Sex worship in india
The old donkey
took Agudenba, who had just arrived in India, to visit the local temple.
The old donkey
said to Agudemba: If you want to understand India, you must first understand
its religion and culture. From 2300 BC to 1750 BC, the Indians created a very
developed ancient civilization, the Harappan culture, in the Indus River Basin.
Starting around 1500 BC, the Euro-Indo-speaking Aryans gradually invaded India
and destroyed the early ancient Indian civilization. They established a new
religious culture and bishops in India. India's modern religion and history are
derived from this religious culture - the Vedas.
The old donkey
smiled and said to Agudemba: From the remaining remains of ancient Indian
buildings, you can discover the relationship between sex and religion.
In India, the
male reproductive organ is called "Linga". In some ancient Indian
small sculptures, you can often see a horned man carved with three faces, half
human, half animal and half plant, with his entire body naked. There he was
doing yoga poses. His penis was erect, strong and powerful. He represented
fertility and creation. Indians believed that this was the legendary Lord Shiva
in Hinduism. "Linga" is enshrined in many places. Every Indian woman
who goes to worship will offer a handful of flower petals in front of it, put
her palms together, and then touch it on the dome. In Indian religions, such as
Hinduism and Jainism, all believe in Lord Shiva, so his "Linga" can
be seen almost everywhere, which represents creation and rebirth.
Corresponding to
"Linga" is "Yoni". "Yunis" are naked women
wearing belts, necklaces and beautiful headdresses. They are strong and plump,
full of vitality and passion. Some are pregnant and some are holding babies,
but no matter what their shape, these early female statues symbolize human
reproduction and also represent the goddess Parveti, the wife of Lord Shiva,
who is in charge of reproduction.
In fact, Linga
is no longer just a reproductive organ in the minds of Hindus, but a symbol of
Lord Shiva's unlimited potential to reproduce life and create all things. Shiva
is both the god of asceticism and the god of indulgence, the god of destruction
and the god of creation.
Most Indian
religions have a healthy and calm attitude towards sex. However, there is a
school of cosmology in Hinduism that worships sex power (shakti) and Tantric
mysticism, which believes that the human body is a microcosm of the universe,
and the life in the universe is the male origin Brusha or male vitality Shiva
and the female origin Prakriti or female vitality. The product of the union of Shakti
(sexual force), so the sexual intercourse between men and women is a metaphor
for the unity of the two poles of the universe. It created some unique methods,
using prayer and worship to replace the original sacrificial rituals. Compared
with other sects in Hinduism, Shaktism is a system of action.
Like all sects
in Hinduism, Shaktism also seeks liberation, but not in the afterlife, but in
"this life". It does not forbid all kinds of pleasures in the world,
but instead tries its best to explore all kinds of sensual entertainment and
"mountain god" experiences. Rely on sex to achieve the purpose of
obtaining happiness. They believe that the ultimate goal of spiritual practice
is to overcome polar opposites, reach a non-dual state, and obtain the bliss or
joy of soul liberation. Through imaginary or real sexual intercourse (mitana)
between men and women, it is believed that sex is the greatest creative energy.
Through sexual intercourse, the creative energy in the human soul and body can
be aroused, merge with the power of the soul of the universe, and achieve a The
highest spiritual state. This sexual ritual or sexual yoga is seen as a
shortcut to the liberation of the soul.
Xinglipa pays
special attention to sexual energy and sexual belief rituals. They also believe
in ritual diagrams, mysterious symbols and formulas. For this reason, they
directly regard sexual intercourse itself as a religious ritual. Through sexual
intercourse, men and women can become a pair of male and female gods. This This
ritual is called "Lun Bao Offering". It is held in the middle of the
night by several couples of married or unmarried men and women attending the
"Five Pleasures". The first four are fish, meat, wine, grains and
food, and the last one is sexual intercourse. Before sexual intercourse,
meditation and other preparation rituals are required, and after a period of
flirting, sexual intercourse is performed in various f
orms. The man
and woman merge into one body in ble his female spouse is imagined to be the
goddess.
Seveliss, and
experience the unity of the personal soul and the soul of the universe. Sexual
intercourse is not for pleasure, but for Use sex to reach a higher spiritual
state. They think sex is the most natural and beautiful thing.
The old donkey
said to Agudengba: In this sexual ritual, the male practitioner imagines
himself to be the male god, whi
ral more temple
prostitutes passed by. The old donkey said to Agudengba: China and India are
both ancient nations, but their beliefs and folk customs are very different.
Browsing these local temples, I still can't forget China's ancient culture.
Old Donkey sang
a Chinese folk song "Heart Word Song":
Sit more quietly to calm your mind,
If you have little wine and sex, you will
have a pure heart.
Eliminate cravings to nourish the mind,
Recite ancient precepts to warn your mind,
Understand the truth to understand the
mind.
Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fables makes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
