Basically four types of Sadhana can be considered – Tantra Sadhana, Mantra Sadhana, Yantra Sadhana and Yoga Sadhana. There are many sub-types of all four types of sadhana. 

The question is, what is Tantra Sadhana?

On hearing the name of Tantra Vidya, Sadhana or Tantra Shastra, fear spreads among the people. It is believed that this would be some terrible knowledge or practice of Aghoris. but it’s not like that.

These 10 practices,

Aghor Sadhana is different and Tantra Sadhana is different. Tantra has been placed first in Tantra, Mantra and Yantra. Tantra is a mysterious science. Along with Hindu religion, this knowledge is also prevalent in Buddhism and Jainism. Let us know the 10 secrets of Tantra Vidya…

1. Body is important in Tantra: In simple sense, Tantra means body, Mantra means mind and Yantra means any machine or object. Another meaning of Tantra is system. Tantra believes that we are in the body as a reality. The physical body is the center of all our actions. Therefore, it is very important to keep this body satisfied and healthy in every way. It is important to increase the capacity of this body. Spirituality can be achieved only through this body. Yoga also says the same.

Tantra has no connection with meat, alcohol and sexual intercourse, a person who is involved in such grave acts can never become a Tantrik. It is people like this who have brought the system into disrepute. The basic objective of Tantric practice is to attain Siddhi. For this, spiritual practices are done in an introverted manner.

2. Texts of Tantra: Tantra is basically seen to be associated with Shaiva Agama scriptures, but its origin is found in Atharva Veda. Tantra Shastra is divided into 3 parts, Agama Tantra, Yamal Tantra and Mukhya Tantra. Shaivagam, Rudragam and Bhairavagam are prominent among the Agamas.

According to Varahitantra, the one which describes the destruction of the universe, worship of Gods, means of good deeds, Purashcharan, Shatkarmasadhan and four types of Dhyanayoga is called ‘Aagam’. It is called ‘Yamal’ which describes the Srushtitatva (principles of creation), Jotishya (Astrology), Nityakrutya (daily activities ), Krama (order), Sutras, Varnbhed and Yugdharma. Similarly, the one which describes the Srushti (creation), Lay (rhythm), mantra, Nirnay, Tirth, Ashramadharma, Kalpa, Jyotishsansthan (Astrological Institute), Vrat Katha, Shauchha-Ashauchcha, Stree-Purush lakshn, Rajdharma, Dandharma, Yugadharma, vyavhar (behavior) and Adyatmik Niyam (spiritual rules) is called ‘Mukhya Tantra’.

According to Varahi Tantra, out of nine lakh verses of the tantra, one lakh verses are in India. Tantra literature has become a victim of destruction and neglect due to forgetfulness. Now many texts of Tantra Shastra have been lost. According to the information received at present, there are 199 Tantra texts. Tantra spread very effectively in countries like India, China, Tibet, Thailand, Mongolia, Kamboj etc. from BC to thirteenth century. Tantra is called Rigyud in Tibetan language. The entire Rigyuda is in 78 parts which contain 2640 independent texts. Many of these texts are translations of Indian tantra texts and many were written by Tibetan Tapasvi (ascetics).

3. Mysterious knowledge: There are many knowledge in Tantra and one of them is Guhya Vidya. Guhya means secret. Through Tantra Vidya, a person can develop his self-power and become endowed with many types of powers. This is the purpose of the system. Similarly, hypnosis, trataka, trikaal, indrajal, para, apara and prana vidya were born from tantra. Vashikaran, Mohan, Vidveshan, Uchchatan and Stambhan activities are also done with the help of Tantra.

Similarly, many tasks like turning a human being into an animal, disappearing, taking on 5 forms at once, crossing the ocean, lifting huge mountains, seeing and talking to a person who is millions of miles away, all these are the activities of Tantra. It is possible only because of this. The mantras and worship of Tantra Shastra are of different types.

This Tantric part of science is called ‘Savitri Vigyan’, Tantra-Sadhana, Vammarg etc. Among the five types of sadhana mentioned in Tantra Shastra, Mudra Sadhana is of great importance and best.
