  • Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā was a form of Hindu tantric Vaishnavism focused on Radha Krishna worship that developed in the region of Greater Bengal (Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, Assam). This tradition flourished from the 16th to the 19th century. The Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition produced many great poets who wrote in the Bengali language, the most famous of these poets all wrote under the pen name Chandidas (a name used by various authors). Their religious literature was mainly written in Bengali vernacular. Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā used the romance between Krishna and Radha as a metaphor for union with the innate or primordial condition (the Sahaja) present in everyone. They sought to experience that union through its physical reenactment in tantric ritual. To this end, Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā often made use of sexual intercourse in their tantric sadhanas. Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyās understood Krishna as being the inner cosmic form (svarupa) of every man and likewise Radha was seen as the inner form of women. The Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition was deeply influenced by Bengali Vaishnava bhakti and its poets (such as Jayadeva). They were also deeply infuenced by the Bengali Buddhist tantric tradition which was also known as "Sahaja" and made use of tantric sexuality (karmamudra). From the Bengali Vaishnavas, Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā adopted the devotion to Radha Krishna and its understanding of bhava (feeling) and rasa (flavor). From the Buddhists, they adopted the theory of emptiness (shunyata) and tantric deity yoga and sexuality. The Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition also influenced the Baul tradition of Bengal. The Vaiṣṇava Sahajiyā tradition does not survive as a living lineage today with an unbroken connection to the medieval gurus. However, its influences can be found in some modern Bengal Hindu tantrikas who claim to be Sahajiyās. (en)
  • Con l'espressione Viṣṇuismo sahajiyā (dall'aggettivo sanscrito sahaja: "originale", "innato") si indica quella corrente tantrica, considerata eterodossa, sorta, intorno al XVII secolo, nell'ambito del viṣṇuismo bengalese, la quale, erede della letteratura mistico-erotica di autori come Caṇḍīdās, Jayadeva e Vidyāpati e della predicazione del mistico Caitanya (XV secolo), intese imitare, per mezzo di unioni sessuali ritualizzate, il rapporto della coppia divina di Kṛṣṇa e di Rādhā. Essendo la suprema divinità di Kṛṣṇa e di Rādhā unica, ed essendo gli uomini e le donne aspetti di questa, l'unione mistica e fisica occorreva a riportare all'unità "originaria" (sahaja). Essendo queste pratiche sessuali rituali avversate dalle correnti "ortodosse" del viṣṇuismo gauḍīya i sahajiyā le resero esoteriche, segrete. La loro stessa letteratura, che pure si è conservata fino a noi, utilizza in tal senso un linguaggio allusivo e ambiguo. Anche se si ritiene che il loro lignaggio (guruparamparā) si sia estinto, la loro eredità non ha mancato di ricevere le condanne contemporanee da parte dell'"ortodossia" gauḍīya: (it)
