1 Q - DOESN'T TANTRA SEEM MECHANICAL AND DEPRIVED OF THE FEELING OF LOVE?
A - For the presence of the feeling of love, a strong physiological basis is necessary. Every thought
in our head and every feeling must have its physical support in the body. If we are weak, ill, under
stress, and nervous, we are not able to love. Then we think only about ourselves, about satisfying
our own needs and the attention we require of our environment. We are able to love only when we
feel healthy, strong, full, self-assured, when our basic needs are satisfied. Then we are able
to give and to accept others. Love is the ability to accept the opposite. Classic sex, as it is
practised in the West, weakens the physiological basis for love. After ejaculation the man
loses interest for the woman. It's because of the cessation of the erotic charge, induced
by the presence of high level of sexual hormones in body. By repeating the sexual intercourse
over a longer period, the sexual interest for a certain person grows weaker and weaker.
When, in the conversation, I used to ask my clients about the quality of their sexual
intercourse, the most often the answer would be: "Oh, before getting married, it was
excellent!" After 10 - 15 years of marriage, sexual intercourse with the spouse usually
stops being interesting. It is much rarefied and becomes a matrimonial duty. People
remain in marriage not any more because of mutual love, but because of children, or
for economic reasons. With the lapse of years, love has literally flown out. The man,
at least subconsciously, feels constantly exhausted by the sexual intercourse with his wife. The woman,
for her part, feels that she doesn't experience that fullness she could have in the intercourse when
her man would only know how to make it possible for her. In this way, dissatisfaction between partners
keeps on growing. Due to lack of insight into the real cause, and the lack of knowledge that sex can
be different, the dissatisfaction is being justified by thousands of other everyday trifles. The
real cause of dissatisfaction is absence of bliss consciousness. Tantra sex strengthens the
physiological basis for love. Since the man doesn't lose energy by the intercourse and doesn't
become exhausted, his erotic charge towards his partner grows stronger and stronger. After
finishing the intercourse, the partner is still extremely interesting and attractive. Since
the man accumulates more and more energy in every intercourse, his erotic charge also grows.
That means that his interest and love for the partner also grow. The woman, for her part,
achieves much fuller experiences of orgasms in the Tantra intercourse. She feels completely
fulfilled and satisfied, and this satisfaction extends into everyday life. Since her
partner is the one who makes this ecstasy possible for her, her respect and love for
that man grow. In this way, love relationship of the Tantra couple grows stronger and
deeper with the lapse of time. The basis for this love is a constant common growth.
Constant common broadening of awareness. Constant common deepening of ecstasy which
expands into everyday life, and whose basis is common strengthening of physiology.
When consciousness is pervaded by ecstasy, everyday events don't cause problems
any more. Common live flows in harmony. The fastest possible growth and development
of man's full potentiality is enabled.
2. Q - IS IT NECESSARY FOR THE SUCCESSFUL PRACTISE OF TANTRA, THAT
OUR PARTNER ALSO
KNOWS OR PRACTISES TANTRA?
A - When a man has once acquired the skill in managing the energies, and is stable in it, he can achieve ecstasy with every partner, no matter it he practices Tantra or doesn't know about it at all. But in the beginning stage, when someone just learns how to govern these energies, there is an enormous advantage in having the co-operation of a partner. Without this co-operation it will be very difficult to master the sexual reactions and redirect the energies up. It is ideal if we have a constant partner who understands us completely and is ready to support us, and wants to develop together with us. Still, there is one difference in the ability of man and woman to reach ecstasy with an unskilled partner. This difference results from the woman's far great sexual potential and her quality of receptivity. Even a woman who is not instructed in Tantra is capable of enjoying in the intercourse for a long time, to accept a man and to conduct powerful energies if they develop. It means that the man, trained in Tantra, will without great difficulties realise the usual state of ecstasy with almost every partner. But, since an unskilled man will not be able to bear strong excitations, so that he will probably soon ejaculate, which means that a woman trained in Tantra will not easily find a partner who can satisfy her. And this means that she must be very skilful, attentive and patient, in order to enable her untrained partner to follow her on her way to ecstasy. The woman is spontaneously capable to develop through her feeling and sexuality. The man still has to develop this capacity.
3. Q - TANTRA SEEMS TO BE DIFFICULT, COMPARED TO SOME OTHER SELF-DEVELOPMENT METHODS,
LIKE TM, FOR EXAMPLE, WHICH IS SAID TO BE EXTREMELY NATURAL FOR MAN, AND COMES SPONTANEOUSLY,
AND THAT THE EXPERIENCES INDUCED BY IT ARE INTIMATE?
A - First, I'd warn you that it's not necessary to oppose the practice of Tantra to any other self-development method. I personally advise my course participants, it they want an intense personal development and the development of consciousness thorough Tantra, to pay attention also to a regular diet, physical exercises, healthy daily routine and so on. They should also practise some form of meditation and breathing exercises. Sexuality is another aspect of life that can be refined, and by means of which we can come closer to the Self. There is no reason to neglect it because we already practice some other self-development method. Or, just the interest in self-improvement, expressed in practising other methods, is also the reason to integrate our own sexuality in the personal growth. Concerning breathing methods, I recommend Rebirthing and Cobra Breath. Out of different meditation forms, I can advise the practice of Transcendental meditation, since it is scientifically the most verified, and since it is owing to its simplicity and to the fact that it's not burdened by dogmatism, the most acceptable for the greatest number of people. Transcendental meditation is really a very natural technique, easy to be learnt and requires no effort. Experiences of calming the mind and expanding the awareness, to which it leads us, are intimate to us and extremely pleasant. The man, who meditates regularly, gradually comes into contact with his own nature. However, here appears a problem that doesn't have so much to do with meditation, but more with the orientation of a western man. An enormous number of people learn to meditate, and are satisfied with the results, but after a short time, they stop the practice. The reason for the cessation is not that meditation may not be good, but that they are too busy with other activities, and that they have no time! The western man has simply no habit to sit with the eyes closed and to be absorbed in himself. Meditation is excellent, if we take time and practice it! But how to make a western man to sit quietly twice a day, not doing anything? Most people don't find it attractive at all. But sex is something we are all already engaged in, more or less actively. There is not a single cell in our body that is not sexual by its nature. A natural instinct guides the sexual activity. If it is not blocked by social norms, it is being expressed spontaneously and effortlessly, and it is extremely pleasant. So, it is simply necessary to teach people how to draw maximum out of that, what they are already engaged in.
Man naturally aspires to pleasure. He should simply be thought how to maximally intensify that pleasure. The climax of pleasure is bliss, and bliss is the essence of life. Through intensifying pleasure to its extreme value, we touch the infinite value of life. By repeating this experience we begin to live in the incessant ecstasy of our essential nature. It's true that a lot of time has lapsed, during which we let our sexual energy empty out and down. We experienced the sexual charge as a tension, and the habit was created to free it by ejaculating. In the same way as we, in order to meditate, should restrain our habit of moving the attention outwards and turn it inwards, so with the Tantra exercises we redirect the movement of the sexual energy. But while meditation is for the majority of people in our culture a completely new type of behaviour, making love is a common thing. That's why I believe that the personal growth thorough sex is more acceptable and more attractive. A certain persistence and patience are necessary in order to master fully the sexual energies, but we perform this practice by the way, while we already enjoy in what we always do.
4. Q - IS IT NECESSARY TO HAVE A PARTNER IN ORDER TO ATTEND THE SEMINAR?
A - To attend the basic seminar, it is not necessary to come with a partner, but if we have one, it is certainly better to come together with him or her. It is ideal if the partner also learns about all the techniques for men and women. Then he or she can understand us completely and give us full support. Apart from enabling us to learn the techniques, the seminar offers us also the circumstances in which we can be released from mental blockades connected with sexuality. People are used to speak about sexuality either with shame or mockery. Mockery hides our frustrations connected with this subject. It's an enormous advantage for those who have no partner to go through the Tantra seminar. Among Tantra techniques there are some done by a couple, but there are also some others done by men or women individually. Attending the seminar, and the very decision to begin doing Tantra exercises on our own, begin to open for us the possibility to find a suitable partner. If we have no partner, it's the most probably the result of inner frustrations connected with sexuality. Removal of these frustrations during the seminar, as well as the practice of independent exercises, will enable us to meet and recognise a suitable partner soon. Tantra exercises done individually will also prepare us energetically for a real sexual intercourse. Energy rise and the higher states of consciousness can be experienced even through the exercises that we do alone. The exercises for removing menstrual problems are done by a woman on her own, without a partner. They are very efficient and give the expected results quickly. If the majority of women were acquainted only with this exercise, even if we didn't consider sexual intercourse, the level of health and the mood of the whole society would be much improved. Exercises that can be done by women alone, just by themselves, greatly enhance the energy level and create the feeling of ecstasy. Similar results are also created by the exercises done by man alone. Apart from the above mentioned, we give on the seminar some special mental techniques enabling one to find a suitable partner more quickly. On the advanced, residence courses, it is desirable to come together with the partner, for otherwise we would not receive the maximum value of the course.
5. Q - SINCE THE MAN ABSTAINS FROM EJACULATION, DOES IT MEAN THAT IT'S NOW
POSSIBLE FOR A WOMAN TO HAVE MORE ORGASMS, BUT A MAN REMAINS WITHOUT IT?
A - Here, first of all, one error has to be removed. Ejaculation and man's orgasm are not the same thing. Researches show that more than 60, and maybe more than 80 percent of women don't experience orgasms. Still, it seems that nobody came to the idea of making a research of the percentage of men who never experience orgasm in the sexual intercourse. Or, maybe, in what percentage of intercourse some men do experience it. It would probably be found that most men simply have a feeling of the release of tension and don't know of any ecstatic experience that could follow the ejaculation. So, ejaculation is a physical experience, while orgasm is experienced on energy level. They are different phenomena and can be experienced independently from each other. This is also known by the men who sometimes by ejaculation experience orgasm, and sometimes not. It is possible to experience orgasm also without ejaculation. In Tantra sex the woman has great advantages from the very beginning. Relaxation and surrendering are necessary for the expansion of consciousness and a free energy rise. Women already have a great deal of this quality of surrender, and most cultures emphasise it even more. Also, from the very beginning of the Tantra exercises, the woman can relax completely. She doesn't have to control anything. She should only conduct the awakened energies. For this conducting, it is enough to relax and surrender still more. That's why, as soon as man's energy charge rises higher, the woman induces a correspondent charge, and easily she has strong ecstatic experiences. In the beginning stages of the Tantra practice, man is in a somewhat worse position. For a long time, there was a habit to waste energy, to let it go down and out. This habit is ingrained in the whole mechanism of the physiology. Tantra requires the removal of this habit and the habituation of the psycho physiological system to conduct the energy inside and up. It requires certain training. It requires control and discipline. It is in a way contrary to the relaxation that helps the expansion of consciousness, but it is necessary in order to overcome the old habit. Simultaneously with the overcoming of the habit of a downward energy course, there is also a process of purification of energy channels in the body that enable an undisturbed upward moving of energy. When the old habit has been once overcome, energy channels enough purified and the habit of rising energy created, control is no longer necessary. Then the man can also relax and surrender to the flows of energy. These free energy flows in the state of relaxation will then initiate in him the experiences of orgasm without ejaculation. But this orgasm is no more a short blissful experience. It can last much longer. With practice and purification of energy channels, duration of that orgasm can be extended to infinity. Finally, this free energy flow and the ecstasy caused by it should be continually present in everyday life, twenty-four hours a day.
6. Q - DON'T THE TANTRA EXERCISES DISTURB THE NATURAL COURSE OF EVENTS,
I.E. MAN'S EJACULATION?
A - The range of the natural is much broader than the range of habitual. The possibilities of human body and the human nervous system are much bigger than we usually utilise. Psychological researches show that an average person uses only two to three percent of his mental potentials. Is that natural? Most people are not able to run a one kilometre's distance without stopping, but every sportsman can do it. What is natural? A sportsman simply uses the potentials of human body that most people usually don't. If a child grows up in wilderness among animals, it is not able to speak, nor can it read or write. Still, in most cultures, literacy is a common thing. But it is being gained only in the environment of human culture. Is than literacy something unnatural? Evidently, the human culture stimulates the expression for some human capabilities that couldn't be developed outside this culture. But we can't call these capabilities unnatural. It is same with Tantra culture. It offers certain knowledge about the functioning of physiology. By applying that knowledge we change the functioning of our body. But it is still within the range of activity of our own body, within the range of nature's activity. What can at all be out of the natural? By applying Tantra techniques we discover the capabilities of the body, which are usually not being utilised. Thereby we simply expand the range of using of our nature. Instead of continuing to use only two to three percent of our potentials, we expand it in the direction of 100 percent. The multitude of phenomena that we experience today in our culture as common would have been in the last century regarded as unnatural. Tantra skills cultivate the behaviour of our body, like any other knowledge offered by different cultures.
7. Q - HOW RELIABLE ARE TANTRA CONTRACEPTIVE METHODS?
A - Among Tantra techniques we have those which enable the control of conception from the part of man, and those applied by women. The man can with practice develop the ability to ejaculate or not as he wishes. So, this process ceases to be an automatic reaction of the body. Man can choose the time of ejaculation, or he can choose not to ejaculate at all. The same applies to ejection of semen liquid before the real ejaculation. A trained man is hundred percent reliable. Woman can also control conception. It is made possible by exercises that give control over the process of ovulation. If she doesn't want pregnancy, the woman can prevent the unnecessary creation of the ovum. The woman can according to her wish postpone the ovulation until the time she wants to conceive. In this way enormous energy is being saved. Complete mastery over this method requires a longer period of time. When the women has once gained control over ovulation, this contraceptive method is completely reliable. Such an approach to one's own physiology can in the beginning be foreign to many women. We are used to think that regular ovulation and menstruation are a sign of good health. Willing interference in such processes can appear risky. But when a woman has once started practising this method and has experienced how much she feels better, and when she has gained an insight into the benefits of these exercise, she gradually gets used to the idea that she can by wish regulate the processes of ovulation and menstruation.
8. Q - HOW MUCH TIME IS IT NECESSARY TO MASTER TANTRA EXERCISES?
A - Tantra exercises for men and women are themselves very simple, and everybody can perform them without any difficulties. The point is in redirecting the energies through certain massages, contraction of specific muscular groups, breathing patterns, body positions and so on. All the exercises are easy and most of them can be performed perfectly from the very beginning. The time needed for a complete mastery over sexual energies is something different. It is, of course, above all, individual concern, and it depends on many circumstances. For some people, a few months will be sufficient; some others will need a few years. Women can achieve very satisfying results much faster than men can, especially because they can be completely relaxed from the very beginning and because they have a developed ability to grow through emotions and sexuality. In every case, we can perceive the results of the exercises from the very beginning. It concerns both exercises done by men and women alone and those done in couple. Exercises for removal of menstrual difficulties show results already after two to three weeks of regular practice. Women's exercises for directing orgasm can also show effect very quickly. Men's exercises done on one's own immediately raise the level of physical and psychic energy, and create good mood and enthusiasm. Concerning exercises done by man during making love, if he manages to prevent ejaculation at least in one of the two intercourse's, or at least to postpone it, it is already a 50 % improvement. So here also the results appear at the very beginning. Energy and ecstasy grow in time, and increase with every intercourse. Thereby grow enthusiasm and zeal in everyday life.
A - I personally think that the practice of Tantra is not more dangerous than driving a car. Driving a car, even crossing a street includes some danger, and people sometimes die, but it's far from us to renounce from it. Instead, we try to be more cautious. Advantages are incomparably bigger than the potential danger, and the number of people who perish in some way is proportionally small. With the proper cautions, what simply means a balanced life without extreme straining of mind and body, there are no dangers from the practice of Tantra. If we pay attention to healthy food, don't consume unnecessary toxins, and if we regularly relax from everyday fuss, we can safely grow with Tantra. It's true that Tantra texts say that the Tantra practice is "Riding a tiger" and "Walking on the knife's edge". Since the sexual instinct is one of the most powerful forces moving the man, mastery over these forces is certainly a significant undertaking. Probably, in the past, the whole process of redirecting energy and raising kundaliny was connected with greater dangers than it is today. That, which is dangerous in the process of raising energy, are the blockades and the impurities in the body. If the energy starts moving, and its path is not free, tension will be created, which can cause certain disturbances in the functioning of the body. But if the path is free, the energy will flow freely and no disturbances are created. We witness today that the knowledge about the possibility of the development of consciousness is widely available. There is abundance of self-development methods. Probably never in the history of mankind such a great number of people has been consciously engaged in their own development. Experience of higher states of consciousness has become a very frequent and common phenomenon. Many people can tell something about their own experience of the rising of the kundaliny energy. It shows that the human physiology is generally more pure than it was in the last centuries. People reach higher states of consciousness even without any special exercises. Human physiology is today much more prepared for these experiences than before. That's why the kundaliny energy awakening is also not so dangerous as it was before considered to be. That's the result of the overall evolution of mankind.
10. Q - ISN'T A PREMATURE KUNDALINY ENERGY RISE DANGEROUS?
A - The Kundaliny energy awakening is a natural physiological process, which is at the basis of the development of higher states of consciousness. Timely awakening means that the body is freed from various physical and psychical impurities and blockades. Otherwise, these blockades hinder smooth energy flows in our psychophysical system. When the energy channels are pure, there are no obstructions to the energy flow, and the Kundaliny rise presents no dramatic experience. Problems can be expected in case that the energy channels are not completely passable. The intensified energy flow would in such a situation cause a sort of friction, i.e. create some tension. In case that the energy flow is completely broken, such a friction or tension can cause certain physical or psychical disturbances. But, the increased quantity of energy in the body has also a purifying effect. This energy tries to remove the impurities standing on its way. That's how it itself frees the way for its further undisturbed moving. So, in a normal case, the awakening of the kundaliny automatically rearranges the body and structures it in such a way that it can without forcing conduct this new affluence. More permanent, in other words, real problem, arises only in case that the awakening of the kundaliny is forced. If one adopts certain yoga techniques for kundaliny awakening, without paying attention to maintaining the inner purity of the body and to a neat daily routine, problems can arise. Such cases are very rare. But they are also very dramatic, and that's why, when they appear, they attract lot of attention of the environment. Due to the dramatic nature of such forced experiences, one speaks about rising of kundaliny as of a dangerous and frightening experience, undesirable for a common man. The usual, natural rising of Kundaliny, causing no unpleasant phenomena, and which is much more frequent, is not much spoken of. Since it is experienced as a pleasant and not a tiring experience, and since it is not dramatic, one doesn't have anything to talk about. That's why the environment doesn't notice such experiences. In the Tantra practice of the left hand, along with the Kundaliny energy rise, we have a natural valve. Kundaliny is in this case, stimulated by sexual excitement. In case that the energy channels are not enough passable for the increased influx of energy, there will be a greater sexual excitement, and the person will automatically empty the surplus of energy through ejaculation or a clitoral orgasm. Besides, there are some breathing methods that help to release a surplus of energy. In order to speed up our development and to enable the body to conduct freely the increased energy awakened by the Tantra practice, it is recommended to pay attention also to the refinement of other aspects of life.
11. Q - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INDIAN AND CHINESE
TRADITION?
A - This knowledge has for thousands of years been present in India as well as in China. To say the truth, there are some legends that claim that China is the origin of the left-hand Tantra. Human physiology being the same, and in the Tantra practise we deal above all with the control of the physiology, the fundamental exercises used in the Indian and Chinese tradition are the same. The differences can be seen in some less important practises. The Chinese tradition emphasised an individual approach, a detailed following of the energy processes in the body and stimulation of some energetic points. The Indian tradition was more occupied with the influences of sound, of geometric forms and with the intensifying energy through collective practice. Techniques that we give on our seminar are basic psycho physiological techniques. They are not bound to a specific tradition. The Tantra teachings themselves predict that the form of exposing Tantra will be modified in the course of centuries and millenniums, in accord with the needs of a specific culture. So does the basic evening Tantra seminar, as we conduct it in Croatia, emphasise the procedures which every person can turn into practice and immediately experience its effects. On the residence courses we enter somewhat deeper in the Tantra tradition, still holding on to the practical level.
12. Q - CAN'T IT BE CONCLUDED THAT, ACCORDING TO TANTRA, A WOMAN IS
A MEANS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MAN?
A - Man and women are biologically and energetically one body. They can't survive without each other. In a Tantra relationship, this unity is maximally expressed. In a Tantra relationship man and woman are like communicating vessels. The energy initiated in one partner is immediately transmitted to the other. The awakening of energy, its rising and spreading and broadening of awareness occur at the same time in both partners. A woman is a means for the development of a man as much as a man is a means for the development of a woman. The development of the one means also the development of the other. The idea that the partner's benefit, or generally other people's benefit is not our own benefit is a limitation that we acquired somewhere during our growing up. Such ideas are not present in the Tantra approach to life. Growth and development of my environment definitely mean my own growth. The benefit of others is definitely my own benefit. In a Tantra relationship, this common benefit, this common growth is the most direct experience. Love and respect for a partner continually grow because we experience that our partner is just the one who makes possible our personal growth. As they come closer to the self, the partners come closer to each other. The development through Tantra sex is a fantastic idea of the Creator. All this is already naturally ingrained in a man a woman and us. A man and a woman are here with the ingrained desire and need for union. No discipline or effort of will is necessary. Surrendering to that union is enough to raise them to God consciousness.
13. Q - HOW DOES TANTRA RELATE TO MORALITY, AND WHAT IS, ACCORDING
TO IT, MORAL AND WHAT IS NOT?
A - Tantra is not occupied with what should be, but with what is. Tantra deals with facts. Tantra accepts every person on the level where he is and instructs him in the ways to connect this situation with the absolute value of life. Tantra says: "Whatever may be the cause of one's fall, it can be the means of his rise!" So Tantra doesn't set any moral rules. Right is what makes us come closer to the Self. Wrong is what removes us from the Self. If we feel that an act degrades us, that it makes us unhappy, that it binds and tightens us, even if it apparently doesn't do any harm to others, or if it initially seems to do good to others, and restricts us, it is evident that we do wrong. Wrong is everything that reduces awareness. Approaching to the Self means broadening of the awareness. This is the ultimate and the supreme criteria of the right or wrong of an act.
14. Q - WHAT SHOULD BE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN
IDEAL LIFE PARTNER?
A - An ideal life partner is a person who always inspires growth in us, in all aspects of life. If we are in the same time also a perpetual inspiration for him in the same sense, then we can speak of an ideal relationship. People often talk about love, but for a real love, we are only able in the state of fullness, in the state of the Self-realisation. Before the realisation of Fullness, what attracts us to another person is the need for growth. Growth is a sequential satisfying of person's needs, from basic physiological needs to the need for self-cognition. What people usually call love is, in fact, an attempt to satisfy their needs. When we meet a person who seems to be able to fulfil our current needs in the given moment, we feel attracted to this person and we sometimes call that love. But when certain needs are satisfied other needs appear. If the same person is able to satisfy these new needs too, the relationship may continue with the same dynamism. But if it's not the case, we start to stagnate, we don't feel that we're making any progress, we are unhappy, and if we are enough self-conscious, we break this relationship and enter into another. Growth, evolution, is the basic natural law. If we don't live according to this law, we suffer. The situation that two people can continually grow together is rare. The most frequent situation is those in which after a short period of growth and enthusiasm, both people stagnate and suffer for a very long time. By creating bliss consciousness Tantra offers the possibility that the person whom we enter into the relationship with, is our ideal partner. Bliss consciousness is the basis for the maximum growth in all aspects of life. The person, who makes a gradual creation of bliss consciousness possible for us, deserves to be called an ideal partner.
15. Q - WHAT DOES TANTRA SAY ABOUT A FREQUENT CHANGING
OF PARTNERS?
A - If we have a person we continually experience maximum growth with, why would we change her? If we are not with such a person, the natural tendency to grow and make progress will force us to look for her. If we, for various reasons, resist to this tendency, we will be dissatisfied and will suffer. It applies to all aspects of life. Concerning the very growth through sexual union, it's again ideal if we have a person who supports us fully in our aspirations and wants to grow and to develop together with us. It is desirable to have a permanent relationship with such a person. A maximum co-operation is in the beginning stages of the mastering over the sexual energy very important. Without the partner's support, the progress will be very slow. The basic criterion in deciding whom are we going to be with, and for how long, should be the satisfying of the need for growth. Morality has usually nothing to do with the growth. It is more in the service of control of freedom and growth. Right is what brings us nearer to the self. Wrong is what removes us from the Self.
16. Q - IS IT NECESSARY TO MEDITATE IF ONE WANTS TO PRACTISE
TANTRA SEX?
A - Tantra seminar is meant for people who are interested in an intense personal development, as well as to people who simply want to improve the quality of their sexual life, or to get rid of different problems and difficulties in this sphere. In order to attend a Tantra seminar it is not necessary to be already practising some other self-development technique. Or, if we are already practising some other technique, it is not an obstacle to attend the seminar and master the Tantra knowledge. The psycho physiological techniques, given on the Tantra seminar are by themselves enough powerful to improve the quality of our life and to give everything that we talk about on the introductory lecture. It is not necessary to practice also meditation or some other method, if we are not interested in it. On the other side, it is true that, if we at the same time pay attention to refining other aspects of life, progress will be much faster. Tantra exercises enable refinement of our sexual energies. Parallel with it, we can work on the refinement of our body, food, breathing, mind, feeling, intellect, environment, behaviour, and so on. If we approach from more directions, our full potentials will be developed more quickly. Also, the refinement of every of the different aspects of life contributes to the refinement of all other aspects. If we solve the inner traumas and blockades through meditation or some form of breathing, or so, it will have a beneficial effect on our ability to master over sexual energies. The progress in the Tantra exercises will be much faster.
17. Q - ISN'T WITHDRAWING OF SEMEN DAMAGING FOR THE
PROSTATE GLAND?
A - This objection comes from the western medicine. The idea is that the semen will remain in the prostate gland if it's not ejaculated, and that the prostate will after every intercourse remain expanded for some time, what through repetition may cause problems with that organ and the functions connected with it. Tantra techniques include also some practises for strengthening the prostate gland. These exercises develop flexibility and the strength of prostate gland and after every intercourse bring it back to the normal state. So, there is no danger that the prostate might be damaged. Just on the contrary, Tantra methods bring the prostate back to the optimal state and maintain it so.
18. Q - ACCORDING TO YOU, SEX IS THE SOLUTION FOR
ALL THE PROBLEMS!
A - The cause of all problems is the inner weakness, lack of creativity. The cause of all negativity is the absence of bliss consciousness. Psychological researches show that an average person uses only two to three percents of his mental potentials. It is as if we instead of our whole body use just the little finger. So it comes out that the quality of our life is on the level of the little finger. Our desires, our intelligence, our feelings, aspirations, all this is on the level of the little finger. Then it's no wonder that the whole life is full of problems. If a man uses only two to three percent of his potentials, he is not mature for life. Whether the problems are on the level of the individual or the community and no matter what kind of problems whether these are health, economic, ecological, political problems, problems of education or of behaviour, they indicate that this individual or community are weak, that they don't use their full creativity. Tantra practice wakes up our dormant energies that, again, activate our latent potentials. Free increased currents of energy develop our creative abilities. One ceases to feel as a helpless victim in the chaotic world, and becomes capable of changing his circumstances in accord with his inner growth. The extended orgasm, realised by the partners through the Tantra practice is a superior state of physiology that awakens all the healing forces of the body. This special physiological state is the basis for bliss consciousness, which continues in everyday life. That special psycho physiological state makes possible the solution to all the traumas and blockades. In bliss consciousness there are no negativity. In this way we see that the Tantra experience makes possible the improvement of health, improvement of social behaviour and the enhancement of general creativity. When the creativity is enhanced, the whole life blossoms. A method that enhances creativity is a method for removing of all problems.
19. Q - HOW EFFECTIVE ARE THE EXERCISES FOR REMOVING MENSTRUAL PROBLEMS?
A - Tantra exercises for removing the menstrual problems are very simple and also very enjoyable. They require about ten-minute a day. If they are practised regularly, usual menstrual problems can be significantly reduced or completely eliminated in two or three weeks. For the alleviation of some extreme cases of menstrual difficulties, four or five weeks of regular practice may be necessary. The exercises are extremely efficient. They also create ecstatic mood similar to that caused by orgasm. In case a woman is without a partner for some longer or shorter time, these exercises help her to more comfortable pass through such a period.
20. Q - DO TANTRA EXERCISES IMPROVE THE MAN'S
SEXUAL POTENTIAL?
A - Tantra exercises improve man's potential in many ways. There are some exercises that develop the hardness of penis in erection, and some others that reduce its sensibility, what makes possible the prolongation of sexual intercourse. Another type of practises strengthens the prostate gland, what also influences the strength of erection and the ability to prolong the intercourse. Energetic exercises through strengthening of energetic centres connected with sexuality directly influence the strength of the sexual impulse. The exercises that have as a direct goal the prevention of a reflex ejaculation make possible the prolongation of the intercourse at will. And finally, the continual accumulation instead of losing the energy with every intercourse makes a man always interested in a woman, and ready for a new sexual intercourse. In this way, this set of exercises strengthens the man's potential in an incredible measure, and not only maintains it on a high level but increases it with years. These exercises are efficient for the most diverse sexual problems, for young people as well as for elderly. The most frequent problem, which men complain about is a premature ejaculation and the weakness of the prostate gland. Both difficulties can be solved through Tantra exercises.
21. Q - WHAT'S THE TANTRA VIEW ON SENSORY PLEASURES?
A - Most spiritual systems discourages people form pleasures, especially sensory, saying that it's opposed to spiritual growth and to the cognition of God. It is argued with the fact that sensory pleasures take the attention out, and the essence of life is inside, hidden deep within us. Besides, sensory pleasures are temporary and therefore they don't make a permanent happiness. Truth is that what doesn't change. So, sensory pleasures don't belong to the realm of truth. The attitude of Tantra is that we can't deny the reality of experiencing temporary things. The temporary is as true as the permanent. Instead of refraining from pleasure, Tantra teaches to intensify the pleasure to the maximum extent. Maximum pleasure is bliss, and bliss is the essence of life. If we follow the pleasure, we come to more and more refined levels of creation, and eventually to the very source of all relativity. Here there is the greatest pleasure. Here we are closest to the Self. So, Tantra leads us, by way of following pleasure, to our true nature. Except in case of people, who are blocked by some heavy traumas, every body wants the sexual union and everybody wants to enjoy as much as possible. Tantra teaches how to enjoy maximum in that what we already do. That is why Tantra has the greatest chance to be widely accepted and practised. That is why Tantra union is the most natural way to the Self.
22. Q. WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TANTRA PRACTISES
AND PHYSICAL HEALTH?
A. There are many ways in which Tantra improves the health of the practitioners.
The first effect is that created by specific exercises for men and women. These exercises improve the state of the genital apparatus, balance the hormones, and thereby improve the state of the whole body. Another beneficial effect on the human body and psyche is the one created through the intense pleasure and the prolonged orgasm. It is important to bear in mind that in Tantra sex there is neither energy, and thereby nor emotional and physical fall, which is characteristic of the classical sex. That is why the prolonged orgasm can show its full healing effect on every type of disorder.
23. Q. WHAT DO ALL THESE PHYSIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE IMPROVEMENT
OF SEX HAVE TO DO WITH SPIRITUALITY?
A. As soon as we remove blockades of energy from the body, spirituality is unavoidable. It is a great error to consider spirituality something strictly detached from material and worldly. Actually, spirituality is the full potential of the worldly and material. When energy flows freely and undisturbed, through our psychophysical body, spirituality is here. When we are healthy, full of energy, full of zeal and enthusiasm, capable to create, to change things for better, this is already spirituality. When the flow of energy is blocked, we feel weak and feeble, we feel victims of circumstances, and we are unsatisfied. When we raise the energy level and redirect the course of energy, spirituality is automatically here. Bliss, ecstasy, broadness of awareness. Knowledge that we do what we are called for.
Spirituality is an unavoidable consequence of the practice of Tantra.
