    Re: BHAKTI & TANTRA / SHAKTI SADHANA ------- the main sadhanas in Kali Yuga

    as far what i have heard from my grandfather who was the direct disciple of swami abhedananda thakur never stressed on a particular personal deity to be worshipped.he loved divine mother kali but equally sang praises of krishna ,shiva ,he said in bengali "jotho moth toto poth" which means there can be as number of ways as number of humans on earth to reach god.
    for any path to reach god you need to have devotion ie bhakti as this is the base even in tantra.tantric kriyas cant be done by everyone as everyone cant have a potent guru as guru is needed to guide you doing the tantra kriyas.but i agree with the fact that bhakti is essential on any spirtual path one follows..glory be to shiva.

    Why do you have to reach God when god is already here. You Are That!

      Why do you have to reach God when god is already here.
      THE QUESTION IS NOT ABOUT REACHING GOD, RATHER ABOUT BEING GOD.
      GOD IS EVERY THING INDEED, BUT YOU WONT SURELY ENJOY BEING A COCROACH, AS THERE ARE VARIOUS MEN SO ARE VARIOUS YOGIS AND EVEN SO ARE VARIOUS COSMIC GODS. SO PRAISE EACH AND EVERY FORM OF GOD, BUT FORGET NOT UR IDEAL (WHO KNOWS YOU MIGHT BE HIEGHER THAN GODS IN FACT). SO MARCH TO UR IN BUILT IDEAL DO NOT STOP FOR MAN IS VERILY HIS IDEAL, DO WHAT UR HIEGHEST IDEAL TELL U. AND UR WORK IS DONE . REST OF THE TIME PRAISE OTHER BEINGS AND GODS, THERE IS NO JOY GREATER THAN PRAISING. TAKE CARE O GREAT BEING.
