There are different versions of his story found in the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the Puranas, among other texts. This makes the tale dragging and boring, to put it bluntly. Yogapedia explains Kamadeva Hindu mythology offers several different versions of Kamadeva's origins. Could she please write more such.

Khowa sect, Vaishnavism, The category as initiated by June McDaniel in her work is applied for the case study of the Assam, Kamakhya Bengal region in India. The new category marks a sharp distinction from the classical Tantra. The study attempts to explore the category further and expand it into the area of Assam in India. The Rati Khowa sect grew after the schism in the popular Vaishnavite movement in Assam. The sect is of esoteric nature which displays the amalgamation of Vaishnavite and Tantric elements. It could be seen in a few districts of Assam. The rituals practised by the sect comes under the left- hand path of Tantra and thus are not approved by the societal norms. Rituals are open only to the participants practised in secret and excluding the outsiders completely. The study will attempt to view the Rati Khowa sect as a folk tantric category. In the process, it will also examine that the category of folk Tantra in Assam is dissimilar to the category of folk Tantra in Bengal as viewed by June McDaniel. Introduction The Indic religious setting comprises distinct traditions quite peculiar in their understanding and way of life.

  • Dattatreya – Avadhuta Gita
    DATTATREYA: LA CANCIÓN DEL AVADHUT Versión española de la traducción inglesa del Avadhut Gita (con transcripción sánscrita) Por S. Abhayananda DATTATREYA: LA CANCIÓN DEL AVADHUT INTRODUCCIÓN La Canción del Avadhut De todos los tratados místicos de la literatura india antigua, el Avadhut Gita, o Canción del Avadhut, es uno de los más elocuentes y apremiantes. Su tema es el conocimiento unitivo obtenido a través de la visión mística, el conocimiento del eterno Sí Mismo. Este conocimiento no se limita a los místicos de una determinada tradición cultural, sino que es universal entre todos aquellos que han logrado la visión mística. Hombres y mujeres de todos los países y todas las convicciones religiosas han experimentado de primera mano la Realidad eterna, y La han realizado como su propia Identidad esencial. Algunos de los representantes mejor conocidos de este conocimiento universal son los rishis upanisádicos y Shankaracharya en la tradición vedántica, al-Hallaj y Jalaluddin Rumí en la tradición sufí, Shakyamuni y Ashvagosha en la tradición budista, y Meister Eckhart y Juan de la Cruz en la tradición cristiana. Todos han manifestado el conocimiento revelado de su identidad con la única, eterna, Realidad, y declarado, de una u otra manera, su acuerdo con las palabras de la santa cristiana Catalina de Génova, «Mi Yo es Dios, no reconozco ningún otro Yo excepto mi Dios Mismo». A lo largo de la Historia, la aserción de los místicos de todas las tradiciones culturales ha sido que «la visión de Dios» revela la unidad esencial del hombre con el Ser Absoluto, despertándolo a su verdadera y eterna Identidad.
