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

Creation Stage – Utpatti Krama
Deity Yoga – Jñānamudrā
You embrace your first consort (mudrā), the deity.
Arising from Emptiness - Ropitam Śūnyatā
Verse 37: The practitioners “arise from emptiness,” meaning they see themselves as presently
appearing but as insubstantial as a reflection of the Moon on water. You see things clearly.
Armoring - Kavaca
Verse 38: Armoring (kavaca) prepares your physical body for bringing the actual deity into it,
strengthening your body to withstand the intense power of the deity.
Generating the Seed Syllables of the Goddess – Bīja Akṣara
Verse 39: In general, wrathful deities arise from a red solar disk (sūrya maṇḍala) and peaceful
deities arise from a white lunar disk (candra maṇḍala). In the sādhana, however, the solar disk
accurately represents the Vajravilāsinī’s intense passion and feminine essence. While the
sādhana follows the system of steps to visualizing the deity called the Five Awakenings
described in Chapter 5: Deity Yoga, the step of generating the lunar disk is omitted to focus on
feminine power.
Verse 40: “The yellow fluid that delights the mind” is urine (mūtra), whose source is her yoni.
“The brilliant flowing red fluid” is menstrual blood (rakta), or female fluids in general.
The first of the five seed syllables to appear is eṃ, her single innermost seed syllable. The seed
syllable arises at the level of the Dharmodaya on the female practitioner’s yoni, not above it.
Verse 41: The Three Kāyas are three dimensions of a buddha: the ultimate dimension of truth
(dharmakāya), the subtle dimension of sexual enjoyment (saṃbhogakāya), and the dimension of
physical emanation (nirmāṇakāya). All appearances arise from the female practitioner’s yoni.
Verse 42: The revolving bliss wheel (ānanda cakra) is a symbol of the blissful nature of ultimate
reality. The blending of the red female seed essence and the white male seed essence occurs from
the counter-clockwise spinning of the bliss wheel.
