Details: The Tantra is a system of knowledge that will be of much assistance in realizing the ideal of life. It stands for a code of Sadhana for attaining the knowledge of the self, the twenty-four Tattvas, ten senses of perception and action, five Pranas, mind, buddhi, cit and Ahankara. Besides the Tantras discuss among other Sadhanas, the method of initiation, sitting postures, paths of yoga, worship of deity, meditator and siddhis. Tantras discuss the centre of energy known as chakras in the body of human beings. They are concerned with the Para Vidya, a knowledge of the ultimate Reality, responsible for the creation, maintenance and destruction of the world. The tantric religion is as old as any other form of Religion. It must have undergone a tremendous change while passing through the stages. In fact the ritual side of the Vedas and the practical Kriyas of the Mahayanists for the attainment of spiritual upliftment constitute the present tantras. The tantras are considered by their adherents as Sastra supreme for the current age of Kali, when mankind is living under a heavy load of Adharma, untruth and unrightiousness.
