what is the Tantra and mantra used for
Answers
Answer:
Tantric practices, including Tantra yoga, work on the subtle energies within the body to enhance spiritual growth and physical wellbeing. Through the exploration of these energies and their connection to the universe, the purpose of life and the connection to others can be understood in a new dimension.
Mantras are repetitive sounds used to penetrate the depths of the unconscious mind and adjust the vibration of all aspects of your being. Mantras are vibrated through chanting aloud, mental practice, or by listening to them. The experience of how sound vibrations effect your being is Naad yoga.
Answer:
Tantra, Mantra and Yantra
Fundamentally, the three represent the three basic approaches available to human beings to harness the power of God and use it to perform their duties upon earth as part of their obligatory duties. They are employed in the three important paths, which are mentioned in the Bhagavadgita namely the path of action (karma marg), the path of knowledge (jnana marg) and the path of renunciation (sanyasa marg). They can be used for constructive purposes to achieve peace and prosperity and liberation or for destructive ends to create chaos, cast evil spells or inflict pain and suffering upon others.
The method of Mantra is used to invoke divine power for positive and negative purposes through the use of mind or thought power (man+tra). In Yantras the restraining power (yan + tra) of the will is used for the same purpose. The Tantras are meant for the transformation and transmission of the physical (sexual) power of the body (tan) from the lower planes to higher planes through the use of tantu (nerve fibers or nadis). Thus, Tantra means the use of the body power (tan + tra) or the use of the nerves in the body (tant + tra) or both. Tantu is also a symbolic reference to God or Self (Tantunama or Tantu Nadha), who is the lord of the body. In that sense, Tantra means the use of the power (Shakti) of God for self-transformation and liberation.
