No I'm not talking about "neo-tantra" which you'll find in Marin County and advertising in the "Open Exchange" published in the Bay Area. I am talking about real tantra. Get your facts straight. Here we have several Indian newspapers and magazines. The astrologers and readers advertise on a page or two. I also know a woman Sufi-tantric who does readings and has very powerful shaktipat. She is authentic. >> Many of the Indian astrologers are tantrics. >> >> > You're probably not going to be able to learn > anything about 'Vamacharya' Tantrism from them, > whether they are astrologers or not.

I have also met tantrics in India. I know the fucking difference and you don't. I also have a swami title that my guru bestowed on me after I passed a number of tests. I haven't done much with it because like many Americans I'm busy just staying afloat in this shitty economy. > > >> And though the actual teaching is kept secret >> to preserve it's shakti the theory is openly >> discussed. >> >> > Get a book and you can read all about the Shiva > and Shakti theory, but that won't get you an > initation into the secrets of Sri Vidya tantrism > - it's more of a family secret. > Who cares? Village tantra simple and easy to learn. Very well fitted for the busy westerner. No academic masturbation to navigate either. It is extremely powerful.

Books read before one is initiated read differently after. What authentic books on tantra published has things implied between the lines.
