Tantra

Tantra is not a single system but the accumulation of various rites to transform mundane into super mundane and identification of microcosm and macrocosm. In some Indian religions, a text that deals with esoteric aspects of religious teachings is called tantra. There is considerable tantric practice in Hinduism, Buddhism and so to lesser extent, Jainism because tantric practices typically represent teachings of relatively late development and incorporate elements of different traditions they are often eschewed by orthodox practitioners.

Tantra Concept : Tantra is the mystic practice which involves Maya that is the inward and outward current of energy. Tantra includes specific practice of rituals consisting of food, feast, worship as well as sexual rites.

Tantra in Hinduism: Tantra has its origin from the ancient Hindu scripture Veda, especially the Atharvavedas. Tantra also involves the worship of Hindu deities and thus closely related with Hinduism.

Tantra Kundalini: The awakening of kundalini along with the charkas to attain divine energy is another part of Tantra.

Vamachara: It is the practice of Tantra in which both Pravritti Marg and Nivritti Marg are exploited and woman takes part in the Tantric Sadhana.

Dakshinachara : This is the Tantric practice in which Shiva and Shakti are worshipped as the power of universe to attain the higher path of Sadhana.

Tantra Yoga Teachers and Painters: Many painters have taught Tantra through their paintings. Among them Baba Dwarka Das, Harish Johari, Suresh Johari and Chandra Bal are the most renowned names.
