About this episode
In this conversation about the mechanism of image-worship and the subtler (and more radical) aspects of the T?ntrik worship tradition, we carefully explain what it is to be a pa?u or anu, a discreet unit of consciousness (i.e an embodied soul or j?va) and then carefully point out why the ?navopaya is so suited for most of us, despite our pretense at high-flying non-dual philosophies! The ?navopaya assumes duality, individuality and the separate, external existence of God that can be invoked, evoked and experienced in the vigraha (image). We discuss how the goal of ?navopaya is a kind of immersion in the Goddess through worship and other techniques that can very well be understood as a kind of "possession" (ave?a) experience. Jai M?
