So in Hindu Tantra I can eat Elsie the Cow but not a Brahma-Bull? What about Buffalo?
At a Buddhist tantric gana-chakra, (a gang-circle), after chanting the gana-puja meal offered to the protectors and gang-lords, even if the participant is a vegetarian they must eat a small sliver of meat or in-extremis touch it to the brahmarandhra while visualizing its enjoyable consumption. Eating meat and enjoying wine is the ordinary Western way. More proof that in the West, following a path of austerity is now the only real antinomian behavioral reversal not aping a few Indian Tantikas. ***************************************** --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu <noozguru@...> wrote: > > On 02/18/2011 08:50 AM, Tom Pall wrote: > > On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 9:53 PM, Peterdrpetersutphen@... wrote: > > > >> > >> U got a problem wit dat? ;-) > >> > >> > > Not at all.
