Kayaka In Virashaivism - Life Involving Human Labor

Kayaka as a concept and practice is a part of Virashaivism and is a way of life involving human labor of the right kind. The Sanskrit word kaya means the body; with the addition of the suffix ka the world connotes labor in the Virasaiva philosophy. The body includes the mind as well, and both are treated as holy because they are the prasada or gifts of God to man.

Difference Between Kaula And Akaula In Tantric Worship

Kaulas are worshipers of Shakti who follow the non-normative vama-marga (ritualistic practices). The Kaulas are divided into Purva Kaulas and Uttara Kaulas.

If one is from a respectable family, studies Kula Tantra and teaches the same to the next generation, he is called Kaula. One who seldom involves himself in the process of study and teaching and adopts some other vocation for his livelihood is called an Akaula. Kularnava Tantra defines a person who finds the divine presence in all walks of life and sees all equally as a Kaula. A pebble, a stone, and a piece of gold are the same to a person who does
