		Kalachakra geht einfach vom einem komplizierteren psycho-physischen Modell des Menschen aus, vielen Detail-Energien, deren Existenz in anderen Tantras nicht einmal erwähnt wird, wie etwa der Funktion des Ausscheidens, sind eigene Gottheiten zugeordnet.

		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.
