Editor’s Epilogue: Vajroli Mudra

The term Vajroli Mudra comes from Sanskrit vajra, “thunderbolt, lightning, diamond, adamantine,” and mudra, “mystical seal.” In various Asian traditions, the term refers to practices in Hindu and Tibetan Yogas, albeit with an incredible amount of variation and even opposing uses. Some vajroli techniques (such as the one taught by Samael Aun Weor) are positive and valuable, but most of those known to the public are degenerated, ranging from useless to dangerous.

Readers may also be surprised to discover that the Vajroli Mudra technique taught by Samael Aun Weor does not correspond to the versions known by aficionados of Eastern mysticism. It is in the interest of the student to meditate on the disparity, and consider well how reliable and sincere a source of knowledge the general public (or even the so-called experts in Tantra) may be, especially those who make their living from their “expertise.” One such popular technique, taught widely in many different schools of Tantra, is briefly described by Samael Aun Weor:

“It causes us great horror to know that the tenebrous black magicians of the Drukpa clan (those who are dedicated to the fatal and horrible black tantra) ejaculate the seminal liquor during their practices of black magic. These black magicians have a fatal technique that enables them to reabsorb the spilled semen. Such a technique is known as black vajroli. This practice is completely negative; therefore we do not even want to explain the procedure. We know that there exist many people with very weak mentalities, who could easily be led into practicing such horrible black tantra. Karma would then fatally fall upon us. The spilled semen is mixed with feminine “verya” (feminine semen) and afterwards it is re-absorbed. Thus, it is horribly recharged with atoms of the secret enemy. These are satanic atoms that are collected from the atomic infernos of the human being. The inevitable result of this black tantra is the descent of the serpent towards the atomic abyss of Nature. This is how the human personality ends. It is definitely disconnected from its Divine Spirit. The human being is then transformed into a demon.

“The Arcanum A.Z.F. (Oordhvarata) was practiced within the ashrams of ancient India. At that time, yogis were prepared for sexual magic with the white vajroli. Unfortunately, the brothers and sisters of the temple committed scandalous acts, which discredited sexual magic. The Gurujis then pulled the curtains of esotericism shut, and the Arcanum A.Z.F. was forbidden.” - Samael Aun Weor, The Yellow Book

Obviously, the Vajroli Mudra technique taught in this book belongs to the Tantra of chastity and is directly opposed to the Vajrolis taught in the Tantric schools of fornication, whether in the East or the West, which are very popular and widespread in these dark times.

To learn more about sexual transmutation, we recommend the books The Perfect Matrimony and The Mystery of the Golden Blossom by Samael Aun Weor.
