What is Tantra?- A real explanation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- The word 'Tantra' has for many people become entirely identified with gaining sexual pleasure. But this understanding misses the whole essence of the tradition. Tantra is really about using and transforming the physical world around us so that we can realise our divine nature.
Most aspects of Hinduism today has some form of tantric practice. There is Mantra, Yantras and Mudras as well as tantric forms of Yoga. But where we really see the greatness of this tradition is in the Hindu Temple. Through a series of rituals material matter in the form of an image becomes 'divinised' into the embodiment of God. In this way we can appreciate that Tantra, is not about hedonistic pleasure, but is about living with the divine.
Simple basic translation:-
Mantra = Chant, slogan, Prayer.
Tantra = Technique, method, mechanism.
Yantra = Machine.
Mudra = Posture, position.
Yantra means image not machine
nice clear explanation...Hari Bol! :)
Thanks!
Hari Hara
have been waiting for your new video for such a long time
Thanks, u have really changed the way i see this world
When I was in Fairfield, Iowa I found a book on tantra in the public library and it was saying that tantra is the rung of yoga with the practice of seeing sacredness in all things.
Such clear, precise, educated and encompassing introduction into the world of Tantra in just ten minutes. Thank you for this. ✨✨ Jai Jai Mā! ✨✨
Hinduism ,,, the Path of Life 😍😍😍
Oh, this is beautifully put together! I was struggling to explain the Aghori people and their practices to my western colleagues who had seen Raza Aslan’s CNN documentary and was failing miserably. I can share this one with them now.
It is very easy to understand the metaphysical underpinnings of what the aghoris do. All is one there is no good and bad or holy and unholy. everything is holy. I think it is that simple. But should you try and justify or apologize for what they do? It is beyond the pale for most Indians. Most hindus would not try and justify their practices. I really don't think that people who practice mainstream dharmic religion need to explain or justify bizarre fringe sects that horrify most hindus.
Hᴜꜱᴛʟᴇ Lᴏʏ Yeah, but it’s a bit difficult to fathom for them that we don’t even eat beef in the mainstream because we see the cow as holy, but aghoris resort to cannibalism (or they did in that documentary) and we don’t condemn them or disassociate them from Hinduism.
@@theodore8178 um, aghora doesn't do anything horrifying. They don't harm anyone, don't kill or murder anyone but modern militaries make atomic bombs and kill millions of innocents.
No aghori will tell you to become one yourself. They would rather advise against it. Aghora is a very radical path and should never horrify Hindus. On the contrary, we should be proud of those who follow such severe and challenging pathways.
@Language and Programming Channel cows especially since cows are the economic sustenance of Indian religious economy from Vedic. Times.
Beef eating is downright prohibited in most authoritative Hindu scriptures. Hindus violating scriptural conduct is no excuse to defame Hinduism
@@swatisri2409 cannibalism is killing and eating your own species and Developing a lust of that meat.
I have never seen an aghori be intoxicated by human meat and coming ahead to kill an innocent.
Aghoris do not eat beef. Not as far as I know.
Thank you again and again
Thanks for loyal support to the channel
Wow. I did not understand tantra very well, but this has helped me understand it better.

Atma Kriya Yoga :)))
Super explanation
I think a lot of westerners think tantra is a sexual thing. Because that is the only context that we might hear the word. It would be so cool if you can make a video about sex in the future! Is the context of Hinduism! Thank you so much for your videos! I have watched every single one!
@Hᴜꜱᴛʟᴇ Lᴏʏ MUSIC
There is a reason why monks don't involve in sex. Plus,it has obvious side effects related to it but if u don't have a problem with it then...it's ur choice. But a warning,it might be harmful. I didn't say sex is bad. I am saying wrong attitude towards sex is dangerous.

Loved it !
Only these type of information can save todays hindus generation... heavily influenced by Western culture.
It is not part of Hinduism,
It is above than that
Could you make a video about the science present in Ancient India and Dharmic culture? 😊
AUMmmm Love
Tantralokha and tantrasara are two main scriptures on Tantra by Abhinav gupta, who lived 1000 years ago
Thank you for your video. Do you have a transcript of this video? If so, please could you send me the link to it? Thank you.
Sir...you really make amazing videos on Hinduism & explain it with proper reasoning.
I have seen most of the videos. Your video where you start quoting a Mahabharata verse "whatever can be found here...." I simply loved that video & it was my first one. How to contact you sir? Want to learn more from you. After seeing that video of yours I understand you are the person who is having a bird eye view about entire Hindu philosophy. I need to learn many things from a true spiritual seeker like you. Please share me your contact details like email address or Whatsapp.
You should post more frequently ! btw do u have any other social media handle?
Aghora Trilogy by Robert e. Svoboda
Thank you for this video, your sincere intention comes across beautifully! :)
Would you consider making a video about Krishna Consciusness and how it relates to Hinduism in general? I'm quite confused really, becouse sometimes they refer to themselves as vaishnava's altough it's quite clear that to them Krishna is the Supreme Personality of God.
If not a video maybe some chat about this would be awesome too! :)
@mark vaz
Cult would not be the right word, but parampara, which means lineage or a tradition...
And ISKCON is just a modern name of a age old tradition known as Bramha Madhava Gaudiya sampradaya...and it is connected to Srila Madhvacharya...who is a renowned saint of India...
Please don't spread rumors about anyone if you don't have complete knowledge....
Krasna is the supreme “personality" of God, the quoted word tells us many things.
Zsolt names do not matter atleast in devotion
Would like a video on Atman.
Tantrik Tradition has ”sathakarma”.You should Explain this
Tantra means system
कार्य प्रणाली ।

The Tantric Sex thing isn't just a misunderstanding of Tantra, it's what con artists in the West use to make terrible products sound "mysterious" "esoteric" or otherwise different from the norm.
It's not a "Top 50 Different Sex Positions to Try After Dark," it's a passionate form of worship expressed by billions across the globe.
And if you ARE serious about exploring religious belief/divinity in your sex life, please treat it as such: take the love of your life, embrace each other, and while doing so, accept everything about their being in pure, unobsessed love. See it as one speck of paint across the beautiful canvas that is the cosmos and enjoy it all
I’m gonna make a Hindu/Dharmic religions discord server, would anyone be interested in joining?
Hᴜꜱᴛʟᴇ Lᴏʏ a discord server so we can all have intelligent convos and share devotional music, etc;
Did you know: Any sacrificial fire / Yajna performed after the sunset is Tantric in nature
As an orthodox christian other religious beliefs that see the divine in the physical are heartwarming. For us the Divine is to be seated in the Nuos or intellect and the Nous is to be brought into the kardia or heart. We are body mind and soul called to partake in the divine nature and divine properties can be communicated to physical human nature. That is the point of the incarnation.
But vamachara is scary. The Aghoris . . . no! I am interested in but ambivalent to hindu religion.
Is that you in thumbnail?🤔
Nice video! But Sri yantra represents Devi lalita Tripurasundari.
Mantra = theorum
Tantra = practical.
Mantra is a theory derived. Fruitition of which lies in Tantra. When it is applied practically. It can be a yantra. Mechanism as to speak off.
Don't speculate. Final stage is yantra. When it's fully applied. An apparatus which brings the theorum to practical use. 🤣
Tantra tantrika mean full body and body parts
Define "God'
Whats your take on Vishishtadvaita? I would disagree with details, but the overall picture if you abstract away those specifics seems to align with what i believe. I'm sincerely interested in the similarities and differences in hinduism, judaism, and catholic/orthodox christianity.
Islam, protestantism and buddhism are beyond the pale to me.
But in Vedanta the higher self is God or a part of God, In Orthodox Judaism the higher soul is a part of God, In Orthodox Christianity its not the soul but human nature itself and your nature as a person that are one of many logoi or divine ideas and a portion of God. Our disagreements are obvious but there is real common ground there that ought to be discussed and isn't ever discussed. We are all agreeing independently that there is a part of us humans that is inherently Divine.
@Hᴜꜱᴛʟᴇ Lᴏʏ Abu Qurrah was an Arab church father known for writing anti Islamic polemics!
It is a Melkite or Arab Christian name.
I have passing familiarity Shankara and Advaita and am aware of a couple dualistic sects as well. But I only know what I was taught and read during religious studies classes. I've dialogued with a couple srf members but they seem very westernized and against any sort of religious rites or ecstatic ritual which is just hard for me to understand.
@Hᴜꜱᴛʟᴇ Lᴏʏ I was born in the U.S. I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_Orthodox_Church_of_Antioch
@Hᴜꜱᴛʟᴇ Lᴏʏ I don’t know if a youtube comment will work. It feels trite condensing it. But I will try to outline the key points:
The Trinity There is one uncaused cause the Father alone and in that strict sense of the word he is the “one God” The one and only uncaused cause. The father eternally generates his Nous Logos or Consciousness and “breathes” His Spirit The Three are of one nature with him and divine with his divinity. That is the Trinity. It has been altered in western Christianity. The western claim is that the Father Son and Holy Spirit are identical to God’s essence (rather than just having God’s essence) But they aren’t Identical to each other. That creates contradictions that weren’t there in the though of the nicene fathers. Then they different doctrine of Trinitarian relations when it comes to God’s Spirit. Roman Catholics will say we worship the same Trinity. Many Orthodox will say no. I think think we do but we cant both be right on the details.
God’s Consciousness takes on flesh and becomes man. This is Jesus. Jesus is one and the same as God’s Consciousness. He is consubstantial with us and with God.
God (the divine consciousness of the Father) becomes man to overcome death by death and to make man God . we don’t become the uncaused cause. We become divine by participation in His divine Nature.
orthodoxwiki.org/Theosis
Already our inner essence is a portion of God like a thought within His Divine Intellect.
jaysanalysis.com/2010/04/10/st-maximus-van-til-aquinas-logoslogoi/
But for most of us this is not fully realized and we do not completely conform to the divine idea that is both the ground and end of our existence. The Saints we venerate because they have become a portion of God.
The Roman Catholic church until 1054 was a part of the Orthodox Church. Protestantism is an abberant splinter from the RCC that I don’t get. Yet gained traction. The Nicene Creed was written and formalized by the Orthodox and Catholics together. The New Testament was written by us (RCC&EOC) and the bible canonized us.
You may not have heard much about theosis before but everything I’ve said the RCC agrees with and is in their catechism. Protestants no longer teach it but the original reformers taught theosis too. Somehow the main focus for the Christians in the west has been on grace vs works and various interpretations of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. The cross is important to orthodox too, but there is no penal substitution or any notion “satisfaction” of God’s wrath. Somehow the both the RCC and Protestants lost the focus on union with God. Even though it is in most of their catechism most seem totally unaware and some protestants will even be scandalized by it.
I think I have the basics of Advaita down. I had to study it in school. Correct me if I’m wrong here: the human person ceases to exist when they reach self realization? The Orthodox say the person becomes more real and remains intact when they achieve union with God or deification. So Christianity in its proper form seems fairly close to qualified nondualism but not so much advaita or hindu dualism. Protestant Christians though tend to be totally dualistic despite their origins. They usually don’t get what the bible says about the Father alone being the source of all (they will often apply this unique property of the Father to the whole Trinity). They Usually don’t get that the scriptures teach union with God. Read John 17 if you doubt me when I say this.
@Hᴜꜱᴛʟᴇ Lᴏʏ Yes, I know Advaita is not dualism and i know what it means. I mentioning both Advaita and Dvaita. I was simply calling Dvaita dualism. Sorry if that was not clear.
@Hᴜꜱᴛʟᴇ Lᴏʏ I do appreciate aspects of advaita. But I am Orthodox Christian.
We teach a union of the body mind and soul with God. Deification of the body was what the orthodox vs gnostic dispute was about, Orthodox taught deification of the body and the body as a path towards further union with God. Gnostics claimed matter and the body are evil.
Correct me if I'm wrong on this: Tantrism is about the body as a means towards union with God? This is taken down both benign and seriously depraved routes (the left hand)?
