NATHA's TANTRIC TEACHING
Natha’s goal is to let the individual develop a „higher consciousness“ and integrate itself into „The highest Being“ or „The Absolute“, a kind of cosmic deity. The tools for this are an esoteric insight and special religious sexual techniques that Natha itself regards as a neutral science. The basis in the methods to develop the consciousness is the so called Tantra – an esoteric Indian teaching. In short, the essential point of Tantra is to convert, or to “transfigure”, the individual by sex, sanctified by certain rituals, into a higher sprituality.
According to Natha, the man contains a positive energy pole (Yang, Shiva, plus pole) and the woman contains a negative pole (Yin, Shakti, minus pole). The poles contain a kind of potential energy of divine quality. Between the poles, a kind of strong electrical tension or energy may arise. Certain rituals followed by Natha can activate this sexual energy and convert it to a spiritual form. This conversion to a higher consciousness may be delayed by the “karma”. If one engages in concrete matters or activities and actively acts in relation to them, according to the karma teaching one is bound by a reason-effect–relation (=karma) to those matters and therefore the salvation and the development are delayed. Therefore it is important to keep away from those matters to avoid the “karmic”.
Natha has developed it’s ideas about world, man and salvation from a certain Hindu school (the Kashmir Shaivism), and Hindu worldviews penetrate Natha’s teaching, for example that man must get free from karma and by a special knowledge und special exercises should ascend to the cosmic deity. To this Hindu skeleton, Natha attaches a series of notions and understandings taken from Daoism, Buddhism, the Romanian Orthodox Christianity, western Occultism and New Age (Astrology, Enneads etc)
