Aspects of Tantra Yoga-Debabrata Sen Sharma
| The
distinguishing feature of all schools of Indian philosophy in general is that
these do not remain content with merely enunciating the metaphysical tenets
of the particular school, but they also set up the spiritual goal before the
seekers, prescribing the modes of spiritual discipline to reach it. Spiritual
discipline or Yoga therefore constitutes an inseparable part of the
philosophy of every school. This is very true especially in the case of
Tantric schools, in which spiritual practices or sadhana kriya dominate. The
performance of kriya in the prescribed manner forms an integral part of all
texts dealing with Tantra Yoga. This book opens with an account of the nature, origin and development of Saiva-Sakta Tantras, their classification under different schools, the wealth of literature available belonging to these schools, etc. It also sheds light on the principal metaphysical tenets of Saiva and Sakta Tantras, relevant to the study of Tantra-Yoga. The topics covered in this book are the concepts of divine Grace or saktipata, guru and his different kinds, the process of initiation (diksa) and its varieties, mantra’s nature and place in sadhana kriya, different modes of spiritual discipline, Kundalini Yoga, the highest spiritual goal, etc. This book attempts to remove the misconceptions widespread in the academic world about the theory and practice of Tantra-Yoga, which have been deliberately kept secret by the practitioners to prevent their misuse by unscrupulous persons. |
