1. What does it mean to be a "Spiritual Warrior" ?
A spiritual warrior is a person that has found their inner spirit or truth and understood that in order to be a human being one has to be attuned to it at all times. This means to struggle and fight against all kinds of inner and outer obstacles. Hence spiritual peace or bliss is a result of fight, personal vigor and application of will-power.
Struggling and fighting against personal and collective hindrances with utmost intention and discipline is the "innersport" of a spiritual warrior. This attempt to liberate oneself from crudeness is also termed Tantra (Tan=crudeness, Tra=liberation). Tantra is a universal concept practiced in all ages and has also been termed Daota or simply Dao. Some of its timeless principles and ideas are used in this program to help us expand our limited beliefs and sentiments.
" The main characteristic of Tantra is that it represents human vigor. it represents a pactless fight... It is an impossibility to conquer a crude idea and to replace it by a subtle idea without a fight... Jump into your environment without the least hesitation. Don't be afraid. Fear will leave you step by step... "
P.R. Sarkar
