International Nath Order

Teachings from many lands focusing on our synthesis of the Adinath and Uttara Kaula lines as a spiritual path.

Vira Sadhana

August 22, 2024

In the lore of Tantrika there exists the Sanskrit word Vira. This word is intended to reflect the idea of a motivated spiritual hero.  One who exerts. The context in this case, comes from the idea of an individual aspirant accomplishing specific premeditated attainments and goals. In Tantrika, these goals include both the spiritual and mundane. 

In this context, Tantrika reveals that homo sapiens of any race or caste could both practice (exert) and succeed in many aspects of Tantrika. In other words, the personal accomplishment and success in sadhana (exertion) and the attainment of that intention.

While the process remains open to all people, there are few who conquer all the possibilities in one lifetime. If you are sufficiently talented, you will certainly attain, learn and experience new things of great value. This is an investment in your individual spiritual development and future.

Tantrika’s view remains in conflict with the idea that only specific “familial priestly bloodlines” could practice and succeed. Tantrika called foul on this narrative. The reasoning remains that all homo sapiens contain the spark and potential to access the frequencies, vibrations and energy of the Divine. In this case, it was the mission of the aspirant to move forward and both experience and reflect this divine potential in local space and therefore real life. This remains one requirement for tangible success in Tantrika. This is family lore.

Initiation remains a serious basis for our meme of both becoming and not becoming. The details however assert the requirement that you must personally succeed in application. Siddhi – a thing brought to a high level of accomplishment and relative success reflected in the human process. Individual goals among homo sapiens exhibit spectacular variations. Some goals are better than others. FYI.

In my opinion, we must consider the position of these two lineal narratives. One says, “no, you can not” and Tantrika says, “yes, you can.”  I don’t know your view, but I remain pro homo sapiens. Encourage and assist the best of any family, caste or gender to ascend the helix process through their own initiative.  While this potential remains our birthright, the standard is adjudicated by the values of perceived merit in the actions and attainments achieved by the individual. By their progress in this lifespan, we shall know them.
