Dear Sri Joshiji,

Vande Mataram! Jai Sri Ram! Jai Yogi Ramsuratkumar! My Master blesses you and family! Thank you for your message seeking
clarification about 'Tantrik Sadhana' and what it could achieve. We have been prompted to write an explanatory write up on 'Bharata
Shakti Tantrik Sadhana' which could also be shared by our other readers and patriotic children of Bharatamata.

With love and blessings, Yours in Bhagavan, Sadhu Rangarajan

Sri T.V. Kapali Shastry, disciple of Kavyakanta Vasishtha Ganapati Muni and Sri Aurobindo says, "Tantra Shastra develops the means
which allows one to commune with the Gods. Man is endowed with faculties all of which are not active or perceptible to the physical
mind, but are nonetheless real: and given the necessary touch of awakening and opportunity for development, they function with
much more effect and with an infinitely larger range than the usually active sense organs. The ancients knew this and developed
various lines of discipline for the development of his less-cared-for and hidden side of man in which lies the means for his deliverance
from helpless subjection to the bonds of physical nature." The renowned authority on Tantra Shastra, Sir John Woodroffe (Arthur
Avalon) says: "The Shakta Tantra is a Sadhana shastra of Monistic (Advaita) Vedanta. It is to me, a profound and powerful system,
and its doctrine of Shakti or Divine Power is one of the greatest evolved, through spiritual intuition, by the human mind which,
according to its teaching, is a manifestation of the Divine Consciousness Itself (Shiva).

This hidden power in man is identical to the 'Consciousness' of Max Plank or 'Elan Vital' of Henry Bergson or the
'Consciousness-Force' of Sri Aurobindo which pervades the entire universe. Our ancients knew the art and science of arousing this
consciousness, which they called Kundalini, through the technique of Tantra Sadhana, to bring out supernatural powers in the
physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual realms of individuals.

The Tantra Yogis also identified this power in the society as well as nation. The consciousness that manifests in the society and nation
is called Asmita by Brajendra Nath Seal and Chiti by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. The Tantra Yogis discovered that by arousing this
force the whole nation could be electrified and made powerful. They also discovered that for the entire universe, the nucleus of the
Consciousness-Force is Bharatvarsha. Mahayogi Sri Aurobindo says:" It is not a piece of earth, nor a figure of speech, nor a fiction of
the mind. It is a mighty Shakti, composed of the Shaktis of all the millions of units that make up the nation, just as Bhawani Mahisha
Mardini sprang into being from the Shakti of all the millions of Gods assembled in one mass of force and welded into unity." He later
wrote: "Mother India is not a piece of earth; she is Power, a Godhead, for all nations have such a Devi supporting their separate
existence and keeping it in being. Such beings are as real and more permanently real than the men they influence but they belong to a
higher plane, are part of the cosmic consciousness and being and act here on earth by shaping the human consciousness on which
they exercise their influence. It is natural for man who sees his own consciousness individual, national or racial at work and does not
see what works upon it and shapes it, to think that all is created by him and there is nothing cosmic or greater behind it." He
proclaimed emphatically, "India is the Bharat Shakti, the living energy of a great spiritual conception and fidelity to it is the very
principle of her existence…." The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram proclaimed: "India is not the earth, river, mountains of this land,
neither it is a collective name for the inhabitants of this country. India is a living being…. India is a goddess. If she likes she can
manifest in a human form."

Sir John Woodroffe says: "By India is not meant a particular stretch of the earth's surface peopled by men of varying worth and lack
of it. Why should anyone worship these except in the belief, that it and they are a grand display of the Power of God to whom alone
all worship is due and Who alone can be the inspiring principle of any effort towards national or racial regeneration and advancement."
He also says, "They will gain power (Shakti) to uphold their race and will receive all their desires if they serve their country in the
belief that service (Seva) of Shri Bharata is worship (Seva) of the Mahashakti Shri Bhagavati who, though appearing in one of Her
forms as Bharta Shakti is not merely a Devi of the Hindus but their name for the one Mother of the World."

During India's freedom struggle, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, whom Sri Auribindo hailed as "Rishi", gave the immortal song, 'Vande
Mataram' and the mantra of 'Vande Mataram' inspired countless heroes and martyrs to lay down their lives at the altar of the Mother.
While the majority of patriots and freedom fighters found an invigorating slogan which inspired them to dynamic political action and
immense self-sacrifice, a handful of renowned Tantriks explored the path of Bharata Shakti Tantra Sadhana to invoke a very powerful
occult force to destroy the enemies of Bharatmata and to achieve Her freedom. Satyadev Maharaj and Motilal Roy in Bengal, Vasishtha
Ganapati Muni and Subramania Sivam in Tamilnadu, and Mahayogi Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry, took up their intense Tantrik
sadhana to create a subtle spiritual force that would influence political developments in the world arena and bring in the emancipation
of Bharat. Sri Subramania Sivam evolved a 'Sribharati' sampradaya and endeavoured to set up a Sri Bharatmata Temple at
Papparappatti near Salem, for which the eminent patriot, Chitta Ranjan Das, the attorney of Sri Aurobindo in the famous Alipore Bomb
Case, laid the foundation stone, but unfortunately the temple did not come into existence due to the premature death of the
patriot-sannyasi. Vasishtha Ganapati Muni wrote 'Uma Sahasram' to invoke the Mahashakti for the liberation of Motherland. Kavi Yogi
Shuddhananda Bharati wrote 'Bhaarata Shakti Mahakavyam' which was acclaimed as a great poetic work arousing Bharatashakti by
Maharshi VVS Iyer and Swami Sivananda. Badarshi Mahatma's Bengali work, 'Deshaatma Bodh & Shrishri Deshamatrukaa Pooja',
the Hindi translation of which came out in 1925, presented an easy method of upaasana of Bharatashakti for the contemporary
Indians. The manuscript of "Daishika Shaastra", the shaft of Sri Bhagavati Kaushiki, was found in the Ashram of Sri 108 Sombari
Babaji Maharaj and it was brought out in print as "Bal Gangadhar Tilak Smarak Daishik Shastra" by Badrisah Duldhariya of Almoda,
Himalayas, in 1928, and it gave a profound theoretical exposition of adoration of Motherland. In fact, when Dr. Keshava Baliram
Hedgewar founded the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in 1925 to revive and revitalize the Hindu society and nation, he also chose
only the Deshamatrika Upasana Marga by making Bhagava Dwaja, the symbol of our nation, as Guru, and adopting a praarthana,
"namaste sadaa vatsale maatrubhoome…" as the daily prayer of Hindu swayamsevaks. Mahayogi Sri Aurobindo presented his
Bhavani Mandir scheme to erect a temple for Bharatamata. After his acquittal in the Alipore Bomb Case, in his famous Uttarpara
Speech, Sri Aurobindo referred to the message that he received from Krishna Vasudeva while he was in jail: "Since long ago I have
been preparing this uprising and now the time has come and it is I who will lead it to its fulfillment." After going into his self-imposed
exile in Pondicherry where he started his great Sadhana, Sri Aurobindo had proclaimed with deep foresight that the country would
obtain its independence on his very birth day. The Tantrik force invoked by the stalwarts in Tantra Sadhana resulted the rising up of
Azad Hind Fauz as a powerful influence on the three wings of India's defence forces resulting in revolts in the Army, Navy and Air
Force which drove the British to quit India. India became independent exactly on the birthday of Sri Aurobindo, on 15th August 1947.

On the momentous 15th day of August 1947, at Pondicherry the Mother invoked Bharata Mata:

"O our Mother, O Soul of India, Mother who has never forsaken thy children even in the days of darkest depression, even when they
turned away from thy voice, served other Masters and denied thee, now when they have arisen and the light is on thy face in the
dawn of thy liberation, in this great hour we salute thee.

"Guide us so that the horizon of freedom opening before us may be also a horizon of true life in the community of the nations.

"Guide us so that we may be on the side of great ideals and show to men thy true visage, as a leader in the ways of the spirit and a
friend and helper of all the peoples."

Though India has gained independence, the liberation of the nation is incomplete and imperfect. First of all, the country has been
vivisected. As Sri Aurobindo rightly pointed out in his radio talk from AIR Tiruchirapally Station on the eve of Indian Independence,
"The partition of the country must go….by whatever means, the division must and will go. For without it, the destiny of India might
be seriously impaired and even frustrated. But that must not be." Secondly, almost the entire Hindu population of Jammu and Kshmir
has been driven out of the land of Ksheer Bhavani, Mother Kashmira. The land of Kashmir must be restored to the Kashmiri Pundits
who have been driven out. Thirdly, our Hindu mothers and sisters have been brutally raped and killed in Bangla Desh, the land of
Dakeshwari, and our Hindu brethren have been forced to flee from there. Justice is to be done to them. Fourthly, those western influenced and anti-Hindu politicians who came to power immediately after independence have, in the name of 'Secularism', systematically destroyed the hoary Hindu values of life and culture of the nation and any mark of this country being a Hindu Nation is deliberately wiped out. Their destructive onslaught is to be thwarted. Fifthly, not only Hindus converted to Islam and Christianity, but
also those who blindly ape the western culture and way of life prefer themselves to remain as cultural bastards rather than proud children of the great sages and seers of this land. Finally, Patriotism is at the lowest ebb and people are prepared not only to sell their votes, but the very country itself for pecuniary benefits. Mother India stands today like Draupadi in the court of Kauravas. She is to be saved from these brutes.

In this hour of darkness, the only way of salvation for the nation is invoking the Bharata Shakti once again through Tantrik Sadhana
and Deshamatrika Upasana Marga which will create fiery Hindu lions in this country which is now like a forest infested with jackals
and wolfs. These Narasimhas will cleanse the country of all the Mahishasuras and Chanda Mundas and make our Motherland once
again Veerabhogya Vasundharaa, the Motherland of the Brave and the Patriotic. Settting up of Sri Bharata Bhavani's Mandir and
performance of Bharata Chandi Homas, Chandi Patha, etc. are the sole means to invoke this Bharatashakti. It is the dream of those
stalwarts like Bankim Chandra, Sri Aurobindo, Subramania Siva, Swami Vivekananda, Sister Nivedita and Subramania Bharati that has
taken the shape of Sri Bharatamata Mandir in Krishnarajapuram, Bangalore, where Sri Bharata Bhavani is installed on Sri Chakra and
invoked through Tantrik rites, homa, abhisheka, pooja and celebration of festivals like Navaratri and Akshaya Triteeya.

Akshaya Trieeya, falling on Thursday, May 8, 2008, is an auspicious day for the invocation of Sri Bharata Shakti. Every patriotic
Hindu, who is proud of his glorious culture and heritage, must install Bharatamata in their hearth and home and invoke the Mahashakti
not only for the material well-being of the individuals, families, society and nation, but also for the spiritual upliftment of all and for
installing Sri Bhavani Bharati as Loka Guru, the Preceptor of the World.

Vande Mataram!
