Tantra Sādhanā : #thread

Tantra means technology. Sādhanā means vehicle. A technology that works as vehicle for you to reach somewhere is tantra sādhanā.

Sādhanā also means quest precision.
A discipline that works as a procedure for acquiring precision is also- Tantra Sādhanā.

To understand Sādhanā, we have to understand a few basic principles.

The manas functions out of accumulated memory. Devoid of objective world consisting of distinctions (bheda), the manas looses its manasatva or the quality of mind which is the continuum of space-time-causation.

The manas feeds on inter and intra-ectoplasmic occupations. These are called Vṛttis which take a combined form of cyclical tendencies called Vāsanās. There are 50 categorisations of these vṛttis encapsulated in 50 seed sounds.

Sādhanās are vehicles for mastery over these.

The highest type of sādhanā is Tantra-Yoga Sādhanā. this is it not only mastery over these but also the exercise of creation and destruction over these vṛttis. This amounts to removing the curtain of Māyā and looking at the devī in her true form.

The names of these modifications are the following and they are corresponding to specific locations within the human system and its various scaffoldings:

These 50 express themselves in 1,000 forms. Their medium of input and output of these modifications are the five sense organs through their functions. And, also the five motor organs and their functions.

So tantra sādhanā uses them only to go beyond them. Just as if you walk 5 steps into a room, you have to take another five steps to move out of it.

This is done with a lot of guidance and precision.

This moving out of the room is achieved through Kulākula Mārgā which involves the union of the polarities. Kula means Śakti and akula means Śiva. This is the highest Tantra Sādhanā. All the other sādhanās and vidyās are ultimately aimed towards this.

Tantra Sadhana works on five levels in the system - body, mind, emotion and energy. It may use external substance as a crutch, but ultimately everything is only possible through the inner workings of human system.

With a unique configuration of the involvement of all these 4 dimensions, the vehicle is complete and adept to take you ahead. Guru is the one who gives a particular kind of configuration taking into consideration the particular kind of system of a particular kind of a person.

Tantra weaves these vehicles into every detail of one's life to take him towards the destination called Yoga. - Mahānirvaṇa Tantra
