What is the difference between Tantra and Tantric Se! and Kamasutra
It is c%nfusin,. Bet me clarif$ this f%r $%u. There are t#% ancient c%nce*ts C t%,ether the$ are &elie'ed t% make u* the essence %f life. These c%nce*ts are Tantra and Sutra. Kama in Sanskrit Dust means 'sex'. Tantric sex c%uld theref%re &e called Kama Tantra, &ut *e%*le d%n't usuall$ call it that. (Earnin,: d%n't ,% 'isit the #e&site &$ that name unless $%u #ant t% see l%ts %f ads f%r sex$ thin,s n%t=tantra &ut definitel$ kama #ith%ut the sutraF) Tantra refers t% the 'l%%m' and the *rinci*le %f '#ea'in,' #hereas Sutra' refers t% the *rinci*le %f 'thread', 'scri*ture', %r 'teachin,'. In ancient eastern reli,i%ns such as ;uddhism %r Hinduism different reli,i%ns fa'%red %ne side %r the %ther and this caused a l%t %f c%nfusi%n thr%u,h%ut hist%r$. G%,a, f%r exam*le, as it is *racticed t%da$ is a Sutra. G%u ha'e %ne teacher in the fr%nt %f a r%%m sh%utin, %ut *%stures al%ud and a ,r%u* %f *e%*le m%'in, int% th%se *%stures. )s he %r she calls %ut the name %f the *%sture the students m%'e int% the *%sture. )s she is d%in, this the teacher is sh%#in, *e%*le #hat that *%sture is.

This is #h$ %ne %f m$ teachers sh%#ed me this difference $ears and t%ld me that I kne# n%thin, %f Tantra and that #hat I #as teachin, #as n%thin, m%re than m$ %#n &rand %f 'Kama Sutra'.

The skill d%es n%t make $%u a &asket #ea'er %r a *ractiti%ner C $%u ha'e t% ex*erience it C $%u must #ea'e &askets. I had t% make a ch%ice.

Ee #%uld ha'e sex %nl$ #hen she c%uld feel that m$ m%'ements #ere summ%ned fr%m #ithin a *lace that #as n%t in m$ mind %r c%min, fr%m desire.

Ehich led me t% stud$ and learn #hat reall$ IS Tantra. It is fr%m these and %ther ex*eriences that f%ll%#ed that caused me t% #rite this >=&%%k. The *ur*%se %f this >=&%%k is t% ,i'e $%u e'er$thin, $%u need t% kn%# intellectuall$, s*irituall$ and re*lace the inc%rrect educati%n that is #idel$ &ein, *%*ulariOed a&%ut Tantra t% all%# $%u t% trul$ ex*erience thr%u,h $%ur *ractice #hat it is like t% ex*erience Tantric sex.

The difference &et#een Tantric Sex and Tantra is that Tantra refers t% the ener,$ &ehind the #ea'in, %f the essence %f life. Tantric Sex theref%re refers t% usin, Tantra t% enhance s%methin, #e all kn%# h%# t% d% C ha'e sex C and in d%in, s% C #e ,et &etter at sex and #e als% ,et &etter at Tantra in %ther areas %f %ur li'es C #ea'in, creati'e *r%Dects f%r exam*le, #ea'in, ,r%u*s %f *e%*le in #%rksh%*s, #ea'in, dances, #ritin,, *aintin,, c%m*uter *r%,rammin,, and e'en fitness and s*%rts. )ll these acti'ities are enhanced &$ Tantric sex &ecause thr%u,h Tantric sex $%u &ec%me a m%re *%#erful human &ein, and that affects the rest %f $%ur life. ;ut #hen #e refer t% Kama Sutra is n%t Dust %ne text &$ %ne *ers%n and the exercises %f that *articular Indian text.

What is the distinction between Tantric Se! and Kama Sutra you may ask
It is a matter %f a**r%ach an intenti%n. In the numer%us texts %n Tantric sex I ha'e read I see %ne c%mm%n den%minat%r 'ersus Kama Sutra.
