Several Western esoteric schools were influenced by Eastern traditions of sacred eroticism, but they also developed their own distinctive paths. While MISA primary reference for Tantrism is Tamil Nadu’s Siddha Yoga, placing the Romanian movement within a larger tradition helps both studying its doctrines and practices and avoiding frequent misunderstandings. | ||
