Great-Bliss-Tantric-Sex-and-the-Path-to-Inner-Awakening

2. The students offer food and drinks to the guru, and the student of the same sex as the guru
offers their consort to the guru.
3. The guru consecrates the consort. Through armoring, the guru places the mantras of
Vajravilāsinī on the consort’s body 3x as per the sādhana (verses 68 to 72).
4. The guru and the consort make love in front of the student until the consort’s sexual fluids
flow. As they flow, the guru recites the seed mantra of Vajravilāsinī several times. The guru
focuses very strongly on being the deity, then allows the deity to release itself into the consort to
empower the consort. The student reverently observes them making love, and praises and honors
the guru, saying, “Truly, I witness Vajravilāsinī and Padmanarteśvara in union.”
5. The guru blindfolds the student and the consort.
6. The guru invites the students to make love. “Take, oh great beings, take this delightful god and
goddess who is beautiful, the bestower of erotic delight and the bestower of the state of
Enlightened Consciousness. Take this consort who will give you bliss. As you join in union, pay
attention to the third bliss, the Bliss of Cessation, and the third moment, Dissolving.”
7. The students salute each other in Añjali Mudrā. The woman says to the man, “Ah! My lotus
contains all pleasures. I grant accomplishment to the one who serves it. Within the lotus, with a
concentrated mind, perform the union. Here is found the Great Bliss.”
8. The students arouse each other sexually, and make love. Together, they achieve the first,
second, and third bliss of the Four Blisses of sexual yoga, and the first, second, and third
moment. The students are regarded by all as having attained the bliss of nirvāṇa.
9. The guru instructs the students to take off their blindfolds. The students perceive all
appearances as pure Essence.
10. The students offer each other Añjali Mudrā, and give each other words of praise for returning
from nirvāṇa into the world of appearances. They say to each other: “I honor you, as you return
to this world, to fulfill your desires and serve others out of love and bliss.”
11. The kula plays musical instruments and sings a song of praise to the consort.
Ah! His/her vajra/lotus contains all pleasures.
He/She grants accomplishment to the one who serves it.
Within his/her vajra/lotus, with a concentrated mind, perform the union.
Here is located the Great Bliss.
