Tantrism

Tantrism is a spiritual tradition originating in India that emphasizes the use of specific rituals, symbolic practices, and mantra repetition to achieve spiritual growth, insight, and liberation. It often involves esoteric techniques, visualizations, and the use of energy centers (chakras) to connect with divine power. Tantrism aims to integrate physical, mental, and spiritual elements, viewing the body and worldly experiences as pathways to enlightenment rather than obstacles. While sometimes misunderstood, it is a sophisticated system rooted in devotion, discipline, and the pursuit of balance between material and spiritual aspects of life.
