Integral Knowledge – Integration of Vedantic and Tantric Knowledge


This is another opportunity to explain the symbolism of the yet
another

misunderstood concept, the Left Handed Fivefold Worship, the Pancha
Makara

Pooja.




Pancha Makara Puja means the fives Ms are used for
worshipping Deity.



The pramana is this


Madyam Mamsam cha Meenam
cha

Mudra Maidhunameva Cha
Eka Pancha Makarasyur
Naranam Moksha
Dayaka



Wine, Meat and Fish
With copulation and Yoga Mudra
These
Five can liberate Man

These Five Ms !


where


Madyam –
Wine

Mamsam – Flesh
Meenam – Fish
Mudra – A Yogic Pose
Maidhuna –
Copulation



We have said that Sir John Woodroffe was a Sunday lawyer.
After practising

Tantra, he became a Siddha. The West knew Tantra through him
!



What made him a Siddha Purusha ? The Five Ms !


There is a saying
in Latin ” In Vino Veritas ” ( There is truth in Wine ).



Bacchus’
blessings are a treasure

And drinking is the soldier’s pleasure
!



Alcohol, taken in small quantities is the exciter of the “Yes” function
in

man. It can make man one with Truth. Mudra is a Yogic Pose. Yoga is
derived

from the word Yuj which means to unite. Meena means fishes. Mamsa
means

flesh. Traditionally, in other systems which are considered divine
like

Yoga, non veg food is eschewed. But not so in Tantra.


Maidhuna is
Copulation. Sex was considered as Lust in puritan philosophies.

But not so in
Tantra. “Sex is spiritual, it is something that comes out of

the depths of
your being ” says Dr Maxwell Maltz, founder of
Psycho-

Cybernetics.


These 5 Ms are the five elements which are used
by Tantra for Cosmic Union.



Atharva Veda has been isolated, as some
puritans think that it deals with

Black Magic. Anton La Vey, wrote the
Satanic Bible and there are many Satanic

Churches in the West. Tantra is
practised everywhere, even in Africa where it is

known as Voodoo.



In
the West, there are two types of Witchcraft, knows as Alexandrian Witchcraft
and Dianian Witchcraft. Alex Sanders founded Alexandrian Witchcrat. The
word is derived
 from the German word ” Wicca ” which means Wisdom and Witchcraft is the
craft of the Wise.
They are all different forms of Tantra.


The Symbolic Meaning behind
the Five Great M’s


It is to be noted that Mamsam ( Flesh ) is symbolic. The Sanksrit Soham

means ‘ I am He ‘. Mamsa means the same Mam ( I am ) and Sah is He. Mamsa is

nothing but SOHAM reversed ! The Wine referred to here is the Wine of Bliss,
the
Bliss which cometh from Union with the Self. The Copulation referred here
is the Divine Copulation, 
the copulation between Purusha and Prakrithi, whose result is the Universe.
No doubt sex is 
the microcosmic representation of Cosmic Union. We must take
the macrocosmic meaning, the 
union of Purusha and Prakriti. Yoga Mudra is a great pose, which can give
Liberation.
In this sense Tantra becomes sacred and divine. It is the Sacred Art &
hence the holiest of all Holy 
Sciences.

It is only when we approach the Supreme through His double aspect – double
but inseparable –
that the Truth becomes known to the inner experience. The Vedantins have
developed the concept
of Absolute Being ( Sat ). The Chit aspect, the aspect of the Absolute as
Consciousness, have been 
developed by the Shakta Tantrics. ( The Absoute is Being, Knowledge and
Ananda, Sat Chit Anandam 
Brahma ).Only a blend of both ( Vedanta and Tantra )  can pave the way for
Integral
Knowledge or Poorna Jnana. Vedanta sastra Tantra sastrasya samanvayah ithi Poorna Jnanah
