Shri
Guru Granth Sahib : The Granth is
the central text of Sikhism, a religion that emerged in the
Punjab region of India in the 15th Century. Sikhism is a unique
faith which has aspects of Islam: monotheism and iconoclasm,
and Hinduism: reincarnation, karma and nirvana. However Sikhism
is distinct from Hinduism and Islam. The Sikh Gurus (teachers),
contemporaries of Luther and Calvin, were reformers who
rejected the caste system and much of the apparatus of Hindu
ritual and legalism. They promoted religious tolerance and the
equality of women. The founding Guru, Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji,
(1469-1538), is noted for the saying "There is no Hindu, there
is no Muslim."
° Sikhism
(home)
A progressive religion well ahead of its time when it was
founded over 500 years ago, The Sikh religion today has a
following of over 20 million people worldwide and is ranked as
the worlds 5th largest religion. Sikhism preaches a message of
devotion and remembrance of God at all times, truthful living,
equality of mankind and denounces superstitions and blind
rituals. Sikhism is open to all through the teachings of its 10
Gurus enshrined in the Sikh Holy Book and Living Guru, Sri Guru
Granth Sahib.Page about: Sikh

Sexuality andTantra: Tantra
does not advocate an epicurian or libertine philosophy. Quite the
contrary, the practices which involve behavior which is regarded
by conventional Hinduism as 'sinful' (such as eating meat,
drinking alcohol, and having sexual union), normally requiring
expatiatory behavior, are supposed to only be engaged in by
spiritually advanced practicioners in the appropriate ritual
context.
The
Tantra of the Great Liberation. (Mahanirvana
Tantra). [1913] This is
the best known of the Tantric scriptures. It was translated by
Sir John Woodruffe (under the pseudonym 'Arthur Avalon'), one
of the few Indologists to gain direct access to this obscure
and secretive branch of Hinduism. Framed as a conversation
between the god Shiva and goddess Shaki, this text describes
the chakra, or subtle energy structure of the human body,
ceremonies, yogic practices and mantras for meditation, and a
summary of the Hindu laws (dharma) regarding sexual
behavior.
Kama
Sutra of Vatsayayana This is the
earliest and best known of the Indian sex manuals. It has been
variously dated from 300 B.C. to 400 A.D. This translation was
published by the Kama Shastra Society in 1883.
The
Ananga Ranga This book was
written by the Indian poet Kalyan Mall much later than the Kama
Sutra, in the sixteenth century A.D. This translation was
published by the Kama Shastra Society in 1885.
The
Perfumed GardenThis work was
written in the 16th century A.D. by the Shaykh Umar ibn

The Upanishads:
Max
Müller, translator (1879) The
Upanishads are a continuation of the Vedic philosophy, and were
written between 800 and 400 B.C. They elaborate on how the soul
(Atman) can be united with the ultimate truth (Brahman) through
contemplation and mediation, as well as the doctrine of Karma--
the cumulative effects of a persons' actions.
