The Hidden Science of Sex:
Spiritual Transmutation of Vital Force
by
Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya
The subtle forms of the vital energies, physically manifested in the two sexes (male and female), have been discussed in great detail in the ancient Indian spiritual literature under the names Pran and Rayi, Agni and Soma, Swaha and Swadha.
Material manifestation of life by the union of the physical forms of these complementary energies is a very small though well known illustration of the magnificent powers of their subtle counterparts. The wise, sane and self-controlled commingling of these subtle energies is instinct with sublime creativity, enthusiasm, exaltation and joy and leads to a state of unalloyed happiness.
Its fundamental role in the origin, expansion and movement of life in matter should be studied deeply to find out definite ways of saving men and women from suffering the deadly effects of uncontrolled indulgence in carnal desires, eroticism and related practices and at the same time enabling them to make creative use of their individual as well as ‘coupled’ bio-energies for soul upliftment along with multifaceted growth of human society as a whole.
