Tantra

Tantra?

Tantra’ has been derived from two words: ‘Tan’ meaning ‘body’ ‘Tra’ which means ‘to defend’. Which implies that the word Tantra is meant to describe a process through which the body can be defended against all sorts of diseases and inevitable evils. In the literal sense and a more generalized form, though, it means ‘to rule’. For example, the word Rajtantra means ‘the rule of a king (raja)’ and also, the word ‘Prajatantra’ signifies ‘the rule of the people (praja)’ or democracy.According to the followers of the Tantra Vidya or the knowledge of Tantra, this is the only knowledge remnant in ‘Kaliyug’ or the present Dark Age, through which we can fight back all difficulties in our life and live merrily.

relationship between Tantra and sexuality?

n Tantra, sexuality is total and filled with bliss. However, Tantra is not about sex. Sex practiced or performed in Tantra is what is taught by most teachers of this spiritual lifestyle. At some point Tantrikas experience a bliss-filled state that can be identified as asexuality. Perhaps because of general sexual suppression by cultures and religions, ancient carvings in Nepal and India depicting unbridled sexual sharing create indelible labels. Some Tantrikas do not engage in sex at all.
