Origins of Tantra and Tantric Sex - The Nath Tradition

More info at http://hamsa-yoga.org

Dattatreya was a liberated saint, one of the highest buddha s, of the Lal Pujari tradition, not a nath yogi, who tried to liberate the aghora yogis.
The Nath tradition (Sampradaya) is a timeless lineage of spiritual masters, connected with Infinite Consciousness through the greatest Yogi of all ages, Babaji Gorakshanath, (the same introduced in Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi).
These ancient yogis discovered that the secret of cosmic consciousness is intimately linked with breath mastery. The life force, which is ordinarily used for bodily functions, can be channeled for higher activities by a method of calming and stilling the ceaseless demands of the breath. As we peer into the akashic records of the misty past, we get a glimpse of the lineage of the Nath Yogis.
It began from Adi Nath, Lord Shiva himself, who gave it to Matsyendranath and his consort Parvati Nath. She gave it to Shanmuk Nath, Ganesh and Nandi Nath.
Then Lord Krishna as Vishnu initiated Lord Vivasvat, the Spirit of our sun. The lineage was later guarded by the kings of the solar dynasty. Then Vaivasvat Manu, King Ikshavaku down to Harishchandra, then to Lord RaghuNath (Rama), 47th in descent from Ikshavaku (He is the 8th Rudra, esoterically connected with Shiv Goraksha Babaji).
It is through this grand lineage of the Nath Yogis that the royal science of Kriya Yoga has been preserved and handed down through the corridors of time by the ever living Shiv Goraksha Babaji.
Yogiraj Siddhanath is descended from the solar Dynasty of Ikshavaku Ram. His spiritual lineage is also from the same source - blessed by Mahavatar Babaji to spread this Divine science of Kriya Yoga in the East and West.
The Nath Sampradaya does not recognize caste barriers, and their teachings were adopted by outcasts and kings alike.
The heterodox Nath tradition has many sub-sects, but all honor Gorakhnath and Matsyendranath as their originators and supreme Masters.

Yogiraj is a living master and solar seer, and helps sincere practitioners of yogic meditation awaken to higher levels of consciousness through chakra awakening/activation and esoteric practices of Himalayan yoga.

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath was born on May 10, 1944 in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. He has been meditating since the age of 3, and spent his early years in the Himalayas amongst the HamsaNath yogis, in whose presence he was transformed. The divine transformation flowered after his deep and personal experiences in 1961 and 1967 with the yogi-christ Mahavatar Shiv-Goraksha-Babaji, the same spiritual master described in Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi. He has a wife of 30+ years, Gurumata Shivangani, with whom he built by hand the Hamsa Yoga Sangh Ashram (Spiritual Retreat) outside the city of Pune, near Bombay, India. They have two sons, and two grandchildren.

Yogiraj teaches yogic meditation for the evolution of human consciousness. These perennial practices of yoga are the most ancient closely guarded sacred practices of the Himalayan yogis and masters from time immemorial. They help the practitioner gradually transform him/herself into the likeness of his/her own divinity.

This ancient art and science has been a way of life for rare yogis and ascetics of India and abroad who have sacrificed everything in the search for their own inner Truth, their inner Godessence. Today, Yogiraj demonstrates in his own life and livingness, that powerful spiritual practice can be integrated with family life and a career. By the blessings of Babaji, Yogiraj teaches these techniques, which he collectively calls "The Alchemy of Total Transformation" to sincere seekers throughout the world, who wish to integrate these practices into their daily life, without the necessity of giving up worldly pursuits.

These techniques are called:
1. Mahavatar Babaji's Kriya Yoga (N.B., the exact same kundalini kriya originally given to Lahiri Mahasaya in the 19th century)
2. Siddhanath Surya Yoga - A dynamic osmosis of solar healing. Pranic self-healing with solar power.
3. Siddhanath Hamsa Yoga - The Way of the White Swan.

If earth peace is to herald the dawn of the new age, let us all realize that:

Humanity is one's only religion,
Breath one's only prayer, and
Consciousness one's only God.

i am a Nath, i am about 16 years old, and i am discovering many things about my religion i never knew before and am sure there is more, it seems like a lot .so my question is "do we have to practice every thing or pick one of many paths of enlightenment and stick to it?"

[HamsaYogi]

@skullfaced5555 The Nath Sampraday outlines the appropriate protocols. It is not a religion. Kriya Yog is the science of consciousness evolution and transformation. Come and get initiated into Kriya Yog and the Nath Sampraday.

this is a gracious teaching on man and woman that helps them to respect each other and enjoy the difference......thats good medicine these days

[jalahasti]

"A man reminds a woman where she should go, a woman reminds a man where he came from" - how beautifully spoken HamsaYogiJi ! I truly appreciate how you put it :)

[frankbough1955]

such a nice voice this man has

[shushulea]

Beautiful! Namaste Babaji!!!! <3

do you think shiva is attached to parvati? do you think there is any one else besides her?

do you think all this universe somthing besides shiva an shakthi? really..dedication to the goddess in the form of your wife is not slavery.

"Satguru" literally translates as "a teacher that assists in guiding his/her student every step of the way on the spiritual path". Shiva (God) accepts our worship whether we have a Satguru or not. So you are right in one respect. However, to attain nirvikalpa samadhi, every Shaiva/Shaktha tradition decrees one have a Satguru.

[angelforfreedom]

This is true also. Shiva (male) and Vishnu (male) begot a child named Lord Ayyappan!! Lord Ayyappan is heavily worshiped in South India (where Indians also tend to have less sexual and gender hang-ups). However, Lord Vishnu had transformed Himself completely in sexuality and form into a female (known as Mohini). Lord Ayyappan is called "Hari-Hara Putra" (ie: "son of Vishn & Shiva"). Swamiji was just generalizing. But worry not, original Hinduism acknowledges and accepts the LGBT community.

a good man, who upholds tolerance, became a compassionate teacher, and in his compassion decided to lose to tolerance, and let it win. And the compassionate teacher became enlighten about tolerance.

[aghoranathi]

u say that one needs a guru to understand but the best gurus that I have read say that the ultimate guru is your own guru the "sadguru" or atman/brahman that rests with u so to say. Thanks for all the references for study that you made in yr comment.

What I understood from this is that one cannot be without the other. The Man cannot be without Woman, Woman without Man. They are parrallel in connection. When One hurts the other will feel their pain..
