“Recently, the understanding of our liberation and perfection has come forth as a theme in popular media. Although wisdom is often delivered into society through story telling, until quite recently such stories had neither voice nor audience. Best sellers, such as The Red Tent, The Da Vinci Code and wonderful films from New Zealand like Whale Rider and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy probe a critical dilemma: how the nurturing feminine has been lost in the social equation.

So this is ancient yoga in contemporary film and fiction-inspiring modern stories, even practical examples we can follow to help continue to restore the feminine in each person individually and for the greater good of society. Each of these works exemplifies a surrendering of the orthodox male mind to the obvious nurturing force of life. In ancient tantric societies, when real yoga first flourished, the supreme relevance of male-female polarity and equality permeated society to great effect. This is the way it has been, and will be again. We are just finally getting around to again confronting the dominant male doctrine.”
