Unlocking the Mysteries of Sex in Ancient Indian Wisdom:

In a world filled with varied perspectives on sex, ancient Indian texts paint a unique picture, from the epics like Ramayan and Mahabharat to the profound Vedas. Contrary to today's societal portrayal, sex is not treated as an obscene act but holds a significant place in our lives.

Three Dimensions of Sexual Expression:

1. Sex as a Sport: Delving into the pleasure pursuit, ancient Indian texts offer dedicated Kama Shastra, including the famed Kamasutra by Vatsyayana. A fun twist? The author was a Brahmachari, and the chapters are surprisingly matter-of-fact. This Shastra isn't for the perverts but for those who've mastered Dharma and Arth.

2. Path to Liberation: Sex takes an unconventional role in tantric practices, serving as a tool for salvation or Moksha. This secret path, not for everyone, transcends traditional methods like Karma yog or Bhakti yog. Pregnancy is not part of this process and is penalized with the ultimate price of life.

3. Sacred Parenthood: The final reason for sex lies in bringing new life into the world—a matter of responsibility. Pregnancy should not result from a mistake. Planning should be conscious, treating sex as sacred rather than a pleasurable sport. Ancient Shastra provides guidelines for favorable times and rituals.

Planning Parenthood: A Sacred Ritual:

• Observe brahmacharya for at least a month before the planned conceiving day.
• Both partners wear new clothes, avoiding dark colors.
• Female adorns herself with proper ornaments and gold jewelry.
• Use a new or clean, properly washed bedsheet.
• Bow down to the Sun, wishing for a child as bright as the Sun.
• A detailed puja process is available for those interested.

The Sacred Act - Described in Veda: The act of conceiving mirrors the performance of hawan in Vedic traditions, where man is the performer, semen is the Hawan Samagri, female body is the Hawan Kund, and femininity itself is the Goddess of Hawan. The new life is the outcome of this sacred hawan.

After the Act:

• Man takes a bath again while the female refrains.
• Man seats the female on his left lap, touching her heart with his right hand, wishing for the desired qualities in their child.
• Thoughts, feelings, emotions, prayers, and rituals together give rise to a child unparalleled to any other.

Overcoming Challenges: If a couple faces difficulties in conceiving, some Shastras suggest that the man should perform a vrat on Pushya nakshatra with a specific wish for a child.

Timing Tips for Planning:

• Avoid: Mool, Bharni, Ashwani, Revti Nakshatra; 6th, 14th, 8th, Amavas, Purnima Tithi; Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday; Shakranti, Bhadra, Sunrise, Sunset, Daytime, evening; Shrad of Mother and Father, Eclipse, first four days of periods.
• Favorable: All remaining tithi and days; Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Mrigashira, Hasta, Rohini, Anurada, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhishak Nakshatra.

For those finding the timings complex, seeking guidance from a knowledgeable pandit is recommended. Embark on this journey, where sex transforms from a mundane act to a sacred ritual, guided by the ancient wisdom of Indian Shastra.

Consult a pandit for personalized guidance on timings and rituals.

A lot has been written on sex, but ancient Indian texts like Ramayan, Mahabharat, Shimat Bhagwat Puran, and Vedas have given it a unique and sacred significance. Sex has never been treated as an obscene act in today’s society.

Sex has its place in our life and there is no denying the fact. Let's explore the three reasons for having sex.

1. Sex as a Sport

For bodily pleasure without the outcome of pregnancy, explore dedicated Kama Shastra. The most recognized is Kamasutra by Vatsyayana, with chapters written "matter of fact" without lewdness. The book advises reading only for those who have mastery in Dharma and Arth, not for perverts.

2. The Path to Liberation

Discover tantric practices where sex becomes a tool for achieving salvation or Moksha, a secret path reserved for select individuals. Pregnancy is not part of this process and is penalized with the ultimate price of life.

3. Sacred Parenthood

Pregnancy should not be a result of a "mistake." Carefully plan conscious, sacred sex to populate the family tree responsibly. Our Shastra defines good and bad times for conceiving. Observe brahmacharya, and plan between the 5th and 16th day of the female period.

Embark on this journey of love, pleasure, and responsibility, illuminated by the ancient wisdom of Indian Shastra, and create a sacred and fulfilling tapestry of life.
