Traditions-- A brief
Introduction
Vasan Sri
Naked or not?
Shakti Worship
Again some nath traditions included
worship/meditation of Shakti in burial grounds
to imbibe the spirit of destruction as part of
life cycle or existence on earth and to
reinforce the thoughts of impermanence in this
world and to foster renunciation. They may use
and play with or dance with human skull and
bones.
While these forms of worship and rituals did
exist in India, they have largely disappeared
and are practiced only in a limited way in Nepal
and Tibet and some parts of Bihar [a state in
India.]
For the most part, nath traditions focus on
singing the hymns of Shakti in benign form.
