	Kalachakra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It is the name of a highest level tantra and also the name of the dark blue male deity, whose golden consort is Vishvamata (Mother of the Universe.) The teaching of it, which is preparatory to the initiation, requires the construction of an intricate mandala, and to do it is an extensive undertaking.
		The Kalachakra teachings eventually reached India in the tenth century, brought by two masters who, although they had tried to reach the mysterious land did not succeed.
		In the 17th century, the Kalachakra made it to Inner Mongolia and Beijing, the Manchu capital of China, and on to Amdo, the northeastern province of Tibet.

		Also the Kalachakra warns for what happens if the astronomy is very much in the hands of "experts" and nobody else understands it anymore: then the invaders can change the tables etc., and nobody would notice it.

	KALACHAKRA
		And when we talk about the inner Wheel of Time, focusing primarily on the movement of the winds as we breathe in and out, because the wind (prana) is regarded as the mount of the mind, the changes emphasized here – the purification mainly being talked about – involve the transformation of the mind.
		Although the Kalachakra is similar to other tantric practices in that all deity practices involve the purification of these three doors of body, speech, and mind, what is special about Kalachakra is that it is far more intricate and detailed than you would ever imagine knowing the other tantras.
		According to the Kalachakra, there are a certain number of breaths that make up one day and night, and then a number of such days in a week, in a month, and in a year.
