Dear Subrotoji,
The last sentence of your question is about the most interesting and most important. It shows that you have not accepted whatever has been written but have placed an enquiry to the world...thus to your own heart about the validity of the information you have percieved. Congratulations.
Now for the data on the web site.
Please understand that half baked knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. Due to transparency in communication and the ease and availability of information, i.e. the scriptures and the practices of Indian tradition has permeated around the world. But, the true essence of the scriptures and the experience cannot be transmitted on the internet nor any other media. One has to obtain it from a Guru and he/ she has to live the scriptures in order to truly understand thier meaning. Otherwise, the scriptures and other texts will be interpreted in the context of the life which has been already led by the individual.
In the west, materialistic outlook....seeing is believing...type of thought process is highly prevalent...although the tide is slowly shifting...nevertheless, for the most part, the core of the individual is still outward oriented. I think you can understand what happens when the scriptures are interpreted in the materialistic perspective. This is more the case with the Tantric texts....especially the vamachara tantra texts. Remember that the rishis of yore anticipated the spiritual and transformational texts in the wrong hands...that's the reason why the texts have the essential information coded and hidden behind the easily decipherable gross information. While the materialistic mind gets hung up on the material interpretation of the text, the inner oriented mind tries to uncover the hidden truth and meaning behind the lines.
Another great reason why tantra is so popular in the west.
SEX SELLS!!
People are tired of the same run-of-the-mill concepts of energy release. Tantra gives them a new twist...people think they are growing spiritually.....while they are being sold to the same old concept ! That's why tantra is so popular in the west.. so much so that the very word tantra is associated with sex. I live here...I know exactly what I am talking about....and its sad. But in a way, this is a way of sifting out the false aspirant from the real aspirant.
I read through the web site. I have seen this time and time again...so many books and articles are available which carry the same information garbed in different colors and clothing.
Subrotoji, I humbly ask you to be very careful when you read interpretations of the Indian scriptures and to exhaustively enquire the authenticity and the source of that information before making it your own belief. I also pray that you find a Guru who will clear away the false veils and provide you with a path of true understanding and Knowledge.
Pranams.
Ravi B
