| Summary: | In this text, I discuss some traditional approaches to Tantra, focusing on the spiritual paths that use the physical union of a woman and a man to achieve sacred sexual unity. I then look at some key features of the Tantric doctrine of Czech esoteric master, Guru Jára. I examine in detail his views on how Tantric energies manifest and are experienced in human life and relationships. I present the sources of Guru Jára’s Tantric doctrine in the Kaula and Todala Tantra lineages, in the worship of the Dasa Mahavidya, and in his claims of direct access to ancient Egyptian mysteries. Finally, I mention some examples of Tantric exercises proposed by Guru Jára to individuals and couples. |
