Description
Tantra was introduced into the 'Language' in the late 18th century by European missionaries in India, who were appalled and horrified by the explicit imagery,lavishly colored multi-append aged deities in union with consorts which were on display,'in all places' temples, sacred sites and worshiped by pious devotees with lavish complicated rituals. Tantra is a spiritual method or science focused on the nature of experience, in particular experience of the mind. Everything we interact with ultimately happen in the mind, including the acts of the body and speech in our relationships with the world around us as well as our own inner world of perceptions, feelings, ideas. Mind is the basic primordial awareness principal itself. The goal of tantra is to come into direct experience of pure awareness.
