"Ta**ra is the science of transforming ordinary lovers into soul mates. And that is the grandeur of Ta**ra. It can transform the whole earth; it can transform each couple into soul mates."
-Rajneesh
Yab-Yum "Father-Mother"
Talon Abraxas
Yab-yum represents the ideals of ta***ic sexual practice as a posture for making love. It weaves the transcendent and the immanent together by combining verticality with a deep sense of closeness.
Yab-Yum: Symbol of Divine Union
Yab-Yum is the symbol of divine union. It is the posture in which man and women are united between Heaven and Earth: a classic meditation posture. In many love-making postures one of the couple is underneath the other, but in Yab-Yum, both partners are equally upright.
“Yab-Yum” is a Tibetan term meaning “father-mother”.
In Tibetan Ta**ra it is about the union of Compassion and Truth/ Wisdom. In Indian Ta**ra it is about the masculine as a passive meditator with the feminine as a dancing shakti in his lap… pure awareness meeting pure energy. On a metaphysical level, Yab-Yum represents the union of dualistic forms in order to attain transcendence.
In other words, when we bring apparent opposites together in love we can enter a state beyond normal consciousness: a state of oneness or unity consciousness. A remembrance of who we are beyond name and form…
This is the ultimate goal of Ta**ra.
