TANTRA-தந்திரம்(((ௐ)))&[#] -}>--->* MANTRA & YANTRA -}>---> TANTRA மந்திரம்&யந்திரம் -}>---> தந்திரம் ----------------------------------------------- Tantra is the culmination of all Indian thought & a radical, transgressive path of spirituality. An ideal path to the sacred for the modern era. The first Western scholar to seriously study Tantra was John Woodroffe (1865–1936), who wrote about Tantra under the pen name Arthur Avalon and is known as the founding father of Tantric studies. Unlike previous Western scholars Woodroffe advocated for Tantra, defending and presenting it as an ethical and philosophical system in accord with the Vedas and Vedanta. Woodroffe practised Tantra and, while trying to maintain scholastic objectivity, was a student of Hindu Tantra (the Shiva-Shakta tradition) ! Following Woodroffe a number of scholars began investigating Tantric teachings, including scholars of comparative religion and Indology. Mantra + Yantra is TANTRA. In some disciplines of Tantra it is said that a focused, controlled gaze upon a particular Yantra may lead to LIBERATION. ----------------------------------------------- TANTRA-SASTRA * தந்திர சாஸ்திரம் ----------------------------------------------- According to the derivation of Tantra from Tan, to spread, Tantra is that (Scripture) by which knowledge (Jñana) is spread (Tanyate, vistaryate jñanam anena, iti Tantram). The Suffix Tra is from the root to save. That knowledge is spread which saves. What is that but religious knowledge? Therefore, as here and generally used, Tantra means a particular kind of religious scripture. The Kamika Agama of the Shaiva Siddhanta (Tantrantara Patala) says: Tanoti vipulan arthan tattvamantra-samanvitan Trananca kurute yasmat tantram ityabhidhyate. (It is called Tantra because it promulgates great knowledge concerning Tattva and Mantra and because it saves.) --------------------------- Mahanirvana Tantra : --------------------------- மஹாநிர்வாணதந்திரம்(Mahānirvāṇatantraṃ) மோக்ஷ தந்திரம்(The Tantra of the Great Liberation) Woodroffe translated the Mahānirvāṇatantraṃ from the original Sanskrit into English under his nom-de-plume of Arthur Avalon: a play on the magical realm of Avalon and the young later-to-be, King Arthur, within the story-cycle of tales known generally as King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table; specifically according to Taylor (2001: p. 148), Woodroffe chose the name from the noted incomplete magnum opus, the painting Arthurs Sleep in Avalon by Burne-Jones.[5] Moreover, Taylor (2001: p. 148) conveys the salience of this magical literary identity and contextualises by making reference to western esotericism, Holy grail, quest, occult secrets, initiations and the Theosophists: -------------------------------------------- Further following informations aswell ! மேலும் கீழ்க்கண்ட தகவல்களும் -------------------------------------------- TANTRA & YOGINI TEMPLES தந்திர யோகினி கோயில்கள் Indian Tantra & Yogini Temples* இந்திய தந்திர யோகினி கோயில்கள் -------------------------------------------- SIXTY FOUR YOGINIS (64) TEMPLE located at HIRAPUR, ODISHA .INDIA . அறுபத்து நான்கு யோகினிகள் (64) கோவில். ஹிராபூர்,ஒடிஷா. -------------------------------------------- KUNDALINI SAKTHI(ஓ) குண்டலினி சக்தி -------------------------------------------- From UNCONSCIOUS state; Via CONSCIOUS State, Reaching SUPER CONSCIOUS State ! மயக்க நிலையிலிருந்து; விழிப்பு நிலை வழியாக, சமாதி நிலை அடைதல். -------------------------------------------- Group Manager/Owner : TANTRA-தந்திரம் Dr.G.Nandakumar-கோ.நந்தகுமார்.
