After the explanation of Yoga, Karmakanda and Darshana of Brihaspati in the residential course currently being held at ‘International Kaulantak Siddha Vidhya Peeth’, His Holiness Mahasiddha Ishaputra then touched the topic of tantra. He explained the participating sadhaka about the various aspects of tantra. Tantra is as ‘brihad’ or holistic as Brihaspati himself. Brihaspati means master of numerous wisdom forms and Tantra means techniques to use numerous wisdom forms for pragmatic use. Tantra is basically divided into two forms, the ‘kula’ and the ‘akula’. Brihaspati is the master of both forms. He has his own kula and the master of his tantric kula attains the status of ‘Brihaspati’. The akula part is where all the kula ends. It is a process of going from the physical adhyatma to sookshma adhyatma and finally to be liberated from the sansara. In the tantra of Brihaspati, one starts with the tanta of ‘ihaloka’ and gradually then concludes with the tantra of ‘paraloka’. Brihaspati’s tantra in the words of Mahasiddha Ishaputra himself is that the tantra is a process of starting from the physical dimension ultimately leading to subtle adhyatmik dimension. Some pictures were taken during the course when Mahasiddha Ishaputra was explaining the concept to the sadhaks. We hereby present the pictures taken, to the Kaulantak Peeth fraternity so that they could witness the happenings of the Peeth. We shall also update further happenings as soon as we get an update from the "Kaulantak Siddha Vidhya peeth team. #ishaputra #iksvp #himalayansiddhas #patanjaliyoga #brihaspati #kurukullatemple #mahasiddhaishaputra

After the conclusion of the topic of Akula and tantra practice, it was the time for another equally important subject i.e. Purana. His Holiness explained to the sadhaka, ‘Purana means history of the great souls, their whereabouts, their actions, their contributions to the world’. Purana means history with full of information about do’s and donts from practical experience of the great souls. His Holinesss Mahasiddha Ishaputra revealed that Purana can be a great source of knowledge. For instance, in the Bhagawat Purana, there is mention of King Bharata. He left his kingdom in the search for truth. While in his penance period, he rescues a young deer or buck and saves its life. He grows such attached to the deer that he forgets about his intention of the whole renunciation. One day the deer doesn’t return and King Bharata dies in the separation of the deer and in the next birth, King Bharata becomes a deer. Now any person can infer from the Purana that whatever is in the mind of a person at the time of death, the person begets the body related to it. In the case of King Bharata, it was deer. Purana is used to infer wisdoms from history. Tantra is different to Purana in a sense that Purana means study of history while tantra is pragmatic wisdom which is about creation of history. Therefore, under Brihaspati system, both tantra and purana have significances. One should know how to utilize it. While the discussions were going on, the ‘Kaulantak Peeth ’ team managed to take some pictures. We hereby present the pictures taken, to the Kaulantak Peeth fraternity so that they could witness the happenings of the Peeth. We shall also update further happenings as soon as we get an update from the "Kaulantak Peeth Team Satara." #ishaputra #iksvp #patanjaliyoga #himalayansiddha #mahasiddhaishaputra #kurukullatemple

After the conclusion of the explanation of whole ‘Brihaspati Kalpa’, it was the time for diksha and test. As this was a certificate course, it was imminent that a test would be taken and the grades will be mentioned in the certificate accordingly. The ‘Brihaspati Kalpa’ can only be perfected when through the diksha of ‘Brihaspati’. Brihaspati diksha is the stepping stone for the perfection of ‘Brihaspati Kalpa’ because the diksha is all about unlocking the human brain to increase the grasping power of the Brihaspati’s magnum opus, ‘Brihaspati Kalpa’. After the empowerment of the ‘Brihaspati’ diksha to the participants, it was now time for a test as it was a certificate course. The test was done in a written and oral format. The grades of both the format is also to be mentioned in the certificate course. In fact this was the first course performed under ‘International Kaulantak Siddha Vidhya Peeth’ in its own centre and Kaulantak Peeth has decided that all the shivirs and the camps would now be conducted in one of our centers unless explicitly mentioned. Finally, the course concluded with the distribution of certificate. It was the ending days of 2018 so in short, the camp concluded with the conclusion of the year 2018 and 2019 shall be a big year as the very first course of the year is “Ma Kurukulla Sadhana’, the kuladevi of the Kaulas. We have received some pictures taken during the last two days of the camp. We would like to hereby present the pictures made available to us by the ‘Kaulantak Peeth team. #ishaputra #iksvp #himalayansiddhas #patanjaliyoga #mahasiddhaishaputra #kurukullatemple

A seven day residential camp on "Vajra Yogini" was recently organized and concluded by the Kaulantak Peeth under the holy guidance of His Holiness Kaulantak Peethadhishwara, MahayogI Satyendra Nath Ji Maharaja (Ishaputra) from 17-23 March. The second day of the course was well spent on explaining "Vajra Yogini". It was more like the extension of the first day where Mahasiddha Ishaputra further revealed and elaborated various unknown facts about the deity. In his own words, he explained that the path of Vajra Yogini is the path of "तमसोमा ज्योतिर्गमय". The first phase of her practice involves "tamas" or her path is the path from tamas to the light. He further explained that the mastery of ones own existence also involves the mastery of the "tamas" element inside us. The indulgence of tamas or the ignorance of tamas are nothing but the same thing. Both leads to sins and bondages. The perfection of tamas is the key and its perfection transforms a person from a seeker to a Mahasiddha. Various other important aspects of Vajra Yogini were also discussed like her weapon and staff "khatvanga", her mudras, Dakini poses etc, her association with 64 Yoginis etc. We have also taken some pictures which we would like to present herein so that the Kaulantak Peeth fraternity gets the glimpse of the course of Vajra Yogini and the happenings of the Peeth.

The third and the fourth day of the ‘Vajra Yogini’ camp that the Kaulantak Peeth held discussed the concept of ‘Bali’ and other various techniques integral to the path of Vajra Yogini. All together, His Holiness Mahasiddha Ishaputra explained the participant’s forty kinds of bali and its do’s and dont’s. In his own words, His Holiness explains that the concept of bali in today’s contemporary tantra has been all about animals sacrifices which is plain wrong. The bali or the offerings that the tantra prescribes, has nothing to do with the animal sacrifices. His Holiness the head of the supreme tantric peeth revealed that the animal sacrifice prevalent in the society in the name of tantra is nothing but a social taboo created in the name of feeding ones stomach in the name of deity. To pacify all these taboos, His Holiness thus explained the participants and revealed the real essence of bali or sacrifice. He all together revealed forty different bali’s. The procedure of offering the bali as per His Holiness and Siddha Dharma is that the bali should always be made up of dough. For instance, animal sacrifice means one sacrifices one’s own animal instinct and this is done by making an animal out of dough and then offering it. It was this procedure that the tantric misinterpreted and started using real animals. As per him, the use of real animals is sin because the dough doesn’t have a soul but animals do. Killing an organism with soul is a sin and Kaulantak Peeth doesn’t promote sins/ His Holiness revealed that the practice of Vajra Yogini can only proceed when one offers ones animal instinct to the goddess to walk into the path of her. Presented hereby are the picture taken during the third and fourth day of the course for the Kaulantak Peeth fraternity. We shall further update about the remaining happenings very soon.
