A special kind of pure, powerful and erotic femininity is symbolically described and venerated in the Tantric tradition as “The Dombi Woman”.

This represents a sum of fundamental feminine qualities that, once awakened, enable women to discover and assume their true role in the life of human society. This is, first of all, the role of the initiator into the supreme divine mysteries of the Creation and of the spiritual transformation of the human being.

A great initiatress

Because of her amazing orgasmic capacity the woman is spontaneously prepared for the tantric path, for transmitting mystical teachings of the highest level in a direct way.

Any woman, who is harmoniously structured and fully conscious of her potential, is a very powerful cosmic mediator.  She can easily reach the ultimate divine Reality through her superior intuition.

The woman has in her, even without knowing it, an immense erotic power that can be completely sublimated through transmutation and a beneficial orientation of her creative potential, and this will make her feel closer and closer to the Creator. (Read more in the full article)

Capacity to purify

Most descriptions of the oriental wisdom present the Dombi Woman as a woman of an inferior caste or outside all castes, which means that she has a certain disposition that helps her access the spiritual truths more easily.

As we know, these spiritual experiences are generally beyond or outside of the rigid common views and principles. The Dombi, the woman who “should not be touched” is often the symbol of the feminine energy itself, as this is also untouchable or in other words, beyond the comprehension of the human mind and the senses.

She is also called the “washing woman” as she, through her purity, has an immense capacity to harmonise, elevate and sacralise every aspect that she comes in touch with.

Origins

In the book “Masters of the Mahamudra Path (The Legends of the Eighty-four Mahasiddhas) Dombi designates “women of the lower caste or outside castes, that were chosen as consorts by the yogis because of their fully manifested femininity, lack of inhibitions and prejudices, and their capacity of total abandonment to the man perceived as the manifestation of the Universal Masculine Principle.

Mircea Eliade the famous orientalist describes the Dombi woman in his book “Spirituality and the sacred languages” as being  “a woman of extraordinary sensuality, a hyper-erotic woman who can help the tantric men reach transcendence, as this gigantic energy that Dombi possesses, either natively or by the enhancement of her sensuality, causes the awakening of Kundalini, which helps both her and the man to rapidly attain the state of androgyny and leads them to transcendence.”

The Dombi woman is often considered as being a clearly visible manifestation of the Great Goddess, the fascinating Nude Goddess, known as such (from prehistoric times) in the Afro-Asian and Euro-Asian cultures.

The power of nudity

The “Nude Goddess,” whose rudimentary statues are to be found throughout prehistory, is portrayed as being nude and elemental and natural.

She represents a sum of infinite creative potentialities just like Nature that she so perfectly embodies. Thus Dombi incarnates the spontaneous, voluptuous, almighty femininity that is unrestrained by any conditioning, moral codes or social concepts.

She is completely “nude” because she is fascinating and she has no form and no limitations.

Beyond good and bad, Dombi represents the “unformed Nature”, the creative feminine energy that breaks all barriers, penetrates everything and exists everywhere; making everything possible.
