Kamala Devi’s Tantra Sutras Fall Equinox 2012:

$
0
0

 Profound, sexy, sarcastic and sometimes silly thoughts tend to come through conversation (and orgasm) with my lovers. I don’t feel like an author as much as a scribe who takes dictation from an unseen source. I don’t have to understand the mysterious process through which ideas are transmitted and received, in order to capture and post them for you to read and comment. I hope m Tantra Sutras touch you as much as they have touched me…and that’s a lot!

ON LOVE

  • I heart humans.
  • Feeling warm wet gratitude for our mutual infatuation. 
  • When a stranger asks me what I do, I say love. because infact, that’s what I do. 
  • Love goes beyond the ability to accept another as they are, to accepting the way they love. 
  • You’re fired! I say to the lawyer who runs around my mind collecting evidence of anything that is not love. 
  • One of the most beautiful gifts a friend or lover can ever give me is information on how to treat them better.
  • My heart is under renovation; the entrance was once an obstacle course, but now I’m building a landing strip.
  • Love is what happens whenever we come apart and we are more than who we were when we came together.
  • Love hurts. Love encompasses the full range of human condition. And suffering is a part of the human experience.
  • I used to withhold my sexuality, for fear that people would fall in love with me. But if my full expression inspires someone into a state of love, I no longer take it personally. 
  • Love is not proportionate to how long you have known someone, how old they are, or how many lovers one has. How much we love, however, can be correlated to how open we are to experiencing the absolute in relative form.

ON LIFE

  • I’m on one hell of a roller coaster ride, but so is everyone else who is alive. 
  • No matter how naked I strip, there still seems to be a veil between you and me.
  • I can not be bothered by lack, when I am far to focused on the mysterious way life has of filling it. 
  • If you don’t have the energy to deeply penetrate this moment, can you relax let it fully penetrate you?
  • If I remembered to practice gratitude on every breath since the day I was born, I’d still have more blessings than I could count.

ON SEX

  • At point of orgasm I am filled with a wordless whisper: Give it to God!
  • Yes, I have a stack of books by my bed, and only half of them are about sex.
  • I confess…I am guilty of vagina worship, and how do you plan to punish me?
  • Bananas are perfectly shaped, but too soft for women with strong kagel muscles.
  • I LOVE the little show I get when you accidentally drop something and have to bend over to pick it up.
  • My husband woke me up with a huge reminder of who I am and why I’m here. Thank god for mooring wood.
  • Every time I stop to listen, there is a constant conversation going on in my body about how I can feel more connection.
  • We had a hot MFM threesome while fantasizing about having sex in a monastery, we are calling it the “two monk treatment.”

ON SPIRITUALITY

  • I wish I could program mind so that when I can’t think of anything nice, I don’t think anything at all.
  • I intend to root myself so deeply in the divine that no inner concern or outer circumstance can distract me. 
  • In prayer, the words we use hardly matter, but miracles are made by how fully we gather our faculties and align with our potential.
  • I’m not angry that the apes came in and pissed on the temple. They are after all, apes. I am only upset that, in the moment, I didn’t realize that even urine is divine.
  • Whenever I find my mind stuck in a self loathing loop, I stop and remember I am a unique emanation of the divine, that usually trumps all my human hallucinations.

ON SELF:

  • I am not who you think I am, hell, I’m not even who I think I am.
  • My desire for truth is finally bigger than my need to hear that you love me.
  • How big is the gap between who you are when you are alone vs. with others?
  • Yikes. The imposter complex is rearing it’s ugly head…and I thought I cleared that program years ago.
  • What good is the impulse to be understood, when I am not who I was yesterday, and who I’ll be tomorrow is unknowable?
  • When I touch myself, it’s not so much that I think of you, but that I think–I am you–touching me, all curious and eager about my femininity.
  • “Mastery is not a function of having perfected your craft, but of cultivating the necessary skills to swiftly recognize and work on your imperfections.”
  • ON ART
  • For the first half hour of the day, I write down whatever comes to mind.
  • To make sure my creativity never runs dry, I am constantly pumping the source.
  • I’ve met many muses in my life, rare and precious are the ones who keep a calendar and get shit done.
  • You know it’s going to be a good show, when you wake up after the dress rehearsal with a shame hang over!

ON REALITY TV

  • The best reality show starts only after you turn off your TV. 
  • My mother says she watches my show and doesn’t even look away during the sex scenes.
  • I stepped off the roller coaster and stumbled, guess I haven’t gotten my land legs back yet.
  • ‪Polyamory‬ is not usually a spectator’s sport unless you have Showtime, Thursday Nights at 11pm.
  • Can you feel me? Even when framed by Hollywood, and filtered through people’s projections, I am still here.
  • No matter how naked I strip, there still seems to be a veil between you and me. –Maybe it’s the television. 
  • Some fans don’t want to follow me online because they don’t want to get spoilers for the show…as if I would dare! 
  • While the show is airing, I keep my remote control on my altar, as do millions of viewers who’s only altar is their TV.
  • I don’t want all the adulation to go to my head, so I built up a barrier, and now, I’m afraid, I haven’t been able to take it to heart, either. 
  • Sex is the great button pusher, only superseded by group sex. Having group sex onscreen is like walking into an elevator full of people, pushing all the buttons and then walking out.
  • At times it feels like I am consciously choosing the drama of my life, and other times it feels like the remote control is in someone else’s hand, but either way, I am always the observer.

ON MOTHERHOOD:

  • “Mom, you really know how to stop the boringness.” Devin, age 5.
  • Off to another doctor appointment for Devin. He is teaching me how to be brave!
  • My son is the great guru who initiated me into the advanced practice of mother yoga. 
  • In response to my self criticism this morning, Michael says, I wish you would treat yourself as sweetly as you do Devin.
  • I’m glad that humans invented cars, because if they didn’t we would have to walk everywhere and that would be exhausting. –Devin, age 5
  • While being groomed for his first day of school, Devin tells the hairdresser: “It’s a good thing I don’t have eyes in the back of my head, or I wouldn’t be able to see through all that hair.”
  • You know what we have inside? Blood. I remember when dad stepped on a piece of glass and it squirted out his ankle. But if we have blood inside, how come it doesn’t come out when we pee and poop?
  • They say it’s better to have two kids than one: they learn to share better, take care of each other, they don’t get spoiled and the love is exponential. Why doesn’t this household wisdom apply to lovers as well?

Devin: If you were me you would know how good it feels to hug you right now.
Me: And what if you were me?
Devin: Then I would be hugging myself, and that feels pretty good too.

Devin is spinning in the living room and says: When I spin, the earth spins with me. When I stop spinning the earth still spins.
Mom: Did you get dizzy, Honey?
Devin: Yeah, but even when I’m not dizzy, the earth is always spinning.

Want a second season of Showtime’s Polyamory?…Or to be IN it?

Can you see yourself in this 30 second show reel for next season? 

     We are seeking friends and lovers to join us in the next chapter of this adventure! Though, Showtime has not made any decisions yet, we are hoping they order an hour long show so we can feature more families, the more faces, the better it is for people to see that poly comes in many shapes and sizes. 
 
     Big Thanks to my friends and fans who took the time to write Showtime (at Sho.com) to let them know that you want to see us again for more episodes next season.
 
      Below is a letter by my Director Natalia who is looking for poly families who’d like to be interviewed to appear in a possible second season. If you and your lovers feel you could convey a positive message about our lifestyle, I highly recommend you take the leap and contact me or my Director, Natalia!
 

Hello community,

This is Natalia, creator/director of Showtime’sPolyamory: Married & Dating. Thank you all for your amazing support with the show, it means the world to me.

I’m reaching out in hopes of speaking with poly families interested in possibly sharing their story with me. I’m looking for polyamorous families that are charismatic, healthy, active; can be unmarried but practicing poly (don’t all have to live together); bisexuality is welcome in both male and female partners; and are open to sharing all aspects of their love lives. Families in Canada are welcome as well.

As I think you have seen, I am a person of integrity and my intent is to portray polyamorists as loving, mature adults who are capable of carrying on multiple loving relationships in a world that has programmed us for monogamy. I’ve had so many people reach out to me, mono people struggling in their relationships telling me the show changed their lives for the better. Despite what Dr. Drew said, I believe 100% that Polyamory is a sustainable way of living — and I would like to continue the pro-Polyamory conversation in the mainstream.

If you are interested in speaking with me, I would love to hear from you. Please email me at natstertv@yahoo.com. Thanks again, much love to everyone, I look forward to speaking with some of you!

Kamala Devi has been hosting events in San Diego for like-minded conscious community for over 10 years.  This collection of photos show a range of different types of sessions. Most people at sacred sexual gatherings tend to be camera shy because of the controversial nature of this work, but thank you for all the sex-positive people who were willing to be photographed.  We are revolutionaries for sexual liberation! Special gratitude to our pod photographer: Julie Kondor. Please comment if you see yourself in a picture and tell us what you remember about the event!

12 Reasons Why this Tantra Palooza is the Best Modern Tantra Event in History!

12) This year Charles Muir is The Keynote speaker and will offer a deep secret teaching about sex magic. Listen to Charles Muir on this powerful pre-palooza audio recording with a streaming slideshow of Last year: 

11) Yummy healthy Vegetarian food will be fully catered. In the past we have cooked,cleaned and worked together in the kitchen, which is wonderful forbuilding community but this year we feel you earned a a luxury dining experience. “The Wave” restaurant and bar will be catering an in-house vegetarian buffet with a variety of healthy meals that can be eaten in the lounge or by the pool. There are also Vegan and Gluten free diet options!

http://tantrapalooza12-12-12.eventbrite.com/

10) We are excited to be doing a Total Resort take over so that we can make the mineral spring water pools clothing optional! The luxury resort also has great creature comforts like private rooms (In the past we have had camping in and around the communal living space.) Now, there are no more than 4 to a room and private upgrades are available with wireless Internet for the modern tantrika!

9) Goddess @keli Lalita will be hosting a special spa suite dedicated to tantric lovemaking, in fact we will be offering 2 community playrooms, “The Red Room of Pleasure” and the “White Temple of Tantra”Where community will be welcome 24 hours.

8) Adam Paulman will be our new event coordinator. As one of the original leaders of the San Diego Tantra Community, Adam has brings a tremendous wisdom and sensitivity to the needs of this group. In addition to teaching this year, He will be leading community building exercises, and co-MCing with Michael! We also have a tremendous support staff of experienced friends and lovers that I call my pod, including Cathleen, Ran Baron, Viraja Ma, Jennifer Gold, Jesse, and Tony D’Aula.

7) Triambika the founder of the Ecstatic awareness institute and Baba Dez founder of ISTA will be leading a powerful a Red Tent/ White Tent experience that polarizes the Men and Women so that we can touch deeply into our shadow selves and non-dominant god and goddess.

6) Francoise will be leading an sensual puja in a warm Pool with Natural Hot Mineral Water. Mmmm. Need I say more?

5) I’m excited to introduce you to my love coach, Scott Catamas, heis an EMMY Award winning writer/producer of Educational Television andco-founder of the Love Coach Academy. He will be creating the field of love for the weekend and available for anyone who needs extra support and empathy between sessions.

4) Do your remember our sexy naked yoga instructor, Roxanne? Thank Goddess, she’s back! And she’s bringing her Beloved DanielSchmachtenberger who will be teaching again…but this time it’s Official. Last year Daniel offered a number of popular spontaneous teachings because wherever Daniel goes, people are always begging him to synthesize his vast knowledge from a diverse range of fields to answer the difficult questions to get a scientist’s perspective on sex and spirituality.

3) Cheri will be hosting a beautiful healing sanctuary in the wellness room where people can offer massage and body work trades! Tziporah brought enough Raw Sensual Cacoa edible body butter and will be welcoming you with a a Raw Cacoa Love Cup!

2) This is the culminating year which recognizes that human beings are undergoing a massive evolutionary transition into realizing their spiritual potential. As a like-minded community who is coming together with the shared intention of creating ‘heaven on earth’ we will be healing the collective shame around sex and spirituality and magnetizing more permission for our sacred sexual liberation.

1) Tantra Palooza 12-12-12 will initiate you into a powerful a daily practice that will keep you in direct connection to the source of all that you seek.

Let’s Talk about…. Money!

Kamala Devi is Sending you th most Abundant Holiday Wishes!

While planning for Tantra-Palooza, (a 4-day all inclusive luxury retreat) I had many conversations with people about their finances. During the holidays, it’s common for people to justify being busy or being broke… but there is a deeper conversation about prosperity that needs to happen. Our spiritual community has a collective shadow around finances. Through the years we’ve made wonderful progress towards sexual liberation, healing guilt fear and shame around sex, now it is clear that there is also deep wounding is around money!  As a tantrika, I am committed to truth, I see everything as sacred, and I intend to embody the richness of the physical world, in the highest good of all.  One of my greatest intentions for 2013 is to heal the disempowering split between materialism and spirituality.

Congrats to the 108 people who are investing in themselves and will be joining me at this luxurious tantra journey on 12-12-12!   We will be doing some powerful money healing, sex magic and intention setting to manifest the most abundant 2013!

This audacious experiment was birthed after an insanely focused 7day rehearsal process that actually involved a co-ed sleep-over with a 4am “wake up call” so the performers could perform while still dreaming.

Here are some rave reviews from the audience:

Dear Kamala Devi, I was curious about it… and This is my first time in a Tantra theater and i did not know what to expect when I arrived, I sat in the second row and a very nice man introduce himself and then a woman and when I realize every one in the theather were full of friendship love … Every one on my way were smiling back at me…The performance of the actors were originally great!I laugh with the dog and shit scene, I cried with the dying mom ….and the lonely people walking with broken hearts that Shawn Roop beautifully Performed remind me how there is so many lonely souls with broken hearts walking surviving instead of living , the women mermaid scene was liberating how she describe her belly and breast imperfection that gave life to 4 children and 7 grand children and the rest of the scenes were very sexy, scary the nasty fantasies … I appreciate a lot the originality way of saying everyday life topics that some way are taboo in a comic and healing way… the improvisations were surprisingly originals an comic I loved the group meditation as well … was awesome…! I just want to say thank you for your direction of this beautiful actor souls helping me to see life less serious and less personal and entertain me in a very funny an original way… I am so grateful for the experience thank you.–Karina Ramirez 

rick surreal full house

“Tantra Theater was magnificent tonight! Thank you Kamala Devi for your vision!  In your deepest vulnerability, your delicious humor, your willingness to put YOU on the stage we all get the chance put ourselves on the line and take the journey with you. I left with even more questions and a new path/opening for healing where I have been stuck, and I love watching that opening/light come on in people’s eye’s after a RAW Tantra theater show. I love you, each and every one, am proud to know you, am grateful for each opportunity to peak behind YOUR curtain….. and thus the collective’s curtain as well.

–Monique 

PS If anyone is thinking of going to a performance, don’t hesitate, it something you will remember and be shifting from for the rest of your life. ♥ ♥ ♥

I was blown away! Anxiously awaiting the next one.–N.T.

Tantra Theater weaves entertainment and enlightenment together effortlessly with its focus on vulnerable personal narratives and hilarious improv that attack nearly every taboo in the book. The Surreal Show in particular, revealed Kamala Devi’s masterful directing skill. She delivered a lyrical continuity to a show that somehow made sense of surreal fantasies and sexual obsessions. She also pulled together a top notch cast whose acting and improv skills rival the best. It’s a rare event to see this much creativity and passion on stage! Even more of a treat, is that Kamala Devi stepped into the roles of writer and performer. This show featured one of her scripts “Liberation through Bondage” and some pitch perfect improv play. –Keli Lalita All the performance pieces were great! Not to slight any other pieces, but Heidi’s mermaid piece was the standout for deep, raw and personal. This was probably the best Q&A afterwards of any Tantra Theater evening I’ve attended, to illuminate some more behind some of the pieces, Shawn’s piece in particular. Thanks for your time and brilliant work to drive this production to stage, Kamala Devi. –Neal White 

It was supposed to be plays about “human sub-consciousness” in which the players come up with their own idea and play out, like well orchestrated psychological therapy session. The director’s intention was for viewers to feel comfortable with one’s own skin. Some of them where uncomfortable to watch. But at the same time it was interesting to “see” what people are thinking about. To be fair their act was tastefully done with humor.—Hiroku

And once again, Kamala and the Tantra Theater crew created a magical show that was entertaining, hilarious, touching and healing on so many levels. Each piece touched me deeply; however, the two acts that stood out for me were “All the Lonely People” & the piece where Jen slowly ripped Shaun’s heart out…Absolutely profound and brilliant! –Tracy Jordan Wells

“The Surreal Show was brave, earthy, witty, and very entertaining. Another excellent experience from Tantra Theater.  Special Kudos to Heidi for how deep she went in her revelation. Kamala Devi, what you and your cast achieved in 7 days was amazing.”–Anya Shekina

Kamala Devi’s Amrita Initiation with Charles Muir

$

     In Sanskrit, Amrita translates to the nectar of the gods which is believed to bring about healing and immortality. Amrita is also a favored term for female ejaculate or “squirting” in the tantra community.
     In tantric lovemaking, the goal– if there is one– is to have no goals. The practice is to surrender into each wave of sexual energy without trying to force or hold back truth as it unfolds, in each breath.
     Initially, when men learn that orgasm and ejaculation are separate events, they often get so focused on non-ejaculation, they are taken out of the moment. 
     Conversely, tantric women often pressure themselves to experience multiple, whole body or copious orgasms. Admittedly, practicing presence while learning, stretching, and becoming, is a delicate edge. The following tale illustrates my personal dance between evolving my sexual potential and authentically accepting my current capacity. 
      In my 15 years of tantric exploration, I have loved many female ejaculators. I had the privileged of empowering and supporting women through their first squirts and have written, taught and even performed on the subject –yet never experienced it myself.  
     When I first learned about Amrita, I accepted that my orgasmic response had it’s own wisdom, in it’s own time. Then I watched as workshops, videos and sessions for women to learn to Amrita were becoming increasingly popular, as if it were some new craze or a tantric party trick. I struggled to remain patient with my body. And then the scale tipped and I could no longer ignore the impulse to experience more…

      Tantra theater is a collective of artists, healers and teachers who do performance art to transmute sexual guilt, shame and fear into healing and liberation. During our first show, I challenged the troupe to explore their orgasmic experiences onstage, then I watched as SEVEN of my closest sisters wrote intimate poetry about their initiation into their sacred waters. I was the only woman, out of the entire group who had never ejaculated.
    Thus began a phase of looking at my orgasmic response as if there was a problem. Perhaps I was too self conscious, too young, too eager, I thought. Perhaps I’m afraid of peeing on my partners, sleeping in the wet spot or just not built that way. After numerous sessions with experienced sexual healers, who showed me how my sacred spot would swell and tent with fluids, but instead of coming out, they were suspected to be reabsorbed into my bladder after sex. (This may also explain why I have the most delicious sensations while urinating immediately after sex.) To no avail. I decided to accept I was a “soaker” not a “squirter.”

     The next cosmic coincidence occurred when Tantra Master Charles Muir recently came to San Diego for his The Art of Conscious Loving weekend which features a profound initiation into sacred spot massage. (The workshop is titled after his his book co-authored by Carolyn Muir.) Charles is a legend in tantra history. He is lovingly known as the god father of western Tantra, and in effect, has been practicing Tantra Yoga for about as long as I’ve been alive. 
      I was excited to be hosting his weekend workshop, but I had never directly experienced his teachings.  Of course I was familiar with Charles’s work through his students who are my friends and mentors: Baba Dez, Francoise, TJ Bartell, Shawn Roop, Mare Simone to name a few. So, I decided to schedule a private session to test his medicine. I had NO idea what BIG medicine I was about to get. 
     We started our session outside by the pool on a sunny afternoon. Charles reminded me that as a leader who takes such good care of my son, my lovers and my clients, it is paramount that I let myself be taken care of.  He also offered to share teachings that would be just for me to practice, not to be given to my students (or written about in this blog.) 
      After laying his magic hands on my back and shoulders, he stroked my body, facilitated my stretching and tracked my energy patterns. His touch was adept and his movement confident as we practiced eye gazing, breathing and massage.  His expert diagnostic is that I am a “control freak.” This is not news to me, but it is certainly not something people usually say to my face.  He went on to say “You would experience more surrender if you learned to love the world from your root.” Which I understood to mean: I would be less controlling if I had more anal sex. 
      He then proceeded to relax, open and re-assemble my energetic body, from the inside out. Meanwhile, he asked me to surrender, breath, retain, sound, and scream, until I completely let go of control. My arms were tingling, my body was shaking, my heart was flooded with everything I was afraid to feel. ”I gotcha” He says, as he supported me into a standing position.  With my shaking body leaning on his sturdy shoulder, I felt totally safe. This is what trust feels like. And in that moment, like a flash, I realize I do not trust enough. 
      “I have been underestimating everyone around me,” I said. Charles assured me that I may have had my reasons for trying to control myself and others in the past, but it was time to upgrade my nervous system so that I can love people for who they are, now.

     As he called me into the present moment, and gave me permission to express everything I felt, a sudden and strange primal energy overtook my body.  Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of my own reflection in a mirror: I was squatting and growling like the fierce Deity Kali.  I felt like I did when I was giving birth. I felt free, fully alive and totally natural, like a wild animal. I felt half goddess, half animal and all woman.
     And then it happened…Like raindrops falling from a clear sky.
     I marveled and laughed while Charles anointed my heart and forehead with my sweet feminine nectar.
     Amrita is an act of grace, like a kundalini awakening, it cannot be expected or forced. But in Charles’ presence I witnessed over a dozen women have similar openings in the course of the week. I believe Charles has the capacity to transmitt, and initiate with a mystical power of shakti-pat. And in his absence, the experience has only continued to deepen within my body and in my community. 
     Perhaps the most profound transformation occurred among the men who Charles initated into the sacred spot, yoni massage ritual. While Leah Alchin masterfully lead a sacred circle amongst all the sisters, Charles took the men aside and managed to turn a room full of eager strangers into loving healers who wanted to make up for all the wrongs that had ever been committed against women.
     Such sexual awakenings offer multi-dimensional benefits. Beyond the pleasure, freedom and confidence that comes from ejaculating, I have been experiencing new levels of creative energy. My juices have been channeled into poetry, dance, and performance art.  Friends and lovers who received similar transmissions are reporting increased inspiration towards their love life, work, and even math!?   My prayer for the tantra community is that we support each other in raising our collective sexual vibration and direct it towards the service and healing of the planet.

Kamala Devi with Microphone at Tatnra PaloozaNever Satisfied.

Your hand sweeps my forehead
half showing your affection,
half testing for fever.

I may not be measurably sick,
but it’s no secret,
that I am burning inside.

My heart is always stretching,
my hands always grasping,
and my head is always, always, always
making meaning where there is none.

No, it’s no secret,
that I am not satisfied.
No matter how delicious,

this meal is not my last,
this moment is not the only,
And I know, without apology…

This love is not enough
indeed, enough is not enough.

You gaze into my eyes
with a question on your lips
which no amount of kissing
could ever satiate.

This mystery wakes me up
and tucks me in at night
where the riddles of my dreams
make me wonder ever more.

Tell me how our bodies
manage to separate, when
…merging into one…
seems our natural state.

Tell me how come love,
both given and received,
disappears like music
that is never seen.

And if the energy between 

us can’t decide between

waves and particles

why should I ever

settle for

anything.

No, it’s no secret
that I am not satisfied.
No matter how delicious,
this meal is not my last,
this moment is not the only,

And I know, without apology…

Love is never satisfied.

Devi is not my last name…

$

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. — Shakespear

Kamala Devi RosesThe Hindu name Kamala Devi translates to Lady of the Lotus, and was given to me when I was living in an ashram and studying yoga at the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta. It is said to have been chosen because of the numerology of my birth name and my vedic astrology.

After a day of fasting and a ritualized initiation, the orange clad swami who named me, cautioned that it was a powerful “tantric” name– and since they were not a tantric school, I should be careful how I use it. When I asked what she meant, she said:

“In tantra, Kamala Devi is she who worships the divine with her body.”

Intrigued, but intimidated, I kept my new moniker to myself, using it only in meditation with the accompanying mantra. After several years studying, traveling and teaching yoga, I began using it in spiritual circles and eventually got the inner clarity to make an official name change.

I remember coming home for a family reunion and over a holiday dinner, I nervously announced that I was changing my name.

Without missing a beat, my father said: ‘Well, it’s about time!’

I asked him what he meant and he said, you seem to have outgrown your birth name, Monica, years ago. You are not even the same person. My 94 year old grandmother agreed (she loves me even though she thinks I’m a cult leader) and declared that from that point forward I was to be known as Kamala Devi.

So with my father’s permission, I let go of my paternal (patriarchal) last name. Years later, I took on my husbands last name, McClure but never used it, (because I didn’t want to be anyone’s property.) When my son started school, it felt so strange to hear little kids, like tele-marketers, calling me Mrs. McClure. Fortunately Name changes are easy in the state of California, you can simply write a declaration of your new name and if enough people call you it, for long enough, it becomes official.

My name is even more complicated when I travel. In India where tantra is pronounced, “Tuntrah” with a hindu accent, I was often called “Kumlah Davi.” While all my Mexican relatives (and I have a LOT of them) naturally pronounce it “Camilla.” For over fifteen years, I’ve heard many different nick names, from many different lovers, like Goddess Kamala, KD or Mistress Devi.

There are lots of examples in Hollywood of double first names: Sarah Jessica Parker, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jennifer Jason Leigh. Yet, Devi is used more like a title instead of a last name, like Lady Gaga or Amma Chi.   In reality, most of my fans call me Kamala, because the focus of Showtime’s recent docu-series was not on tantra or spirituality, so I have developed a strong desire to hear my friends call me by my goddess title: Kamala Devi is a sweet reminder to practice seeing the divine in everything.

My girlfriend Roxanne admits it is a mouthful to say at the moment of orgasm. While my husband Michael teases that I am “no ordinary Kamala”, and that the full Kamala Devi is perfect because it’s “poly-syllabic.” Indeed it is hard enough in polyamory to keep all your lovers names straight, let alone remember a name change! Joking aside, I appreciate the effort everyone has put into using my full nam, and I respect those who simply refuse to call me anything but Kamala.   

At the end of the day, you can call me whatever you want, and it doesn’t change who I am, (or how I smell) but at least now you know, my preference is Kamala Devi.

FYI: for those of you who keep asking me the meaning of Devi:

 देवी Devī is the Sanskrit root-word for Goddess which has multiple uses and meanings:

1. Devi is used in India as a title following the personal name of a married woman. It is a mother goddess having various manifestations and roles.

2. She is wife or consort to Shiva. She represents energy and form while he represents consciousness. Devi is the female counterpart to the male aspect of the divine, (without whom, he remains impotent and void.)

3. Devis are female deities who guard and pray over every living thing — person, animal, or plant. Some believe each deva or devi acts like guardian angel inspiring and motivating whatever it is assigned to.

4. In Buddhism a devi is a type of non-human beings who is thought to be more powerful, longer-living, and, more realized than the average human being.

Our monthly Tantra Talks explore a wide range of topics, but last night may have been one of the most controversial: Sex and Power Games with Kamala Devi and Guest Speaker, Ran Baron.  

Tantra Talk with Ran Baron and Kamala Devi

This event was like an intimate dialogue with two experienced Tantra and BDSM (Bondage Discipline, Dominance Submission, Sadism and Masochism) players.  Together we explored the power dynamics and the hidden sexual inuendo found within esoteric teachings and sexo-spiritual practices, from Aliester Crowley and other sex cults to the crazy wisdom of benign spiritual organizations. Ran Baron asserts that Sex, the most powerful energy of all and can be the doorway to the Divine or the gateway to Hell. During the provocative Q & A, the best questions was:

What does BDSM, Kink and Power exchange have to do with Sacred Sex?

Of the many overlapping aspects, here are some of the highlights:

  • Both Tantra and BDSM are taboo and misunderstood in mainstream and spiritual societies.
  • Both Tantra and BDSM practices put us in the moment and are used to deepen ones state of presence.
  • Both Tantra and BDSM can put us into erotic trance and altered states of consciousness.
  • Both Tantra and BDSM can include role play such as: God/Goddess, Guru/Disciple, Master/servant…
  • Breathwork is so important in both Tantra and BDSM.
  • Both Tantra and BDSM include high levels of communication, boundaries, and trust.
  • Both teach us about ultimate expression of surrender. 
  • “In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice.” ― Marquis de Sade.

Indeed this is a vast topic, and this list is intended to wet your apetite. Here is another fun teaser. In this streaming video, Kamala Devi uses performance art to tell the story of how she first discovered she was Kinky.
