Tantra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For Tantric Buddhism, see Vajrayana. For the texts classified as Tantras, see Tantras.

The Sri Yantra
Tantra (Sanskrit: तन्त्र , “loom, warp”; hence “principle, system, doctrine”, from the two root words tanoti “stretch, extend, expand”, and trayati “liberation”), anglicised tantricism or tantrism or tantram, is the name scholars give to an inter-religious spiritual movement that arose in medieval India, expressed in scriptures (called “Tantras”).

An important characteristic of this movement was that it is a radically positive, world-embracing vision of the whole of reality as an expression of a joyous Divine Consciousness (for example, as the divine play of Shakti and Shiva.[1]). Tantric spiritual practices and rituals aim to bring about an inner realization of this truth, bringing freedom from ignorance and rebirth in the process. [1] Though not the case with most Tantric practices, in some schools of “left-handed” Tantra (Vamachara), ritual sexual practice is employed as a way of entering into the underlying processes and structure of the universe.[2]
