Shree Shree 1008 Kapalik Mahakal Bhairwand Saraswati

b. Punjab

A kapalika is a skull, and Shree Shree 1008 Kapalik Mahakal Bhairwand Saraswati has included it in his name because it reminds him that he is a guru who carries the sadness and troubles of an his disciples. As a Vaisnava he has been on his spiritual path for twenty-eight years.

"Faith is to have a spiritual life, and spiritual means God. If God is there, faith is there. In Tantra there are different ways of the same cult. The Vaisnavas, the Gorakhnathis, and the Aghoris are different, because one way is vegetarian and the other not. Meat is eaten by the Aghoris, but only after offering it before the Almighty to be blessed. Vaisnavas never eat meat; we are strictly vegetarian.

You must first understand that true Tantra is not a sexual symbol; it is the supreme worshiping of the Almighty. It is a supreme cult. We wear black as a sign of detachment from the world. It is a color that always remains black, no matter what other colors you put with it. The black robe shows the world that I am firm about my resolution. From the day I joined this cult, I have always worn black - it shows my truth.

Tantra means the chanting of the mantra worshiping the Almighty, and the God deities are Lord Shiva and the Goddess Kali [1]. The mantras are performed ritually and give fruitful results. Tantra is to be chanted and the rituals followed in peaceful places. In temples, cremation grounds, in dense forests, or in the mountains, that is where liberation is to be found by Tantra. Tantra cannot be narrated; it must be seen. The rituals are only performed at night, usually in the cremation grounds for the most peace. One must be a daring person to go into the cremation grounds at night, but we have nothing to fear because our willpower is solid like rock. Everyone has willpower, but in many it is sleeping. Nostradamus was also a Tantric. He was not from the same cult, but he was performing Tantric sattvas [2] along the same path. He knew, and we know, that Tantra is the most powerful way to give you mental peace and inner power.

A sense of samadhi is like life in a bubble. When you are sitting in samadhi, the fact remains that you are not there because you are with God. Samadhi links the Brahma chakra [3] to the Almighty, and you become completely detached from the world. Everyone on this earth must seek some self-realization, and self-realization only comes when you think deeply about who you really are and where you come from. By thinking in this way, you will understand that it is possible to detach yourself from the world while living in the world. You live in this world like a lotus flower rising up above the mud."

[1] Hindu Goddess of Creation and Destruction.
[2] Spiritual practices.
[3] The highest of the seven chakras, located at the crown of the head.
