Tantrik Christianity and The Bhairava Nature of Jesus Christ

In this lecture, we discuss “Tantrik Christianity”, that is, elements of Tantra like1. guruparamparā (lineage based transmission), 2. ritual worship (pūjā)3. emphasis on mantra repetition (japa)4. profileration of deities/icons5. emphasis on direct, personal experience of the Divine6. the Immanence of God etc. that are also present in Christianity to make the case that Tantra is a spiritual approach not exclusive to any one cultural but is founded upon universal spiritual principles that are equally present in every tradition! I also want to point out how Jesus Christ as an Incarntion is murti/vigraha, the Tantrik term for the embodied, immanent aspect of the Transcendent Divine which can be used as a doorway to the Absolute, who is in-and-of-itsef, that same Absolute manifest. Since December is a time when in our community we turn or fervor towards Shakti in the form of Christ and Mother Mary, I pray this lecture will delight you! Lectures happen live on zoom every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and Friday at 6pm PST.  There's Q&A right after the lectures. It is free and open to the public.
