Seven thousand years ago there was a great yogi; His name was Sada'shiva
--
Shiva.
In Tantra there are two cadres, two stages, or two varieties, amongst
yogis.
One of the stages is known as kaola, and the other Maha'kaola.
Kaola means the spiritual aspirant who has raised the coiled serpentine,
known as kulakun'd'alinii in Sanskrit, and brought it to the controlling
point of the pineal gland. (To establish the union of the fundamental
negativity with the fundamental positivity; of the starting point with the
culminating point.) Such aspirants are called kaola because they have
raised
the kulakun'd'alinii; the adjective of kula is kaola. This is how the word
is derived.
Kula* is the noun, kaola the adjective. All spiritual aspirants
(sa'dhakas),
each and every sa'dhaka, can become a kaola through sa'dhana' (spiritual
practices).
Maha'kaolas are rare personalities. For a devotee, the Maha'kaola is
called
Ta'raka Brahma. What is Ta'raka Brahma? The movement of this world, or
the
movement of each and every entity, is of a particular nature. There is in
the centre of an atom the nucleus, and electrons are moving around the
nucleus. In each and every system there is a nucleus, and other objects
are
moving around the nucleus. If there is any change in the comparative
applied
force of the centripetal and the centrifugal forces, then the cyclic order
will undergo metamorphosis. This is the expression, and in that case it
will
take a parabolic form, a parabolic movement.
The point where the parabolic and the elliptical figures touch each other
--
that tangential point -- is Ta'raka Brahma so far as the Cosmological
order
is concerned.
That Ta'raka Brahma takes shape, physical shape, to help the general
people
in their progress in the realm of Tantra and yoga. Such people are
Maha'kaolas.
Shiva was a Maha'kaola. He came here about 7000 years ago. After Him,
about
3500 years ago, there came another Maha'kaola. He was called Krs'n'a.
The difference between kaola and Maha'kaola is, the kaola raises his or
her
coiled serpentine, kulakun'd'alinii, through his or her sa'dhana'
(spiritual
practices), and establishes the union [of] the fundamental negativity and
the fundamental positivity; where in the case of the Maha'kaola, the
Maha'kaola has the power to raise the kulakun'd'alinii of others also.
A kaola can never raise the kulakun'd'alinii of others; he or she can
raise
his or her own kulakun'd'alinii. A Maha'kaola can, if so desired, raise
the
kulakun'd'alinii of others also. So Shiva, or Sada'shiva, was a
Maha'kaola.
And He brought all the expressions and activities, all the secrets, of
Tantra, within the framework of a system. That is, He systematized all
Tantric and yogic pursuits, or actions.
Shiva's spouse was Gaorii. She was also known as Pa'rvatii. In Sanskrit
'parvat" means "mountain". Gaorii was a mountain girl, a Himalayan girl;
that's why she is commonly known as "Pa'rvatii". She was also a great
yogi.
Now, Shiva and Pa'rvatii are treated as ideal. They are looked upon as the
ideals of each and every yogi, whether family person or
renunciate/ascetic.
It can be said, for a family man, a yogi who is a family man, Shiva is the
ideal. For a lady who is a yogi and a family person, Pa'rvatii is the
ideal.
For an ascetic, male or female -- for a male, Shiva is the ideal, and for
a
female ascetic, Gaorii is the ideal, Pa'rvatii is the ideal.
It is a fact, and most of the books on yoga are nothing but conversations,
dialogues, between Shiva and Pa'rvatii. Shiva is treated as the ideal man,
and Pa'rvatii as the ideal lady.
