Historians say that Tantra is pre-Aryan.

When the Aryans came to India, Tantra was in existence here.

And Shiva was their God...

When the Aryans came to India, they overran India, they defeated the people who were living here. Their religion was crushed, their scriptures destroyed, and by and by even their Gods were absorbed into the pantheon of the Aryans.

Shiva was their God.

It took very long for him to be absorbed. He was alien, but he had to be absorbed because he was very influential. And when all his followers were absorbed into the world of the Aryans, they brought their Gods also.

Tantra belongs to Shiva.

And the Baul is an offshoot of the same tree...

Tantra says:

'everything happens
in its own right time
you need not force it
your force will not help'

It will be a disturbance.

It may destroy, but it can never be creative.

One has to be very effortless. Spontaneous.

One has to be in a let go.
