What are the 5 Ms of Tantra ? How they brought defame for Tantra ?

Answer 1

5 Ms- panca-makara-sadhana (ritual activities of sex and consumption of flesh, fish, and wine)

Some elaboration below:

The tantra-sastra are of three kinds:
1. those in the mode of goodness,
2. those in passion, and
3. those in ignorance.

Among them, the pancaratras and other tantras in the mode of goodness expand the confidential portions of the Vedas' teachings. The word 'tantra' comes from the verbal root 'tan' (to expand). Therefore these tantras are also counted among the sources of true knowledge.

But after the time of Lord Buddha, who preached Nirvana against the teachings of the Vedas, the above tantras were polluted. After Buddha, His Holiness Sripada Shankaracaraya preached Monistic philosophy and henceforward many concocted forms of tantra came into existence.

In the Saiva philosophy material nature (prakrti) is especially honored, undiscriminating persons often mistakenly think the Saiva and Tantric philosophies are the same. Although in the Tantric philosophy the purusa (the Supreme Spirit) and prakrti (material nature) are often compared to the two halves of a chick-pea, in the end the Tantric thinkers say prakrti is the mother who has created spirit itself.

The Tantric thinkers also imagine a kind of nirvana where the individual souls cease to exist. Belief in God is not seen in the philosophy that worships the material potency. The worshipers of the Lord's spiritual potency offer prayers to the all-knowing Supreme God. Imitating and mocking those prayers, the worshiperr of matter sometimes also offer prayers to the material potency.

The truth is that the different Tantras expound very different philosophies. It cannot be said that every Tantra teaches the worship of the material energy (sakti-vada). In some Tantras that philosophy is accepted, and in other Tantras it is not. It is vehemently opposed. In some Tantras it is said that the Supreme Brahman is the creator, in others that material nature (prakrti) is the creator, and in others that the individual soul (jiva) is the creator. In some Tantras it is said that the individual souls are illusory (mithya), and in other it is said that the individual souls are real (satya). In some Tantras it is said that the letter m in the sacred syllable Om is the creator, in other Tantras that the Supreme Person (purusa) and material nature (prakrti) are both the creators, and in other Tantras that material nature is the sole creator of all. In conclusion it may be said that so many different philosophies are taught in the Tantras that no one of them can be singled out as the only philosophy of the Tantras. . . .

In the Tantras are also described "lata-sadhana" (ritual illicit sex), "panca-makara-sadhana" (ritual activities of sex and consumption of flesh, fish, and wine), and "sura- sadhana" (ritual wine drinking). What kind of religious activities are these? I have no idea how thse can be considered religious activities. These ideas are like the atheistic karma- mimamsa or the goddess of material nature imagined b Compte. This kind of Tantric worship was created in someone's imagination. I will not say anything more about it.
