We are a dynamic process of atoms and energies. This is very simple statement. Tissues, organs, and systems in our inside the skin barrier constantly react with external substances and energies. Our body continuously takes in energies and substances from outside world, and keeps on evacuating some substances and energies into external environment beyond skin.

​

Many cultures use substances from their environment for the well being of their people. For example, using turmeric on face and feet, sandalwood paste on face etc are the examples. Substances affect cellular, emotional, psychological, and spiritual systems of our personality. Emotional episodes affect cellular, psychological, and spiritual systems of our personality. So, every culture uses, collectives perceived good or bad to motivate or demotivate people in its fold.

​

Cultures use substances, energies, seasons, events and occasions as tools for healing. Alcohol, tobacco, and drugs are substances and everybody knows their damaging effects on human being. But the pity is ignorance about substances. There are thousands of substances that really help for our well being. Recently Agricultural scientists discovered traces of gold in Gir cows of Gujarat. As this gold is in the form of ions, it really works on cellular level. Similar traces might be there in the cows of Kolar and Bangarpet region of Karnataka. This region is not only home for Kolar gold fields, which has given gold for may years, but also has mention in Valmiki Ramayana. Legend had that where ever Sita had walked that path became gold. Historical mentions and presence of KGF are proof that the area has gold traces and naturally it goes into fodder of cows.

That is why KOMUL ghee is praised for its special health benefits. Tirupati Laddu and some restaurants in Singapore use KOMUL ghee. In the region of Bhadravati in Karnataka, Tunga and Bhadra rivers are praised for their water's health benefits. Ganga snanam and Tunga panam are suggested for good health in our ancient scriptures. People in that area have better hemoglobin levels compared to other population because of dissolved traces of iron and other elements in their waters. The food we eat is substance, water we drink is substance, and the air we breathe is substance. Look at the people of Delhi. They are breathing in highly polluted air. Some automaker criticised about pollution of Delhi by stating the emissions from our vehicles contain less toxins that the air people breathe in Delhi.

Every medicine doctor uses to restore our condition is a substance. Though every person need not have knowledge of many substances like a doctor, proper knowledge and understanding of substances that go into our system every day is the first step towards healing. Tantra is not for beggars. Tantra is not for the hypocrites. Tantra is not for the abstainers. First condition to practice tantra is to satisfy your hunger, satisfy your senses, and then go beyond.
