Forbidden Tantra

Finding a Master

Finding a tantric master and preparing to undertake these disciplines is difficult, and attempting to learn from those who do not

know them is useless and may even be injurious.

Spectrum of Practices

Those who do know the practices rarely teach

them because many of the practices, like scientific experiments, require a precise

technique in order to yield results. And if the practitioner's intentions are not pure, some

practices can be used for destructive and selfish purposes.

For example there are scriptures which can be classified as "applied tantric science," which

contain formulas which illintentioned tantrics can use for marana (killing), vashikarana

(seduction), mohana (manipulating the minds of others),vidveshana (creating animosity between

two people), and other negative purposes.

But even when the purpose of these practices is not negative, experimenting with them without

the guidance of an adept is like playing with nuclear weapons. This is why the scriptures label

them "forbidden tantra." To discourage misinformed and unprepared students from

undertaking them, the adepts warn: "An aspirant should not even open and read the

scriptures containing these practices (prayoga shastra) without the guidance of a master."
