I welcomed my longtime friend and fellow tantric practitioner, Dharmaraj, to discuss his fascinating journey from being a dentist to becoming a tantra facilitator. Dharmaraj shared his transformation story, including his early studies in dentistry and human sexuality, and how his life changed after meeting Tantra master Sarita. We talked about the misconceptions surrounding tantra, especially how Western interpretations often misrepresent it by focusing solely on sexuality. Dharmaraj emphasized that tantra encompasses all aspects of human experience, stressing the significance of meditation and love, and the merging of masculine and feminine energies.

We explored the dynamics of masculinity, discussing societal expectations, the integration of vulnerability and strength, and the need for healing the father wound. Personal stories about forgiving our fathers and rejecting limiting societal narratives were shared. We also covered tantric practices for sexual mastery, like emotional expression and semen retention, and recommended daily routines, including breathing exercises and self-love techniques, to help men start their tantric journey. Towards the end, we expressed concerns about the disconnection caused by technological advances like VR and AI, highlighting the importance of staying connected to nature and real-life interactions. Finally, we promoted our upcoming men's initiation retreat in Bali, underscoring its potential to transform lives through tantric principles and deep connections.
