At the very outset, I'd like to acknowledge my limitation that I can't stop randos who don't qualify (that is either you're not a bengali, or you're not dikshita at all) from voting, but it's still my humble request that only Bengali + Dikshita people vote, because I'm seeking opinions from ONLY that section. If any unqualified (either non-dikshit, or dikshit but not Bengali) want to weigh in, I'll be happy to read your comments, PROVIDED you identify as such in comments so I know I'm listening to the opinion of outgroup from the poll target.

The Real Face of Chaukidars: The Mask of "Concern For You" Falls Off

Every one of you would have come across one or the other pieces of filth on this sub or on reddit itself whose only job is to do fear-mongering: Rajarshi Nandy is evil, no POTENT (as opposed to impotent, and yes you've gotten the image right) sadhana can be done by oneself, by gradual progression, or even through Guru upadesha taken online after paying consultation fees. Oh, and you're also not allowed to search for Guru, you're not allowed to have a preference for any deity, you're not allowed to have a preference for achara, you're not allowed to read the tantric texts and know what you're getting into, you're not allowed to even make an effort (unless the effort is to do the ego-stroking aka chaploosi of this small coterie). And you're definitely not allowed to intentionally pursue power, fame, riches, and connect with Mahavidyas while they themselves will do all of that.

And when you ask why, when you point the hypocrisy, they resolve to fear-mongering and patronizing: the Gaslight (a 101 tactic of manipulative vermin) you into believing that the entire world is out to only scam you and only they- these small handful of thugs who won't even give you Guru lead for basic mantra, so that you can prove your worthiness by showing progress with that mantra- are your only well-wishers.

But their face keeps showing time and again, and this is umpteenth proof of the same: this screenshot was shared by a popular (caveat: also hyper-commercial, but not necessarily a red flag of fakeness in itself) astrologer-cum-Guru. The person on the other side of conversation is a senior sadhaka of Chaukidar type, and look at the mentality he is displaying in the highlighted area of the screenshot. This Chaukidar is objecting whole-and-sole to the very idea of a "normal man" doing potent Sadhana-s, of Mahavidya-s. Not objecting to any specific harm, not objecting to any specific method of teaching, directly attacking the very aspiration and idea of someone who is "normal" (aka rich and successful in material domains of life) pursuing power and success in Sadhana as well. It is only insecurity and gatekeeping instinct, and resentment of people like Rajarshi Nandy sir who tell people that they can have a super-successful normal life while doing powerful Sadhana-s, of Mahavidya-s and "shakti-s" (the term used in this screenshot) that makes these chaukidars stop and discourage you from tantra sadhana.

TLDR: screenshot of chat between a popular Guru and his associate who is a chaukidar. Chaukidar objecting to the very idea of the same person being successful in both material and shakti Sadhana domain, Guru correcting/scolding him.
