1. Introductory :
Many sadhakas have asked questions directly or indirectly
regarding the topic of conjugal sadhana during the last five or six
years. Due to lack of time, dearth of proper scriptures, and my
limitations as a sanyasi (renunciate), I have answered them very
briefly. I decided to write a critical appreciation of one of the
following scriptures: Sivasamhita, Gherandasarhhita, or Goraksa
Paddhati and include elaborate answers to all the relevant
questions, but I have not been able to do so yet.
As I have been directing research for two years in the fields of yoga
and music, it is proper that I provide the answers to the sadhakas’
questions.
It is not correct that only complicated problems are put forth in the
scriptures; the solutions to these problems are also given. It is true
that these solutions cannot be understood logically. Logical
reasoning would only make the problem more confusing. The
solutions to the problems are obtained through regular sadhana
(spiritual practice). In ancient times when the sadhaka (spiritual
seeker) faced a problem at any stage of sadhana and could not find
a solution, he would run to his Gurudeva (beloved teacher) and get
a solution to his problems. This was the ancient way. This is
correct, because when a mystery is revealed at the proper moment,
the interrogator’s doubts are allayed.
I have answered the questions of a few sadhakas hesitatingly,
because if my opinion differed from that of their Guru, they would be
on the horns of a dilemma. I have always first advised the sadhaka
to seek his solution from his own Guru. Yet when they have insisted
on my answer, I have given itto them.
The answers to the problems I have put forth are the solutions to
the problems in this article. I have obtained them by my sadhana,
study of scriptures and the guidance of my Sadguru. You may
accept
and respect them only if you find them to be true according to your
own experience.
