THE YONI (VAGINA) TANTRA
http://www.salvationscience.com/
The main image in Hindu temples is the Siva Lingum, in the form of
conjoined phallus and vagina or lingum and yoni. Ritual water is
poured over it, as was done on the Egyptian sacrificial stones, with
the image of two streams joining as one. You figure it out. Jai Om. -

The earliest reference to yoni (vagina) tattva in Kaula tantra seems
to be in the Kaula Jnana Nirnaya of Matsyendranath (English
translation published by Prachya Prakashan, Benares, 1986):-- One
should always consume the physical blood and semen. (KJN, Patala 8)
Other Kaula tantras deal with the subject of menstrual blood in very
plain terms. Matrikabheda Tantra (English translation Indological
Book House 1990) describes the different types:-- "Shri Shankara
said: The first menses appearing in a woman who has lost her
virginity is Svayambhu blood. In a maiden born of a married woman
and begotten by another man, that which arises is Kunda menses, the
substance causing the granting of any desire (Yeshe Norbu - the wish-
fulfilling gem). Deveshi, a maiden begotten by a widow gives rise to
Gola menses, which subdues gods. The menses arising in the first
period after a virgin becomes a married woman is the all bewildering
Svapushpa."
(MT, Patala 8) (Simply put, menses is one of the Five Sacraments
of Genetic Efflux. These alleged different qualities of menses, may
or may not be so.)
The very first chapter of the MT mentions a substance called sambal,
described in the commentary as a woman's menstrual discharge. This
substance allows the tantrik adept to perform various sorts of
alchemical operations. (So far no mention of the more important
Sacrament of urine.)
The Kaulavali Nirnaya (Agamanusandhana Samiti, Calcutta nd), edited
by Sir John Woodroffe, is a digest of other Kaula tantras.
Summarising chapter 18,
Sir John paraphrases the tantra:-- "there are people who
regard semen and menstrual fluid with disgust, but they forget that
the body by which they hope to attain Liberation is composed of these
two forms of matter, that the marrow, bone and tendons have come from
the father and the skin, flesh and blood from the mother. It further
says that there is no reason for man's disgust for excreta or urine,
for these are nothing but food or drink which has undergone some
change and contains living creatures, and the Brahman substance is
not
absent therefrom...All things are pure. It is one's mentality which
is evil." (KN, introduction, pp19-20)
Reverence for Women
The Kaulas regarded female gurus very highly and there were many
examples of yoginis or female tantriks. In Yoni (Vagina) Tantra
Patala 7 we find:--
"Women are divinity, women are life, women are truly jewels." This
sentiment is echoed in many other tantras, such as Shakti Sangama
Tantra, Devirahasya and elsewhere. A woman is the goddess:-- "Worship
carefully a woman or a maiden as she is Shakti, sheltered by the
Kulas. One should never speak harshly to maidens or women." (KJN,
Patala 23) (The shastras are written almost entirely by men. To
the Tantric man, his Tantric mate is the "boat" of his Salvation.
Therefore, she is his Savior, as it were.)
"In Kaula, every woman is thought of as a manifestation of the
Goddess. No man may raise his hand, strike or threaten a woman. When
she is naked, men must kneel and worship her as the Goddess. She has
equal rights with men on all levels." (Occult World of a Tantrik
Guru, Values Vol.IX)
"Women are heaven; women are dharma; and women are the highest
penance. Women are Buddha; women are the Sangha; and women are the
perfection of Wisdom." (CT 8,30)
Kamarupa, The Yoni Tantra hails from Cooch Bihar (Kocha), but many of
the Kaula Tantras originate from Kamarupa. In Puranic legend, this is
the place where the yoni of Devi fell to earth after the Goddess'
body was sliced into 50 segments by the discus of Vishnu.
First Patala
O Lady Goddess!Worshipping in this manner, liberation is placed
within a person's reach.
After performing yoni puja using these methods, the devotee attains
whatever is desired -- there is no doubt of it. The fruit of doing
puja to the great yoni, deliverer from the ocean of misery, is life
and enhanced vitality.
Second Patala
Having seen the yoni full of menses, after bathing and reciting the
mantra 108 times, a person becomes a Siva on earth. One should recite
the mantra after offering both one's own semen and the yoni flowers.
By all means a sadhaka should have intercourse in the yoni,
previously caressing the Shakti's breasts.One becomes instantly
regenerated and fully alive by using (drinking?) the water from
washing (i.e. urine?) yoni and lingam. After worshipping the great
yoni according to injunction, one should make an offering. The water
of the yoni is of three types (urine, semen, and menstruum) and one
should offer it to the (Kundalini) Shakti.
Third Patala
The miraculous Yoni Tattva Tantra is the best of all tantras. The
only evil in sexual intercourse is disgust for blood and semen.
Combining semen with menses...
Fourth Patala
What knowledge in the three worlds (dimensions) can match the
magnificence of the yoni tattva?
Sixth Patala
Liberation is achieved through enjoyment. Happiness is gained through
enjoyment. Therefore, by every effort, a sadhaka should become an
enjoyer. The wise man should always avoid blame, disgust or shame of
the yoni.
If one should lick the elixir (urine, semen, or menses) at the edge
of the yoni, evil in one's body or dwelling place is certainly
destroyed.
The leftovers (Genetic Efflux) of both the Shakti and the Vira should
be drunk. ...all karmas are destroyed and nothing in the three worlds
becomes unattainable.
Seventh Patala
After eating and drinking, one should then consume yoni tattva. Of
all food, this is the food which should be worshipped fearlessly.
(The Five Yoni Tattvas must be the Five Ambrosias of Mahayana
Tantras: urine, semen, menstruum, milk, and saliva.)
That which has been revealed to you is the whole essence hidden
in all tantra.
...all defects and evils of a hundred births are immediately
destroyed. ...then one is freed from all defects and stains of
all births.
Eighth Patala
Without sexual union there is never liberation.
Meditate with yoni on the tongue, yoni in the mind, yoni in the ears
and yoni in the eyes. Mighty Lady, all sadhana is vain unless with
the yoni. Therefore, reject other pujas and do Yoni Puja.
