![]() Aims of Tantra Yoga Tantra Yoga aims to bring in consciousness in all the three states of human life; that is, in the conscious state, the waking state and in the dream state. In order to attain this consciousness, the human mind needs to seek immense spiritualism and deep knowledge. Tantra Yoga teaches the methodology and the ways which discards intolerance, ignorance, selfishness and the animal instinct that is present in human beings. Tantra Yoga thus concentrates on a single point that helps individuals to emancipate the consciousness from limitation. Role of Shakti in Tantra Yoga ![]() The world is illusory where the driving force is the power of desire (Ichcha Shakti). The desire is present in one who is without attributes or in the Brahmana. Tantra Yoga believes the primary driving force behind the universe is nothing but desire. Without desire it is not possible to go on with the continuity of this world. As a result Tantra Yoga does not encourage human beings to renounce their desires. The state of desirelessness can only be achieved with the help of asceticism according to Tantra Yoga and the paradox of Tantra Yoga is that an individual should have a strong desire to culminate to a state of desirelessness. Meditation in Tantra Yoga Tantra Yoga imparts the idea that desires are very natural for a soul embodied within a human body. Sense organs of human beings serve as windows through which desires seep into human body. Moreover presence of desire within an individual encourages the desire for a particular object. Most individuals come within the clutches of physical desires which include bodily comforts. As a result individuals get dominated by their physical instincts. Such desires constitute the lower part of human personality and as a result humans fall prey to negative feelings like disturbance, isolation, unease, disappointment, egotism and depression. Tantra Yoga brings physical and mental cleansing through Pranayama or breathing exercises, visualization of Yantra and deities, repetition of Mantra or Japa, etc. Thus Tantra Yoga helps to discover the divine nature of individuals through various processes. |
