Our tantra diary January-April 2019 is set out below. As I have mentioned before, I am taking a sort of semi-retirement, so I will not be available as much as in the past to answer the phone and respond to emails. However Jyoti and Veena will be here, and they will be handling the bookings as well as offering the massages. I decided that this would be preferable, rather than taking on someone new who would not be familiar with our way of working – just in order to handle appointments. So please be aware that your phone calls and emails may not be answered as promptly, and dare I say, as efficiently, as in the past. However, hopefully, this will not be a problem, as long as you can have some understanding and patience. The masseuses will only answer the phone in between appointments, when they are free, so it would make things easier if you can contact them more by email, and preferably with as much advance notice as possible. .

Tantra Holidays are important for our masseuses What I mean by tantra holidays, is that they need to take breaks every now and then, to restore their energy. We only have one masseuse working every day, except Thursday, which is when we have our special 4 hand massage offer. Most other agencies have many more masseuses on their books, so with them, you can probably easily make last minute bookings. We have been getting booked up well in advance and many of our clients need to plan ahead of time, especially those coming to London from other cities in England and from abroad. I have been asked quite a lot recently, why I don’t take on more tantric masseuses. But it is not easy to find the right ones. Also, I have always been very particular, and insist on selecting and training our tantric masseuses with a great deal of care. Since some holidays are coming up, I thought I would outline them now, in advance, to make it clearer for all clients re. who will be working on which days. Lakshmi will be away from July 14-31, so she will not be available during that period…. Read more »

Come to us for a tantric massage in Kensington Central London Visitors to London will discover that we are in one of the most sought-after residential areas in Central London. Clients often ask us where we recommend for lunch or dinner after their appointment. Of course, we always advise them to come for their massage on an empty stomach, but after their appointment, they have a huge choice of nearby restaurants and cafes as well as tourist attractions. There are so many cafes and restaurants nearby, we are really spoiled for choice. Our masseuses are constantly slipping out to get a coffee from Starbucks, and Sainsbury and Waitrose are just nearby for lunchtime grocery shopping. Or, a little further away, on Kensington High Street with its upmarket shops, you can find the largest Wholefoods Market in London, with several restaurants on its first floor. Just around the corner from us is the highly recommended Evoluzione, a high class Italian restaurant. And just 5 mns walk away, near Gloucester Road underground station is the well-known Bombay Brasserie There are also less pricey but also excellent restaurants, depending on your taste – The Lotus Garden an excellent Chinese restaurant near Earl’s… Read more »

I’m back to tantric massage london from my yearly visit to India But I’m not feeling quite as energised and uplifted as I usually do. I had a cough bug for 6 weeks before leaving London and finally succumbed to taking antibiotics. What I didnt realise is that you shouldnt go in the sun when on antibiotics as they make you over sensitive to the sun. You cant really avoid the sun in India. March in particular is a really hot month. I would advise anyone thinking of going to India, to go between November and February, when its slightly cooler. Anyway, the heat made me really uncomfortable, and the conditions in the ashram where I was staying, were pretty stark, so all in all it was a bit of a challenge and a struggle . I did spend a few days by the sea in Palolem, Goa, which is always lovely, and I left at the weekend of the Holi Festival. Holi is celebrated on the full moon day in March. People paint their bodies and clothes in all manner of tones, and it was a sight walking on the beach and seeing the play of colours – both Indians… Read more »

Palolem has the reputation of being the nicest beach in Goa Whenever I go to Kollur, I take the train back via Palolem in Goa., and I usually stay there for a few days and make the most of the ayurvedic massages, delicious food and the wonderful sun, sea and sand.This time, I decided to reserve my train seat in advance, as anyone who has travelled on Indian trains knows, it can be very uncomfortable standing outside an indian train loo for hours on a packed train. I had been sittting on my reserved seat in a sleeper carriage, for approximately 20 mns., when a group of rather hippyish westerners clambered aboard and sat right next to me, claiming there was a mix up over the seat nos. We started chatting and they told me they were going to Agonda, a village just next to Palolem. They were all very experienced at hatha yoga, and were going to do a course in ‘traditional tantra yoga.’ They were led by a young American with a pony tail, who seemed very centred and completely unruffled by all the typical commotion in the train and the usual haggling with the ticket inspector and other passengers about… Read more »

India, as you all know, is the home of Tantra I have just returned from a 2 week stay in Kollur, Karnataka, India. Kollur is the home of the well-known Mookambika Temple which is among the seven most sacred temples in the state of Karnataka. It is said that the image of Goddess Mookambika was installed here by the great Sri Adi Shankara, the revered Hindu saint, who performed years of penance in the area. It is believed that Adi Shankara perceived the idea of having a Mookambika Devi temple at Kollur and himself installed the statue of the deity in the temple some 1200 years ago. It is also said that the Shiva Lingam in front of the goddess, materialised miraculously on its own. Mookambika is regarded as a manifestation of Shakti, Saraswathi and Mahalakshmi. In fact, she symbolises the Supreme Truth or Transcendental Supreme Reality. In the top middle photo, you can see the statue of Goddess Mookambika being paraded around the temple, in a special golden chariot, carried by dozens of temple priests. as well as the individuals who have paid for the event. They usually run as fast as they can, with bells clanging, crowds… Read more »
