Shri Kali Ashram
Since the body and mind are the gift of the Divine, the Vedic science teaches one to cherish life. Only by living life to one's total potential can one exhaust the desire to be reborn. Only then can we absolve karma; that is, our involvement with the negative aspect of the world into which we desired to be born. The Veda teaches us that one is not born by chance but in accordance with the Divine will. Therefore, we are born due to a Divine purpose (Manu Dharma Shastra). However, our limitations of being born (karma), warrants us to be mindful of our Spiritual nature and not live whimsically (as mere bioorganisms) believing in the illusion of our limitations. By realising our Spiritual nature, we realise our true potential and nature that incidentally also explores our total potential (sva-dharma). To observe a Spiritual life, we need to fulfill certain duties (samskaras) that enhance our skills (dharma, artha, kama, and moksha) and develop our potential as human beings. If we do not fulfill these duties, the Vedic science asserts that we will not fulfill the purpose of our birth. This unfulfilled void, according to the Vedic science, means the nonperforming of the purpose of birth. This is known as adharma. The noninvolvement and therefore nonfulfillment of life is adharma; its antidote is the fulfillment of life (dharma). The non-fulfillment of life is understood as falling into the traps of karma. This void or nonperformance of dharma is the cause of rebirth. This is quite different to the contemporary interpretations of Buddhism, which advocate the avoidance of participating in life's course. Unfulfilled dharma will cause us to be reborn to fulfill the unexpressed life in Vedism.
Due to this, the Veda and the Tantras teach us to live a total life. Shri Kali Ashram teaches the spiritual science of Shaivism. Since it teaches a complete science, it teaches the path that is known as the Samaya Marga (Right-hand Tantra) where one learns to live life as a complete human being.
This Shakta-Shaiva Ashram also teaches what is presently known as Left-hand Tantra. This includes the Vama, Kula, Kaula (Left-hand Tantra), and the Krama (aspirants who want to live by the inner secrets of Tantricism). The inner secrets of Tantricism are for those practitioners (sadhakas) who aspire to live completely as Spiritualists. Indeed, the Left-hand Tantrics do not stop at becoming perfect human beings but aspire to become perfect Spiritual beings. In the process, they resolve all aspects of humanity (including sexuality) according to the Spiritual philosophy of the specific Goddess they worship (puja). In this Ashram we inititate (diksha) one into the science of Vama, Kula, Kaula, and Krama Tantricism. Tantricism is the esoteric secrets (rahasya-sampradaya) of Shaivism. One need say that the other Agamas (Vaishnava, Bauddha or Buddhist) too have within their corpus of observances the science of Tantricism. We also initiate sadhakas into Buddhist Tantricism.
