Acquiring skills for living together in dignity, respect, understanding, trust, compassion, and open honesty doesn't just happen, these skills are learned through direct experience. 

Tantra Yoga had been one of the potent powers for the spiritual regeneration of the Hindus. When practised by the ignorant, unenlightened, and unqualified persons, it has led to certain abuses; and there is no denying that some degraded forms of Saktism have sought nothing but magic, immorality, and occult powers. An example of the perverted expression of the truth, a travesty of the original practices, is the theory of the five Makaras (Pancha Makaras);-Madya or wine, Mamsa or flesh, Matsya or fish, Mudra or symbolical acts, and Maithuna or coition. The esoteric meaning of these five Makaras is: "Kill egoism, control flesh, drink the wine of God-intoxication, and have union with Lord Siva".

Tantra explains (Tanoti) in great detail the knowledge concerning Tattva (Truth or Brahman) and Mantra (mystic syllables). It saves (Trayate). Hence it is called Tantra.

The Tantras are not books of sorcery, witchcraft, magic spells, and mysterious formulae. They are wonderful scriptures. All persons without the distinctions of caste, creed, or colour may draw inspiration from them and attain spiritual strength, wisdom, and eternal bliss. Mahanirvana and Kularnava Tantras are the important books in Tantra Sastra. Yoga Kundalini Upanishad of Krishna Yajurveda, Jabala Darsana, Trisikha Brahmana, and Varaha Upanishad are useful for getting knowledge of Kundalini Sakti and the methods to awaken it and take it to Sahasrara Chakra at the crown of the head.

The Tantra is, in some of its aspects, a secret doctrine. It is a Gupta Vidya. You cannot learn it from the study of books. You will have to get the knowledge and practice from the practical Tantrikas, the Tantric Acharyas and Gurus who hold the key to it. The Tantric student must be endowed with purity, faith, devotion, dedication to Guru, dispassion, humility, courage, cosmic love, truthfulness, non-covetousness, and contentment. Absence of these qualities in the practitioner means a gross abuse of Saktism.

The Sakti Tantra is Advaita Vada. It proclaims that Paramatman (Supreme Soul) and Jivatman (individual soul) are one. The Saktas accept the Vedas as the basic scriptures. They recognise the Sakta-Tantras as texts expounding the means to attain the goal set forth in the Vedas.

Tantra Yoga lays special emphasis on the development of the powers latent in the six Chakras, from Muladhara to Ajna. Kundalini Yoga actually belongs to Tantric Sadhana which gives a detailed description about this serpent-power and the Chakras (plexus). Entire Tantric Sadhana aims at awakening Kundalini, and making her to unite with Lord Sadasiva, in the Sahasrara Chakra. Methods adopted to achieve this end in Tantric Sadhana are Japa of the Name of the Mother, prayer, and various rituals.

All life and every aspect of being including sexuality are held as profoundly sacred in tantra. As the path of 'full aliveness' how could it be otherwise! And because Tantric Yoga teaches us to be fully real and fully present in everything we do, it brings with it simplicity in living, open honesty of heart and the deepest genuine reverence & respect for ourselves, for others, for every facet of life and for the blessedness & beauty of our entire natural world  

Tantra yoga is a path of direct experience. Through it's powerful practices, exercises, humour, celebration and meditation we are encouraged to embrace the real dynamics for 'authentic being' and relationship, to become more alive and deeply present to every moment and experience of our being.

Tantra is a path of yoga meditation that views the human body as a doorway to higher consciousness, in fact, the body is seen by Tantrics as the ultimate source of awakening. It is believed that the very sensations and emotions experienced by us contain all the mysteries of the Universe . . . put simply, the ultimate is only accessible through the immediate. The breath, movement and sound techniques of Tantra enliven the body and expand the senses, making it possible to reach deep levels of ecstatic meditation through intimate contact with the immediate through sensation and emotion. Thought in the west to be merely a sexual technique, Tantra is actually one of the most ancient yoga meditation paths from the east, which goes far beyond sexual experience. 

Tantra is a path of surrender - not in the western context of submission or subjugation, but as in 'surrendering to life' or 'surrendering to being'. Tantric yoga encourages us to actively embrace all of ourselves and who we are, and enter into life completely. Every aspect of our being including sexuality is held as profoundly sacred in tantra. 

When we are fully present in everything we do there is a beautiful simplicity to living, an open honesty in the heart and the deepest reverence, aliveness & respect of ourselves, of others, and of every consciousness and experience in our being
