Development of Hinduism

15. GITA
Rukmani the daughter of King Rukmangad. Radha was married to..... Krishna who abandons
his lawfully wedded wife Rukmini and seduces Radha wife of another man and lives with her
in sin without remorse.
Having started with the rasleela with gopis of vrindavan, it was taken up by the sex tantric cult
which took Krishna cult to another level. Radah probably was an interpolation of the Tantric
cult.
The Padma Purana describes 18,000 cowherd-girls (gopis) among whom it says 108 are the
most important. Among those 108, eight are considered more important still, and among the
eight, two have a special position - Chandravali and Radharani. Of the two, Radha is considered
the foremost.
“If you want to empower your spiritual evolution, you can be helped by the sensual software of
TantraWorks, which was inspired by traditional Tantra, the only spiritual discipline which utilizes
sexuality in a creative and transcendental way TantraWorks is for open-minded sensual beings
irrespective of race, gender or faith.”

Tantra is probably a Gnostic introduction to India as a science even though it existed in all
societies. Gnostic Christianity talks about the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene
as it became popular these days through the Da Vinci Code. The Mandaean texts speak of
Manichean sexual mysteries: “Then I explained to you, my disciples, that there is yet another
Gate (sect) that derives from Msiha (Messiah). They are called “Zandiqi” (saints)and ‘Mar dMani”
(of Lord Mani). They sow seeds in concealment” –Ginza (right) 9:1 It is therefore quite possible
that Manichaen Gnostics introduced this art in India. Since they influenced Buddhism we see
this more among the Buddhsit art. It was somewhere between the 1st and 6th centuries that
the Kama Sutra, originally known as Vatsyayana Kamasutram ('Vatsyayana's Aphorisms on
Love'), was written. So it fall within the developing period of Hinduism.
Even in the gnostic tradition there were two parallel traditions; one ascetic and the other
sensual. This is surprisingly paralleled in Hinduism too.
