Tantra
 

Tantra means a method to perform a worship in a systemised way.

When a Mantra is chanted according to the proper Tantra, the sound vibrations gather force from the Yantra and after reflecting from its surface spread out into the universe and reach the concerned God. These vibrations come into contact with the form of the God, gather divine powers and blessings from Him and return to the Sadhak (person chanting), thus instilling divinity into him and giving him power to achieve supernatural feats.Thus, to achieve totality of life three ingredients Mantra, Tantra and Yantra are essential because all three are supplements of each other. This is the Science. Vigyan means science in Hindi Language.

Due to ignorance and selfishness of some people Tantra became a tabooed and much dreaded word in society and people became petrified just by hearing about it. The common man thinks that a Tantrik is a person who drinks liquor, smokes opium, abuses everyone, has large redshot eyes, one who can kill anyone and who always remains engaged in evil works.

Nothing is further from the truth. Such people are imposters, they are not Tantriks. Tantra actually means accomplishing Mantra Sadhana in a very systemised way. If there is a Mantra then the process of its use is Tantra. Tantra is the way to perform a Sadhana(meditation) in a proper and correct manner. The method or way to achieve totality in Sadhana is Tantra.

True knowledge knows no bounds and this is especially true about Indian knowledge of Sadhanas (meditation), Yoga & philosophy, which has been illuminating the path of world peace and brotherhood since ages. In fact, these principles make it more a system of life, than mere knowledge.

The ancient Indian sages and ascetics had achieved full perfection and harmony with the nature, and they could perform seemingly impossible feats. The Ramayan, Mahabharat and other Indian texts are full of such examples, but today the so-called "rational" mind dismisses them as mere myths and superstition.

Most of the true knowledge has been lost due to foreign onslaught over the past millennium. The common man goes to a temple or ashram, sings some hymns, touches the feet of some Swami who nods his head, charges huge fees as "Dakshina" and assures positive results. Then he merely recites mugged up verses and mantras without producing the desired results. Upon failure and having become thoroughly dejected, the common man dismisses all ancient Indian spiritual sciences as hoax and swindle.
