Yep! just as I thought. written by white people. Man!!! where are the books written by Indians? And not white people who took on indian names? No offense to white people, but If I learn of another culture I want to learn from the people of that culture. I remember when i took Indian Dance, Khatak, I learned from a Guru from manipur. He had a wife named Chrystal she was white. She taught Bharatnatyam she looked To' up doing it!!! didn't flow quite like an a native person from Bharati/India. So I took my Bharatnatym Classes from Roni David from Trivandrum India and the difference was noticeable!! I just like the way the natives move and teach. Like martial arts Chuck Norris be looking like he gotta take a shit when he be doing martial arts where as Jet Li be flowing like water with his movements. I want to imitate the authentic. |

"Written by an initiated Baul, this is a most interesting and unique work. The author (and editor) shows clearly that menstruation is regarded among the Baul as very auspicious and powerful. The Bauls live according to a philosophy that combines elements of the Tantric tradition with those of mainstream Hinduism, and they're especially devoted to the divine couple Radha and Krishna. At home in eastern India, yet roaming the country with their songs, they spread the word that communion with the Divine can be achieved with the help of the body: by ritual, sexual union and especially by making use of the forces inherent in menstrual fluid. It is because of this, that Bauls hardly ever practice their rituals at any other time than during the three and a half days of the menstrual period. It should be no surprise that a people embedded in a tradition so much focused on this aspect of the female body, gain and develop a rather specialist knowledge concerning it; much of which is represented in this book. The Baul's monthly ritual, 84 hours filled with music, passion and devotion, is known as "Manifesting the Full Moon at the Time of the New Moon", and its final aim is to "catch the uncatchable"; the unique energy possessed only by women. By union with a menstruating woman, also man can partake of the Goddess' powers which are distributed to him by way of a consenting woman. " Yep! just as I thought. written by white people.

Jesus Christ Reuben are you telling me these people are glorifying sexual union with a Menstruating woman? Having sex with a woman on her period?

My point exactly Hathor. But that's just how young women like to approach bruvas for sex though.whats up with that?  ? "Wanna do it?" My ex wife use to say that ish all the time "Wanna do something?" I be like huh? Do something? What? You wanna go bowling, change the tile in the bathroom? Do what? Then after a while I figured out thats how she lets me know she wanted sex. What the? ? What happened to the day when women would just come up on ya and start grabbing stuff on your body while they kissed you and you KNEW what they wanted. What happened to the day when women would say "what you did turns me on, I want you now" or "I was just thinking about how good it was last night and it's making me want you all over again" Dayum!! Women wanna don ski masks and grab ak47 and bull shit thinking they need to be soldiers but yet can't be what they were created to be, our companions and our counterparts. Picking up weapons for make-believe enemies from their paranoia but can't be warriors in the bedroom where it counts. Knowing the arts of sexual warfare! Thems the weapons yall need to learn. Tae bo that! "Yeah, lets get powerful...my period is on; wanna do it?" |
