Tantra Yoga

Tantra Yoga is a holistic technique of studying of the macrocosm from the point of view of microcosm. It is the study of the universal through the study of the individual. Tantra Yoga brings into play all the sciences - astronomy, astrology, numerology, physiognomy, physics, chemistry, alchemy. Further it is also inspired by Ayurveda (the traditional medicine of India), psychology, mathematics, geometry, so on and so forth.

All this in a bid to provide a practical means of realizing the highest ideals of philosophy in daily life. Rather than and categorize the different areas of human knowledge, Tantra Yoga pulls them together.

Rather than limit itself to any one branch of a tree, Tantra Yoga studies the whole tree of life itself. This tree is a microcosm, a great organization of miscellaneous essentials all connected together by a uniting law (called the dharma), which is intrinsic in their very nature. Tantra Yoga makes an attempt to understand this law.

The purpose and objective of Tantra Yoga is to develop awareness in all states of consciousness. This may be waking state, dream state or sleep states. To achieve this sort of deprogramming and reprogramming of the human computer becomes necessary. Our being born in a certain place and time is responsible for our fundamental programming. This is further impacted by heredity and environment. If we are satisfied with the outcome and continue living our lives devoid of many problems, then there is no need for transformation of any sort. But when we go through a lot of trials and tribulations in life or start to look for something beyond our limited program then we require some way to modify it.

Tantra Yoga offers the line of attack as well as the means and devices for this. Tantra Yoga tutors us in identifying the wide range of factors that impact our thoughts and feelings. It helps us rise above the impediments to our development, particularly those cropping up from ignorance, intolerance, attachment to our animal nature, and selfishness. By purifying our thoughts and feelings with the help of these Tantra Yoga techniques and methods, we learn to create peace, harmony, and order within ourselves. Tantra Yoga thus inculcates a centeredness, concentration and focus, which help us to release our consciousness from limitations.

What is Tantra according to hindu philosophy?

Yoga is an ancient Indian form of meditation and exercise that deals with the mental, physical and spiritual aspects of an individual's life. According to Hindu philosophy, tantra involves the practice of various spiritual exercises and techniques to achieve spiritual liberation. In that sense tantra and yoga are similar. However, tantra yoga is a fairly odd statement as the tantric practices tend to differ quite a lot from yoga. However, there is a branch that deals with how to practice tantra yoga. Tantric yoga is an extremely intense and advanced form of yoga where all physical barriers and inhibitions are done away with.
