Talk:Panchamakara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This talk page is for the discussion of the 5 Ms. I have noted that P.R. Sarkar in his spiritual alter ego mentioned that the 5 Ms have dual meaning. I believe this is significant in the interpretation of tantra as not just a physical practice, but rather as a spiritual practice being misunderstood throughout the ages. I haven't found any other interpretations of the 5Ms than Ananadamurti's own, so I welcome furter comments. cJ --Cracker jack 14:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parched grain

Linkified parched grain. Hope the article speaks of the same ingredient.--Connection 20:17, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Why it is important in the Indian culture?

I don't know myself, but one page suggested it wasn't the same ingredient, but if we are to take the five Ms as taboo-breaking, it could very well be ergot, a hallucinogenic fungus growing on grains.

[edit] Expansion needed

This article needs expansion, I'll try to update it from what I know from Rawson (mostly his book "The Art of Tantra"). --Snowgrouse 06:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
