Tantra Meditation Retreat at Osho Nisarga
The Tantra Meditation Retreat held in Osho Nisarga in India, near Dharmsala, happened in the last week of April, culminating in my birthday celebration on the 28th. In this seven day group we practiced 26 methods from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. To do these methods in the part of the world where they were first developed is a great blessing. We feel the power and the beauty of the Himalayan Mountains nourishing our meditation practice. The group was a gathering of 44 wonderful people from all over the world. Some of the sessions were accompanied by live music, lifting us into ecstasy.
Some of the sutras, (spiritual aphorisms) were on playfulness, and we had a carnival to celebrate this. Other sutras offered an opportunity to enter into communion with nature, so we went on a couple of early morning treks, to forest and river. The many and varied meditation methods helped participants to discover a whole rainbow of ways in which to experience the awakening of expanded consciousness and heightened sensitivity. Overall, this retreat offered an opportunity to expand into our vast potential, as creative, loving, aware and blissful beings. As the saying goes, ‘one picture is worth a thousand words.’ Enjoy the beautiful photo presentation from the Tantra Meditation Retreat, taken by Nick and by Khirad, below. And mark the date for the next retreat in your diary: November 5-15, 2010.

While I love OSHO for what he has given to the world in terms of spirituality, I find myself having a question for his disciple.
Disclaimer – This is not meant to dishonour what you are doing, but nevertheless I find it hard not to ask, and in asking if i do something you don’t particularly like, blame it on the EGO.
Question:
Why is TANTRA, always associated first with sex by most non-indians?
I was taught that TANTRA – comes from the root words “TAN” and “TRA” which means “expansion of consciuosness”. This is possible through the five “panchamakaras” and “MAITHUNA” (Tantric Sex) is just one of the five things to do.
If you partake yourself only of “MAITHUNA” and miss out on the other four, either you are a coward or a fraud. On your site, there is Maithuna and only maithuna with no mention of the other four, why is that?
Will someone please answer my humble query? Thank you.

Tantra is associated with sex by many Westerners because they are not aware of the scope of what Tantra has to offer. I have been working for the past 12 years to help people in the West to become aware that Tantra is a path to Enlightenment through methods of meditation which include the full spectrum of human nature.
What you are saying about my site is not true. If you would read what is on the site you will see that I am offering the Tantra Meditation Retreat which offers 9 days on the 112 meditations from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. Perhaps you are too fixated on Maithuna and therefore did not see the full scope of what I am teaching.
Blessings and Love,
