Well, this is great, but unfortunately, few people in western society are going to know this (or even care) when they are teens and early 20's. I have been very dedicated to anti-aging and even reverse aging because I know that I started this entire process quite late in life. I am definitely in a semi-sanyas process right now, but I still enjoy enjoy limited aspects of the material life. No, I don't live in a hut isolated from society. In fact, I love my current life as it is a very nice balance, a balance that was not there 20 years ago because I had no clue what Dr. Svoboda was even talking about in those days. Wanting a very long life is definitely desirable if one plans to use the extra time wisely. My purpose? To be a model of prudent and balanced living into a very advanced age.

Dr Robert, i have some questions that i want to ask to you like What is the reason behind sexual allegations on famous indian guru like Swami Rama, Swami Vishnudevananda, Swami Satchidananda and many others who had the knowledge of Vajroli muda and moola bandha and other hath yogic and tantric techniques....Why they fell into the trap of sexual craving? Why they were not able to overcome their sexual impulse ?? Were they dealing with their runanubandha through sexual act? But why that sexual practice got converted into sexual abuse? How sexual allegations were filed against them by their female disciple in the court of law? I hope you will answer

if kaam is under purushaarth then why kaam alongside with kkrodh,, lobh,, moh are considered paaash in human life??

[@saum]

Per the shashtras - Kaam is "Kaamana" or desire - this can be desire to get Six packs abs, or to be successful (business/corporate), or to have nice car or... a be with that woman/man (whichever side you bat). That Kaam - is desire - which can also be, desire to be good, desire to be more spiritual, desire to be meet God... ALL are under the word of Kaam. But then the same kaam, desire, will become a paash (chains) - if its only a particular (and over whelming) desire to be with as many women/men as you can - even though you are in a relationship - then that becomes paash (chain). Anything with incessant angle can become a chain, as you are bounded by it.

More than 99.99% hindus dont know about this and the rest 0.01% know they know it fully, u r one of them. It needs a lot of effort perticularly intense desire to know all of this and this is what they all r missing. Those who really understood the real nature of this transient world, they move forward to seek the reality. Lucky that Ishwars has started sowing this seed into me and the biggest proof is that I have coming across people like u. Thanks a lot

[@viveksingh6405]

My another questions is how Sadhguru of Isha Foundation have developed a new deity called Linga Bhairavi and yantra associated with it and how different forms of devta are developed or created in state like Himachal Pradesh which has no connection with vedas or ancient deities and how system of tantra and tantric deities were developed and created or perceived by masters of that particular lineage in Egypt and Japan, Europe and other part of globe in ancient world....
