Tantra - Science of Infinity

Tantra, is the science of knowing the infinite in and through the


finite- the limited world of form. It teaches knowledge and
experience of the macrocosm through the microcosm, of the
unlimited by means of the limited, of supreme consciousness
through individual consciousness. Through Tantra, which
encompasses all aspects of life, we can use the world as a stepping
stone to go 'beyond' and discover our divine nature. Thus the
objective universe is utilised as a launching pad into the eternal.

Tantra is a practical system - 'sadhana, shastra', a practice-


orientated scripture, and its purposes is to impart spiritual
illumination to each and every individual by any means suitable. The
philosophical concepts of Tantra reach the loftiest heights in this
effort to express the inexpressible, to make comprehensible that
which cannot be grasped by the ordinary consciousness. Yet it has
not lost touch with practical application. It comprises a vast number
of practices to suit all personality types, combined with the highest
concepts realised by the tantric sages in deep meditation,
throughout the ages. As a science it does not ask the practitioner to
accept anything at face value. Validity must be proved through
personal experience. This is the tantric essence.

Tantra is a universal system. Though there may be local differences,


the basic premise is the same, that for the sake of understanding,
worship and spiritual sadhana, existence is divided into two
principles: manifest and unmanifest or Shakti and Shiva. This
concept of Shiva (Consciousness) and Shakti (Cosmic Mother) does
not depend on time, place and race, but is deeply ingrained in man's
collective psyche. Tantra has carried this symbology and tradition
from time immemorial to the present day as an expression of the
deeper realisation of man.
