A #documentary on George Gurdjieff with Armenian sub-titles. Contains original and rare footage of the Gurdjieff movements and music from the 1920's and covers the basis of his teaching in his own words.

George Gurdjieff was born in 1867 in Gyumri (formerly Alexandropol) in #Armenia. His father Ivan was Greek and his mother Yeva was Armenian.

The film was made by Jean-Claude Lubtchansky, a close associate of Madame de Salzmann, with the support of the Gurdjieff Institute in France and is best viewed in full screen on a television or laptop.

#Osho described Gurdjieff as one of the most significant #spiritual #masters of this era and indeed this is a #film well worth watching.

Gurdjieff's teaching is fully described in the book called "In Search of the Miraculous" which can be read at http://www.gurdjieff.am

Your comments are welcome. We live on a #wonderful and possibly unique #planet in the #universe and can only be #grateful for #every #second of life that is granted to us.

#TEMPLE OF THE #64 #YOGINIS / #DAKINIS & #TANTRA
#Kama translated from #Sanskrit broadly means #Desire. #Sutra means #aphorism.

"The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian text which, is considered the primary Sanskrit work on human sexuality. It was written by Mallanaga Vatsyayana in the 2nd century CE. The Kama Sutra is a part of a greater treatises on Dharma, Artha, & Kama (Virtue, Wealth & Desire respectively) as constituent elements of a path to achieve Moksha (liberation). It treats the subject of a Courtesean with some depth. The Kama Sutra is ahead of its time in the way it approaches, contextualizes, and describes how to best achieve ecstatic expression of life’s beauty. From CHAPTER II, OF THE WAYS OF EXCITING DESIRE, AND MISCELLANEOUS EXPERIMENTS, AND RECIPES of the Kama Sutra, translated by Richard Burton

‘Thus have I written in a few words the “Science of love”, after reading the texts of ancient authors, and following the ways of enjoyment mentioned in them.’

‘He who is acquainted with the true principles of this science pays regard to Dharma, Artha, Kama, and to his own experiences, as well as to the teachings of others, and does not act simply on the dictates of his own desire. As for the errors in the science of love which I have mentioned in this work, on my own authority as an author, I have, immediately after mentioning them, carefully censured and prohibited them.’

From my explorations (and I’m open to signs pointing otherwise), the Kama Sutra and Khajuraho are not obviously connected besides both subjects not excluding sexuality. However, I am intrigued by the connection between the temple of 64 Yoginis/Dakinis, Chapter III – On the study of the 64 arts in the Kama Sutra, and connections with the Temple Arts. Explorations to be continued in a future post."
