The vision of Tantra:
Tantra is a spiritual tradition that originated in India and has roots in Hinduism and Buddhism. It encompasses various practices aimed at achieving spiritual liberation, including dropping everything and dissolving into nothingness.
It includes Hatha yoga, Pranayama, Bhandas, Mudras, visualizations, meditation, and ritualistic ceremonies. Likewise, it also includes sexual practices. It considers the universe and human life to be expressions of the supreme Paramatman and aims to awaken the mysterious Kundalini Shakti for personal transformation and spiritual advancement.
Kashmir Shaivism Poem on Tantra:
In the land of Kashmir, there lived a sage, Whose teachings on Tantra, still amaze. Abhinavagupta, a master of the art, Whose wisdom and insights, have touched many a heart.
He taught that Tantra, is not just a rite, But a path to liberation, with power and might. A way to awaken, the divine within, And merge with the universe, to be whole again.
He spoke of the dance, of Shiva and Shakti, And how their union, can heal and uplift thee. Of the power of bliss, to transcend all fear, And the joy that arises when body and soul are near.
So come, journey with me, on this path of truth, And discover the wisdom, of Abhinavagupta’s proof. Embrace the mystery, of Tantra divine, And find the bliss that lies, within your mind.
