One can pray before..one can pray after..but no one prays during the activity!


Yes prayer itself is an activity ... a..religious activity...!

And eating itself is a sacred activity for some....

The Sacred Act of Eating: A Hindu Foodie’s Daily Ritual


In my great grandmother’s house in Thanjavur, a small town in Tamil Nadu, every meal represented an elaborate ritual. Each night, she washed a fresh set of clothes for the next morning (always a colorful nine yards sari and its blouse) and hung them atop the highest clothing line on the balcony, to prevent anyone from inadvertently dirtying them. The following morning, she rose at 4:00 AM, while the rest of the house still slumbered, and took a bath to cleanse before cooking. Prior to touching any ingredients, she prayed, sitting in the main hall beside a faded wall covered with frame after frame of Hindu iconography. Only then would she start to prepare the meal.

When we sat down to eat, in a cross-legged row on the floor across from the prayer wall, the meal itself was systematic. First, someone laid plantain leaves, used as (biodegradable!) plates in rural South India, on the cleaned floor. Then, the men recited Sanskrit prayers, pouring a little water into their right palms and circling their palm leaves with it to signify cleansing the mind and heart before approaching the food. Somebody took a little food and left it outside for the crows — a ritual called “kaka shadham”, or “crows’ rice”, in Tamil, to return part of the food to nature. Normally, I was designated as the crow feeder.

I can sense a loss of touch in some departments here!LOL

May be a refresher course could be a good idea!

May be such Refresher course require minimum quorum...

Wait for coterie members to join....LOL
 
I am not sure whether I am part of the "coterie". LOL. Rudhranbhai can clarify.

But on the subject I would say this:

There is a school of thought in Hindu religious system which sincerely believes that the orgasmic moment is the moment in a human being's life when it is closest to the sAyujyam state. Though it is momentary the sAyujyam does occur they believe. Forget about bhajan and bhojan when next time you are getting into the act. Just look for sAyujyam with universal consciousness and you will get it for sure. You can come back and claim here that you got the elusive experience in real life without going through the tortuous route of ashtamAsidhdhi and samAdhi et al. LOL.

Oh yeah. It appears I have started the refresher course. LOL.

Yes Sir you have started the 'Refresher Course'.

But the preamble may be my earlier post No.22 which is reproduced hereunder:

Doctor Mam,

I need to disagree with you here.

Are you talking about physical activity.....?

Mind cannot be controlled....

While the body was busily engaged there are chances of the mind praying the God sincerely....

I few years back I read an English fiction by author Dan brown (It should be Da Vinci Code) which I can't descrbe here.

One among the message in short was, if I am right, is that 'Orgasm is something like a prayer'.

This may be something called 'Religious sex'

Likewise, some may be interested in multi ....... activities as mind and body are different.

But don't jump into the conclusion that this is my opinion...LOL


This was what I stressed in my posting No.22.

The school of thoughts may differ, some may call it Sayutyam state and some may call it Kaivalyam and there may be few calling it as spirtual sex.

What all that matters is experiencing the God in the Act which is something beyond the pure physical act.

Thanks for your responding and for the thoughtful comments. :-)

P.S: And
the truth may be that Kamasutra talks less about sex and more about spirituality.
