Who Killed Tantra#
Tantra means system. (like Lok-Tantra, Praja-Tantra etc) Mantra means sound which contains secret, powerful energy. Yantra means tool.
Indian Tantra school (a school that uses a system or collection of systems) helps in creating tools (Yantra). This yantra may be of Devi (female), Devta (female) yantra. Theoretically, I believe it is possible to create neutral Yantra as well.
But the purpose is to use tool for some genuine good purpose and solve complex problems.
You do not use JCB crane to lift a pen. Without a tool, you can lift that using your hand.
Neither the purpose is to keep praising, cleaning, or sharpening or offering flowers to Yantra. Yantra (Tool) is meant to achieve some goal.
Being a subjective Yantra you need to maintain a personal and emotional relationship with the Yantra that is why daily Pooja etc is necessary but that is not the goal. Not surrendering to Yantra is the goal. And logically this act cannot give you any results as well.
Tantra or Systems primarily come from Shaivites, Vaishnavites, and Shakta schools.
I fail to understand why this beautiful science is killed systematic in the last 100 years and we have moved into western systems of one God, many gods, mass prayer, mass meditation, mass service etc. These may be good political tools to unite the people and rule the nation but definitely not what our ancestors have given to us.
Political responses to public Namaz, Sunday masses can we Public Ramlila, Public Hanuman Chalisa etc. But this is not our original system, This is the response to political threats.
The most unfortunate part of this is, many who claim to know this science are either fraud or ill minded people. On top of that western-educated media reporters, editors, debaters, and commentators bring it further down.
In the public domain science means physical sciences but what about these sciences which has been part of culture and traditions?
Without all this what god or goddess we are praying and to whom we are fooling by following western traditions?
Are we trapped in politics? Are we trapped in race and competition with westerners? Have we become mindless who is not able to understand what is happening around us? Or we are so naive that anybody can fool us?
