Tantra & Mantra

Tantra means a method to perform worship in a systemized way. Mantra is a set of particular words in a particular configuration and rhythm by chanting which one can fulfill one's wish. When a Mantra is chanted according to the proper Tantra, the sound vibrations gather force from the Yantra and after reflecting from its surface spread out into the universe and reach the concerned God. These vibrations come into contact with the form of the God, gather divine powers and blessings from Him and return to the Sadhak (person chanting), thus instilling divinity into him and giving him power to achieve supernatural feats. Thus, to achieve totality of life ingredients Mantra, Tantra and Yantra are essential because all three are supplements of each other.

Yantra

Yantra is a geometric figure inscribed on a metallic plate or paper and is the confluence of the powers of the concerned God. Nothing is further from the truth. Such people are imposters, they are not Tantriks. Tantra actually means accomplishing Mantra Sadhana in a very systemized way. If there is a Mantra then the process of its use is Tantra. Tantra is the way to perform a Sadhana (meditation) in a proper and correct manner. The method or way to achieve totality in Sadhana is Tantra.
