows and preserves distinct vibhtis

. Self-restrain provides the
only key to reach this treasure. Iron or gold do not gain their value unless heated, melted and purified in red-hot furnace. Similar tapa is essential for refinement of personality too. Nothing significant could be achieved in life without self-restrain and tapa. Living an incontinent life is like milking a cow in a broken pot; no milk could ever be collected this way, instead, the drops fallen down from the holes would even dirty the cloths of the milkman. Incontinence leads to dissipation of all the stored, inherited potentials and
Page 19
qualities and also makes one suffer the evil consequences of the misuse of the available resources and abilities. Meghnad had gained immense strength by adopting chastity for a longtime despite being married. He could not have been defeated by any one except Lakshamana, who too had observed ascetic brahmcaraya during his fourteen years of exile in the forests. The latter was able to attain divine weapons because of the radiance of this tapa. Only Shrangi Rishi was able to guide the putrei yagya for King Dasharatha. No other rishi could generate that unfailing power of specific mantras of this yagya, which he could because of his life-long unperturbed continence and tapacary. It was only after succeeding in selfrestrain against the amorous offer of the heavenly beauty Urwashi, that Arjuna could be blessed by the divine bow Gwa. The great Maratha King Shivaji is know for his intrepidity and piety of character. Once, a young charming woman from the defeated enemys camp was brought before him; he not only treated her with respect like a mother, but also arranged for her safe return. It was only because of this moral dignity that he could receive the beatified sward from Bhavani. Consistency in continence and adoption of high moral values is the major criteria of qualifying for the boons of God. Adoption of brahmcarya had endowed Swami Dayanand with tremendous physical and mental strength. He had once prevented the locked horn fight between two stout raging oxen, by simply holding their horns in one hand each and pushing them apart. Pushing and stopping a fast running horse-cart (including the royal one with many trained horses) from the front was a childs play for him. Edmund Hillary, the pioneer of climbing the Everest, had also attempted the adventure of boating from Ganga Sagar to Deva
Prayaga, against the flow of river Ganges. Then an Indian yogi had stopped his speedy boat of 100 horsepower by tying and pulling it with a thin rope. Despite all efforts from the other end, the boat could not move even a inch ahead even though its engine remained switched on. Gandhari had vowed to remain blind after being married to a blind man; she kept her eyes closed by tying a cloth over them. Her determined tapa aroused supernatural power in her eyesight. She opened them just for a moment to bless her son Duryodhana. The radiance of her eyesight had made the open portion of the latters body stout like iron, foolproof against all attacks. It was indeed the power of their brahmacarya that nurtured divine potentials and talents in Hanumana, Bhisham and Shankarcarya. Ample number of more live examples of this sort, evince that glorious exaltation of life, achievement of something worth its dignity would be possible only if the vile, downward tendencies are restrained completely and the vital energies and the inner powers are protected carefully. A deviation and diversion from this righteous path could vitiate and decline even the highly empowered and talented ones. Abhimanyus conversation with his wife Uttara as narrated in the Mahabharata, indicates that just few days before the war, he broke the discipline of brahmcarya in the passion of having a child. This was the major cause of his failure in breaking the cakravyuha of the Kaurava on the fateful day. Had he not committed this flaw, he would have been victorious, as he himself and everyone around had rightly expected. King Nahusha was offered the thrown of heavens after accomplishing the grand tapa for this purpose. However, he invited his own denigration by falling prey to the allurement of celestial damsels. He soon ruined the invaluable attainments and fell into miserable ends by becoming a snake. The prestigious king Yayati faced scorn and hatred in history in the later days because of his excessive lust and eagerness to retain the youthfulness for the carnal pleasures. King Pandus attempts of sex, against the warning of the doctors due to his physical sickness, became the cause of his untimely death. The super-strong king Ravana, who was known to have won over the laws of time, met an abject end because of his incontinence at the root of all his sins. Several other demons and giants have also faced humiliating, sinful, devastation of their mighty lives because on the same grounds. Bhasmasuras fascination for Parvati, when the latter appeared as the glamorous dancer Mohini, became the cause of his blunder of inflaming himself into ashes. Sunda and Upsunda killed each other in their battle for a pretty damsel. Lack of mental control, unrestrained cravings, and negligence of brahmcarya were the major causes of the fall and extinction of the demons, the devil giants, despite their hard ascetic endeavors of
tapa in the early days and enormous potentials and prosperity gained thereby. Had they been selfrestrained and chaste and followed the moral path of magnanimity, they might have been superior to the devats. Defiance of divine disciplines, evasion of the norms of morality, lusty passions and incontinent consumption of resources, are the insidious tendencies and sinful acts that convert the boons into curses. The above examples of history apply to the modern times too. The countries like USA, Japan, Germany, France, Sweden, etc, rushing zealously in combative race for materialistic prosperity, have slowly realized
Page 20
the negative effects of their consumerized, luxury driven culture in the general decay and degradation of the physical and mental strength of their people. They have also taken several measures to improve the social ambience and mode of living to some extent. These were the countries where free-sex, eroticism and unrestrained individualism was prevalent as the mass motto until a decade ago. The theory of Sigmond Freud had only laid the foundation, but the followers of Neo-Freudism had advocated incontinence in the name of freedom and propagated it extensively as the basis of rise in human life. We all have witnessed the detrimental consequences. Depraving lust, which had crushed only France into its teeth, had, by the end the twentieth century entrapped the entire world into its folds. Nude colonies, homosexual congregations, gay culture, the spread of the deadly AIDS and intractable psychosomatic disorders, broken families, shattered societies and growing trends of crimes in the childhood, etc are evidential landmarks of the cultural perversion and ethical death of the human race. It is indeed a matter of great concern, shame and pity that this cultural pollution and denigration of values has also spread rapidly as a wave of modernity and progress in a country like India the originator of the philosophy of tapa-sdhan, the dedicated follower of moral disciplines and continence.. Those who can think of tomorrow, those who care for the future generations, should come forward and demonstrate the ideal examples of the truly forward-looking people in their own lives. The best gift the
parents today could bestow upon their children is to engage themselves consistently in the great endeavor of self-refinement and cultivation of virtuous tendencies. Restrain from erotic thinking and carnal lust and prevention of drainage and misuse of the potentials is naturally the first requirement in this regard. Swdhyya-Satsanga, pilgrimage and different kinds of sdhans are devised to facilitate enlightened development of personality and inculcation of divine values in human life. These must have an integral place in our lives too. A pregnant mother is advised and helped to maintain a calm and happy mood, as this is essential for vigorous growth of the foetus (child). The children born and grown in a positive and pure ambience alone could be hoped to be the kinds every parent, every society, every nation would be proud of. Control and elimination of depraving culture and eroticism is the first and the crucial step to be followed by each one of us, at individual, familial and social levels.
Extraordinary Linkage Between the Feminine and Masculine Elements

The brain and the genitals are two vital sources of energy in the human body. Their respective roles in governing the functions of the body are similar to those of the Geo-north pole and the Geo- south pole in regulating the gravitational motion and the natural structure of the earth. The brain controls the nervous system and is the source of (clinical) consciousness in the body and mind. The lower pole, the genital organ is also empowered with biomagnetic and bioelectrical energy; its proper functioning is responsible for the normal maintenance of ligaments and hormones too. Any deficiency or disturbance of the brain functions might trigger insanity or paralyze the body. Equally importantly, any damage or adulteration in the seeds of kma in the mldhrawould disrupt all endocrine operations and the biochemical and physiological processes driven by them. Healthy state and optimally balanced utilization of both together are required for auto regulation of the overall functions of the body and mind ranging from metabolism to psychological vigor and creativity. The importance of brain and its proper control is well known and the latter is commonly attempted by everybody by means of calmness, positive thinking, sound-sleep, recreational activities ... etc. However, little or almost no attention is paid for protecting the genitals from over-excitation, frictions and unusual and wasteful secretions....,
Nature has protected the brain in the hard and strong covering of the skull. Only the acceptance of internal (from ones own body and mind) effects and transmission of conscious bio-electrical signals are allowed from this precious organ. Thoughts and emotions influence its functioning. The brain (and the mind) control the functioning of the gross body and shape the course of ones life too. One therefore needs to endeavor cultivating and maintaining the healthy functioning and excelling of the brain and eminent trenchancy of the mind. Learning, deep knowledge, constructive thinking, mental creativity etc are practised for this purpose. Allowing the mind to remain agile, to adopt unauspicious, amoral thinking or to follow the durbuddhi
14
, in
Page 21
other words means ruining all possibilities of refinement and progress, obscuring the future forever and slipping on the adverse path of steep decline. The brain is regarded as the core of individual consciousness and the soul-experience. The brahmrandhras, the inlets of the extrasensory energy center sahastrra (cakra) in the human brain are likened in the Puranas to the Kra-Sgara where Lord Vishnu is consecrated. This cakra is the source of all the natural and supernatural powers and talents. Because the sublime channels of the brahmrandhras enable cosmic transmission and divine communication, the brain is also referred as the upper pole of the human body. The counterpart of the upper pole is no less important. This center (the lower pole) at the genital organ is not created only for excretion or for dirty, lustful indulgence. Rather, it has been endowed, in the seed form, with enormous potentials of vigor and vitality. This part of the body has been provided with the soft and protective surroundings of the thighs and the belly to suit its delicacy. By this fine arrangement, the Nature conveys that this tender and sensitive organ should be used with special care and caution. This pole serves the multiple purposes of absorbing and balancing the (bio)electrical impulses of the brain and creating appropriate biomagnetic currents along with filtering out the harmful waste from the body. The sublime energy nucleus
(mldhra) of this pole is the source of youthfulness, charm, humor, zeal, creativity activity and longevity. Physical friction or stimulation of the sex organs should be avoided maximally in order to maintain the natural powers of this pole. This pole (and hence the genital organ) should also be given due care and respect vis--vis the brain. The pra of the masculine sex and the rayi of the feminine sex are respectively like the potential and kinetic forms of the vital energy; their latent powers are also referred in the spiritual literature as agni and soma. The physical manifestation of these opposite powers generates the positive and negative (bio)electrical currents. The mutual complementarity of their psychological manifestations is remarkable in human life. The somewhat abnormal development of the personality of a man (or a woman) who has never had any familial or social contact/ encounter with any woman (or man) easily demonstrates this effect. This mutual psychological dependence is indeed the key to a successful married life; the married couples should realize its importance and avoid misusing its power in unrestrained sexual indulgence. The description about several wives of Lord Krishna or the five husbands of Draupadi and similar other stories cited in the ancient scriptures are often subjected to derogatory criticism by the sociologists and other intellectuals of our times..... It should be noted here that the said characters are allegorical; they depict different spiritual powers and not the mortal human beings... Even if one tries to see these characters as historical figures then he/she should note that they belonged to the society of yore where everybody was spiritually awakened and hence the material or bodily pleasures or physical relations or desires naturally had no place in their lives. In medieval and modern history one finds existence of some social customs allowing a man to have several wives. For example, it became common in some parts of Germany after the world wars because the drastic fall in the number of young men as compared to that of the women. The brothers of family used to have a common wife (usually the lady married to eldest brothers) in some villages near the Himalayan valley of Dehardun, until a few decades ago. It should be noted that such systems are local and are the results of
peculiar socio-political or geographical circumstances (e.g. sharp reduction in the male population during the wars or high mortality of women and children during an epidemic etc....). Such arrangements/customs are viable and acceptable to the human society only till the causes of their origin remain alive, or till the sacred relation of husband and wife is kept away from carnal lust. It should be remembered again that it is the illicit lust, the concupiscence, the erogenous desire that is bad and corrupts the dignity and healthy normalcy of the association, relationship or interaction between man and woman. The erotic attitude would anyway be dangerous (from medical point of view as well) even for the faithful pairs of one manone woman as husband and wife. The customs of polygamy and polyandry are therefore bound to fade away in any society in due course of time. Compatibility and Discipline in Sex Relation: Biological contact between the two sexes involves the flow of their mutual vital energies from higher levels to the lower ones. Thus, apart from the obvious danger of the contagious effects, the sexual intercourse also amounts to the lowering of the mental and spiritual abilities of the better partner in the pair. It is therefore
Page 22
advisable that the criteria for matching between a pair of would-be husband and wife be mainly based on the mutual compatibility of their cultural, psychological and spiritual levels and vital energies instead of a mere comparison between the physical looks and/or social status. People with strong will-power, vigor and extraordinary mental faculties and talents should be more careful about preserving their vital energies because they are more likely to lose them by naturally transmitting them to their counterparts during a sexual intercourse. Even for a perfect (with respect to the mutual compatibilities of the vital energies) pair, as mentioned earlier, a sexual contact would always account for a loss in the physical as well as the subtle form of the vital energies (pra) of both the individuals. Obvious consequences of this loss include reduction in brilliance, memory, intelligence, liveliness, stability, decision making and firmness of mind, immunity, other physical abilities and health in general. Sexual indulgence
should therefore be kept to a minimum. Sexual excitation or erotic feelings are likely to attack every one in todays undisciplined and morally polluted atmosphere. However, those with good self-control and sincere faith in the moral values would not find it difficult to get rid of these by instantaneous diversion of mind and determined efforts to prevent the recurrence of such possibilities. When the addiction of alcohol and narcotics could be gotten rid of, there is no reason why the intoxicating lure of sensuality couldnt be pacified and remolded Under no circumstances should a sexual intercourse occur without the willingness and healthy status (of mind and body) of both the partners. Any kind of imbalance or abnormality in this activity affects the nervous system negatively. The common psychosomatic diseases like insomnia, migraine, epilepsy, forgetfulness, hysteria, whimsical, or short-tempered mind etc......, as well as some diseases pertaining to various kinds of cardiac malfunctioning are among some minor manifestations of such imbalances. It should always be emphasized that the spiritual component, the latent energy of the sex element, is more important than the contact of the genital organs in making the married life contented and happy. Practising purity of thoughts and sentiments, dedicating efforts towards the improvement of each others overall personality, mutual trust and friendly co-operation, with healthy humor and entertainment are necessary for the nurturing of love and affection between the life partners. The physical, mental and spiritual health of a child depends largely on the healthy and harmonious coupling of the vital energies of his/ her parents. A mismatch in this regard may at times result in contagious diseases or abnormalities in the offspring. Birth of a child is indeed an important event in the lives of the parents and preparation for its occurrence should begin only after a conscious decision by both the parents at an appropriate time during their disciplined married life. Along with the consideration of all the worldly consequences and duties, a thorough self-analysis by the foresighted parents is a must whenever they plan to have an offspring. Sexual intercourse should preferably be performed as a scientific experiment towards reproduction after such preparations. A determined and faithful effort in this regard would definitely bless the parents with a virtuous, trenchant, healthy baby as per their plans. Constructive Use of the Bioelectrical Effects of Kma:
In the views of physiologists and psychologist, the association between two men or two women is not so effective in arousal and development of otherwise dormant potentials, as that of a man and a woman. Healthy alliance and mutually beneficial support between a compatible pair of man and woman is the main spirit behind marriage. Husband and wife, living together as good friends, sharing the joys and responsibilities with mutual encouragement and enthusiasm would erect a fulfilling life, supplementing the psychological and inner incompleteness of each other, even without having any sexual intercourse. It is difficult to decipher what mystery lies behind the incompleteness of a human being, that he/she often feels so happy and encouraged in the company of the opposite sex. The intimacy and mutual trust of the husband and wife for each other induces a rare sense of confidence, certainty and satisfaction in life, which cannot be experienced by a single man or woman despite possessing enough wealth and power. The invisible emptiness of lonely life is removed by getting a life-partner after marriage. The feeling that the latter would understand and offer amicable support at every step of life exalts ones self-confidence and mental peace in married life. Thus, apart from offering the possibility of sublime power-generation by absolute association with the opposite sex, marriage also effectuates a strong psychological boost, which enhances the hope and chance for a brighter future in ones life.
Page 23
Physical attraction and intimacy, or sexual indulgence is of no significance in the married life. Although, there is nothing wrong in having it within the norms of propriety and sanctity of the marriage institution, it should not be mistaken as a must. By all measures of wisdom and sane maturity, erotic attraction can never be the basis of love and happy married life. Many young boys and girls today, go for the looks and physical charm while selecting a bride or a bridegroom. Little do they realize that the glaze of beauty is not long-
lasting, neither is the attraction towards it is stable. The agile and flirt mind could always be pulled by someone more glamorous and charming! The radiance of complexion or shape and looks of features and fitness of body could certainly be appreciated, these may be important in show business, movies and theaters. However, these have no significant role to play in the success and the fulfilling joy of marriage. The latter depends upon mutual understanding and cultural, psychological and emotional compatibility. The depths of sentiments, the morality and authenticity of deeds and character of a person do not depend upon his or her physical appearance. There could be a witchs heart in the silvery beauty of a prostitute, a sober looking, handsome actor of a play could be a beastly man in reality. Whereas, an ugly man like Chanakya could be an eminent thinker and a visionary, a physically deformed Ashtavarkra could be a great yogi, a most ordinary, dark-skinned girl could be all talented and kind hearted like Draupadi We do come across with several such examples in our surroundings too. We have to be cautious and thoughtful in selecting our friends and allies at schools, at work, in every walk of life. Then, how could we let ourselves cheated by the illusion of the eyes, in making such an important decision like marriage? Not, only physical appearance, the high academic achievements, musical voice and other talents could also at times be the only qualities of a person; but these alone could not be the criteria for one being the most suitable husband or wife. Physical beauty and charm is often assumed to be necessary for satisfactory sex and joyous sustenance of married life. This again is illusory. Scientifically speaking, sexual intercourse is a process of reversion of the bio-electrical energies of the interacting bodies. The genital is the source of this electricity, which is generated as soon as this organ is stimulated by the contact of the oppositely charged counterpart. The attraction between the two opposite charges is responsible for the feeling of physical satisfaction during sexual activity; this enjoyment is more in the young bodies because of the excess of vital energy (pra) at that age. People should think twice before getting driven by concupiscence that it is like a slow poison. Copulaiton gives nothing except a momentary titillation to the excited genitals and consumes and dissipates lot of precious vital energy. A couple should develop a healthy attitude and have sex carefully and under specific norms, e.
g., only for the purpose of having a child with mutual consent. Having sex despite the unwillingness of the partner is a rape, even if happens between a husband and a wife. It is more pernicious in terms of the subtle disturbances and degradation of vitality at the psychological and spiritual levels as well. The coupling and reaction of the sex-elements leads to the reversing flow of the bio-electric currents of pra and rayi or agni and soma. This process involves the mutual transfer of the more powerful virtues as well as the evils of the involved individuals. It is therefore necessary to perform such interactions scientifically with due care. Needless to say that the subtle effects of such contacts with characterless, lustful person(s) are far more disastrous than the obvious physical (e.g. infection) and social harms. The process of generation and absorption of vital currents by the conjugation of agni and soma is quite subtle. While those trapped in the crafty amour of the prostitutes, loose their vital energy, the latter consume it skillfully; this is how they maintain their charm and smartness despite having excessive sex, living in a condition in which an ordinary, married woman might fall ill and even die untimely. The prostitutes, being experts in the latent art of sex, know how to squeeze the vital element of kma from the vigorous clients and how to tactfully protect their own vital energy from the weak and diseased ones. The bio-electrical flow in the physical body is at its peak in the youths. However, this is not all. The bodyenergy is insignificant as compared to the real reservoir of pra (vital spiritual energy) and its bioelectrical power endowed in ones brain and heart. A physically stout and good-looking fellow would prove to be infirm in many respects, if he lacks in mental strength and willpower. An elderly person or a physically weaker and ugly man or woman, on the contrary could be full of pra and excellent mental foundation and inner character. It is this sublime source of pra that is protected, refined and empowered by the disciplines of brahmcarya.
Page 24
Brahmcarya is recommended for people of all ages, of all physical, mental and spiritual status. It is of paramount importance for those endowed with greater vigor, mental trenchancy and spiritual power, as they are at a greater risk of losing their vital energy (pra) to the lower levels of their partners in the process of sex. Man and woman could offer maximum benefit to each other in married life by elevated levels of their pra, if they both follow brahmacarya. This is what is worth the value of kma hidden in their sexelements. The joy of the carnal process of sex is negligible and far inferior against the blissful support, strength and radiance offered by intimate association of a couple in the shelter of brahmacarya. Continence in reproduction is good for the parents and the children both. Impotency, barren uterus and high risk of abortions or dead babies, are common consequences of lewdness. Licentious parents can only produce weak, mentally dumb or under developed offspring.. The vitality of the sperm and ovum is required for reproduction of stout, healthy and mentally sharp progeny. This vigor of the sex-elements could be achieved only through elevated levels of pra preserved by self-restrain. The married couples should practice sex as a scientific experiment to be performed after due preparation and high purpose of giving birth to a healthy, bright and mentally strong child. Sex should not be treated as a free means of vulgar entertainment and fulfillment of carnal lust.. Spiritually aware and enlightened husband and wife could also cautiously have sex as an experiment of the sublime science of kma to transmute, multiply and elevate each others pra by transfusion of the bio-electrical currents of their mutually supplementary sex-elements. Devout adoption of brahmcarya is essential to acquire such potentials. The binding and reactions of masculine and feminine sex-elements resulting in the production of a gamete is like a chemical conjugation at gross level; this also involves the exchange or fusion of the bio-energy of pra. There also exist sublime kinds of transfer, linkage, processing, or transmutation of pra that work at mental and spiritual levels. For example, by aktipta, a spiritually empowered noble guru may bestow his talents, strength and sagacity upon a deserving disciple. The schoolteachers or professors may at the most educate their students with enormous knowledge and sharpen their specific talent by training. But only spiritually elevated gurus and expert yogis can accomplish aktipta.
aktipta is a process of spiritual transmission of the vital spiritual energy and vigor. Live examples of this spiritual transmutation in the modern era include Swami Ramakrishnas aktipta on Narendra that made the latter Vivekananda an ideal and exponent of enlightened prudence and divine bliss in human life. Saktipat of Chankya on Chandra Gupta founded the beginning of a post-vedic golden era in India by enabling Chandra Gupta become a mighty emperor and the architect of a strong, united India. The bio-electrical energy currents in the body are controlled by those generated in the brain; the intensity and effectiveness of the latter actually depends upon the psychological and spiritual levels of the consciousness. Adoption of brahmcarya, moral conduct and dedicated efforts towards the refinement and strengthening of the vigor and virtuous tendencies of the self and of the life-partner could make the transfusion and mutually beneficial linkage of bio-electrical energies of sex-elements as sacred and purposeful a process as that of aktipta. This would be like conversion of a deadly poison into a life-saving drug by rigorous refinement and sublimation by adept scientific processing in due course. The uplifted conscious levels of the parents and their determination to consider the bio-electrical interactions during copulation as a controlled scientific experiment on the transfusion of their vital energies (pra) would lead to a kind of a aktipta on the resulting embryo.... Preparations for such an experiment would be no less than a sdhan and cant be commenced without willful continence. The conjunction of feminine and masculine energy currents of kma is a great phenomenon in Nature. It is entirely in the hands of the two sexes whether to bear the detrimental consequences of sexual excitation and drainage of vigor triggered by unchecked cravings and carnal lust or be wise and cautious to benefit from the controlled and sane, scientific utilization of this process. This will not only ensure their own good and wellbeing of their family, but also contribute to the welfare the society as a whole.
Mental Energy Controls Sex-Energy

Page 25
The writings of the Indian sages of yore refer the power of sex as manoja or manasij which literally means
born from and within the mind. They had thus recognized it long ago that concupiscence is not a result of physical activity or excitations; rather, its roots lie in the mind. It is therefore the disciplining of the mind, which has been emphasized by them in self-restrain. The yoga sdhans of controlling the sense organs also begin with an appropriate training of the mind. If one determines to restrain the agility and abrupt cravings of his mind, it would not be difficult for him to observe physical and mental chastity even in the young age, by due orientation of his mind towards creative talents, constructive thinking, austere life-style, divine devotion and altruist service etc. On the contrary, if one manages to observe physical chastity but is unable to restrain the mental excitations and interest in erotic passions, he would never get the benefits of brahmcarya adored in the scriptures of yoga sdhans. The findings of the modern medical and psychological sciences have also shown that it is the mental impulse and not the body-physique, appearance or physiology which mainly governs the sexual stimulation and indulgence. Several hormones secreted by the pituitary gland regulate the physiological and biochemical processes associated with sexual stimulation and consequent response of the genitals. According to the specialists like Dr. Harmanschen and Dr. Khrushchenk, the psychological conditioning and internal mental state is responsible for initiating (or stopping) the secretion and growth of these hormones. The research findings of Dr. T. Wendt of the Chicago Institute of Psychoanalysis and the experiments of the noted Biochemists like Dr. Rune Steve have shown strong correlation between a womans psychology and the secretion of the hormones regulating the menstrual cycle. Unusual changes such as erotic excitation, irritation, aggressiveness, or, depression, etc., of varied degrees are often seen in the psychological behavior of the women during and around the time of their menses. Dr. N.N. Geoffreys paper in the Medical News Tribune, a weekly published from London, had elucidated the effect of light and heat on (the excitation of certain sensitive glands) giving rise to early signs of puberty in several mammals. Another British weekly, entitled Lancet had published a report inferring that the gradual rise in the temperature of England since several decades has resulted in early puberty in the girls.
Their menstruation begins on an average by the time they are about nine years nine months or so. After the early research on the effects of climatic and physico-chemical (including thermodynamic and optical) conditions on the level of growth hormone, age of puberty etc., the advanced research on the biochemistry of sexual behavior has focused its attention on its neuro-physiological and bioelectrical effects. Significant observations have been made on the changes in the neuronal electricity with respect to different states (e.g., during aggression, erotic thinking, romantic moods, depression, humorous moods, normal moods, deep meditation etc) of the mind. It has been found that the neuronal electrical impulses stimulate secretion of different hormones; amorous and erotic moods are found to increase such bioelectrical effects on sexual hormonal activation; the normal moods or engagement in creative activity have shown bioelectrical currents of different types....; during deep meditation, the excitation of these electrical activities is reduced to the minimum and entirely new kinds of neurotransmitters and hormones are recorded. Thorough practices of yoga and meditation (for selfrealization) allow one to increase or reduce the amount of hormones like dopamine, epinephrine and other secretions from the adrenal and endocrine glands. In views of the expert psychologists, like Dr. Khrushchenk the carnal joy of sex is fulfilling only with the content of psychological excitations. Erogenous ambience may excite concupiscence but the feelings of joy and fulfillment emanate only from the latent force of consciousness that is the root cause of specific endocrine secretions. The electrostatic changes on the particles of ovum and the sperm determine the sex of the offspring. Negative charge is dominant in the particles of a female embryo and positive in the male .It is well known that the male gametes (i.e., fathers) sex chromosomes are indeed responsible for determining the sex of the offspring. Similar results are obtained from the experiments on the electrostatic charges. Only the sperm is found to contain particles that are positively as well as negatively charged. Whether the particles in the embryos

germ-cell would be only negatively charged (implying the offsprings sex to be female) or would contain both positively charged as well as negatively charged particles (implying the offspring to be male), depends upon which particles of the sperm were activated during the sexual reproduction. Experiments on chemically activating only one type of charged particles in the sperm were largely unsuccessful in humans; however, the electrophoresis experiments (on Rabbits) carried out by two Russian scientists Dr. (Mrs.) V. N. Schroder and Dr. N. K. Kolstove have shown positive results in this regard. The in-vitro experimental research on the electrophoresis of human germ-cells conducted by Dr. Manuel Geradin and Dr. Levin of the UK had shown encouraging results which raised hopes for the treatment of impotent men and pre-controlling of the sex of the offspring by appropriate electrical stimulation. Dr. L. Chattels of the Columbia University had experimented (in-vitro) on about 1000 samples of sperms and he had found that only one type of particles could be activated in the sperm under appropriate electrical fields. Similar studies at the Philadelphia Medical Center had shown that the quantity and potency of the germ cells depends upon the intensity of the stimulated sex-energy. The gamete and hence the offspring produced by dull, lusty copulation would also be dull and infirm. The number of children produced also does not depend so much upon the chemistry or physique of the body, as upon the psychology the concerned persons. While the body of person could be impotent or barren in certain biological or bio-chemical condition, that body of another may be exceptionally reproductive in the same condition. The nature and extent of their bio-electrical flows is found to be the major cause of such drastic variations. The following cases have made news at their times because of the peculiar reproductive potentials and responses. A Russian woman was in news because of her good health despite the burden of 27 pregnancies in her otherwise normal lifetime. She gave birth to 23 healthy children. She was also conferred an award by the then
King Czar the Second. A rural French woman had also received the honor of record making mother by delivering 21 children. A woman in Indonesia had given birth to one child per year for 28 consecutive years. Mrs. Rosa of Montemileto (Italy) had given birth to 26 healthy children till this news was reported several decades ago. Mrs. Cecil of Indianapolis had made the record of producing maximum girl child. She mothered 14 girls; Mrs. Lloyd Brooks was the next with her 13 daughters. Both the women could never conceive a male child. Age also is not a barrier on the reproductive potentials of humans. The following have records in this list of exceptional impact of vivid bio-electricity of the sex-element. Few decades ago, Mr. Jose Parferio of Guaratguet (Brazil) had married a 48 years old woman when he was 109 years old and had already fathered 23 children from his former three wives. After his fourth marriage he told the curious people around that if newly wed wife now conceives a child, he will have no doubt that it is his. It was the first marriage of that woman, who was his girl-friend and companion since quite some time. Answering peoples suspicion about their married life, she replied that her sex-life with him is fully satisfactory. On the other extreme there was a report of an eleven years old girl, who gave birth to child of 1.8 Kilograms weight in the Ariquia Hospital of South Peru. A record is this category was made by a seven years old girl Linda Meidina in 1938, when she delivered a baby boy in Castrovirina Hospital. The examples of above sort further illustrate the supernatural power of kma hidden in the bioelectricity of the sex-element. In the in-vivo processing, the generation and maintenance of the bioelectrical fields of sex-elements and hence the extent and type of the activation of the germ cells are controlled by different kinds of hormones whose secretion ultimately depends of the conscious state of the mind. Thus, not only the sexual desire and stimulation but also the completeness of the involved process at the psychological as well as physical and biological levels, the possibility of embryogenesis (and hence reproduction) and the electrostatic charges on the particles of the embryos sex-chromosomes (and hence the gender and the vigor of the child) all are
basically controlled by the internal conditions of the mind and the flow of kma in the couple. The sublime role of the consciousness in the living body is much more significant than its aforesaid manifestations in the form of bioelectrical and hormonal reactions. Enlightened utilization of this power is aimed at in the yoga practices of brahmacharya and kualin sdhans.

Sublimation of Sex-Energy: The physical energy of sex-element is the basis of the formation of physical body. The celebrity psychologists like Freud consider its stepwise development and impact on psychology in terms of the joy of sucking milk from the mothers breast, merriment in teasing among the teenagers, overwhelming zeal in the youth, etc. Its force is attributed to trigger the natural occurrence of puberty, attraction towards the opposite sex that often leads to the amorous friendship and sexual relationship. Man and woman paired under this bond usually form a married couple and willingly bear the burden of their expanded family and raising children with growing responsibilities. Excessive lust, licentiousness, violence during sexual excitation, etc are the destructive effects of uncontrolled eroticism and illicit concupiscence, which if left unchecked may result in hideous crimes like rape in some cases and to moral decline, adultery and adverse anarchy in the familial and social system. Cravings accompanied by the latent force of sex-energy, if left unrestrained, often incite people towards immoral acts and debauching offenses. Although we frequently hear of and observe more of the negative effects of this latent force in the morally declined society of today, we should not discard this as a debasing or abominable instinct of carnal excitation. The sublime power of kma immanent the sex-element is enormous. Creation of a new body from the tiny combination of secretion from two other bodies is indeed a grand manifestation of the creative power of Nature enfolded in it. This hidden force is the root of the endless thralldom of the jva in the worldly
attachments. Its refinement and spiritual transmutation is essential for ultimate salvation; this is why the Karma Yoga philosophy of the holy Gita also focuses on nikma
15
karma. All the practices of spiritual elevation unequivocally emphasize the preservation and control of the nectar of kma by self-restrain and self-realization. Continence and emancipation from the worldly passions (cravings and attachments) of kma open up the path for the jvtm to attain the state of ultimate bliss. The story of Kamadevas defeat, inflaming and transformation by the power of God Shiva as discussed earlier, is indeed an illustration of disciplining of the immense force of kma indwelling in the sex-elements by the discerning intelligence. The observance of brahmcharya is affirmed in the spiritual scriptures as the most important and effective discipline for the awakening and constructive orientation of the sublime electricity and vigor (ojas) of ones vital force. In view of the limitless subtle power of the sex-energy, brahmcharya becomes crucial for the spiritual enlightenment and elevation of a human being. We are not arguing here in favor or against marriage or association of men and women. Celibacy or chastity is in fact more a subject matter of mental and emotional domains. One may find it easy to adopt it and engage himself/herself in higher altruist goals by remaining single, while some one else could feel more comfortable in observing it in married life with the supportive ambience of sharing the responsibilities, the joys and sorrows with the life-partner. It should be noted again that brahmcharya can not be observed by mere escapism from married life or forced physical separation from the opposite sex. On the contrary, such imposed constraints might at times be extremely dangerous as they might lead to eroticism and sexual crimes and/or psychosomatic diseases. The natural liberation of mind from lust and associated thoughts is the basic requirement in any spiritual discipline. As mentioned earlier, with the observance of a chaste, dutiful, cheerful, mutually faithful and refined (towards human dignity and welfare) lifestyle, every normal married couple can adopt brahmcharya in the truest sense. Lust cravings and amorous desires could be naturally replaced by more fulfilling joy of friendly cooperation, matured humor and entertainment, playing with children, creative hobbies and recreation, etc. In the ancient times, many rishis and their wives/husbands used to obey brahmcharya in their married life.
Even amongst the common people those days sexual interaction was an act of determined social responsibility towards giving birth to a virtuous child after necessary preparation of their own minds, bodies and characters at suitable times. Many seers of that era used to remain unmarried and thereby maintain their personal requirements and familial responsibilities at the minimum. These brahmcries used to dedicate their lives for the all round development of the society and used to tour throughout the year in different parts of the globe for the noble cause of realization of the self in every form, every manifestation of life.

Those aware of the importance of kma, often get puzzled as how to eliminate or detach from the influence of the grand force of the sex-element that is so deeply rooted in our gross and conscious existence?. How to observe brahmacarya in the worldly life that is pulled by varieties of passions, compulsions and attractions?. Incontinence leads to dissipation of vital energy and mental degeneration and depraving, but restraining or suppression might risk psychological complications and split personality? Then, what to do? Where is the way out? Is there a possibility of purifying and sublimating this hidden element and exalting some inner force that would enable ideal disciplining, soothing enlightenment and happy progress of life in a natural way? The sages have found the answer in the spiritual experiments of balanced activation of kualin. In higher levels of spiritual yoga, the sublime transmutation of kma is endeavored by the sdhans of kualin to arouse the divine elements immanent in the jvtm. The Serpentine Fire of Super Vital Force (Kualin): One of the most talked about, mysterious and hard disciplines of spiritual yoga is the kualin sdhan. The philosophy of this grand sdhan deals with the awakening, transformation and refinement of kma. The awakened power of kualin transforms or reorients the psychological components of sexual desire into pure affection, reverence, faith, artistic talents, courage, optimism, valor, tolerance, sense of responsibility, altruism and (hence) asceticism, etc. In simple illustrative terms, the control and optimal utilization of the vital power of sex-element under the disciplines of kualin sdhan could be likened to the setting up of dams and reservoirs for rain waters and networking of canals, which not only prevent the calamities of floods but also offer useful irrigation facilities. Mental impulse of cravings and erotic thoughts are found to be the biggest and closest enemies against the
observance of chastity. These need to be instantaneously encountered by equally forceful and penetrating thoughts and emotional currents. Iron cuts iron. Trenchancy of positive thinking and pure intellect indeed have this power, which, like the divine light of Lord Shivas eyes can set ablaze the evil instincts of the Kamadeva sitting in our passions.
