| Summary: | Tantra is generally regarded as a system of black magic. It is the most neglected branch of Indian thought. Though tantra has 31 rich spiritual heritage and a sublime philosophy, the siidbana of paiicbamaledra (five M's)has given a good deal of misunder- standing about the tantric spirituality.

But for the initiated mantra and yantra become sources of mystic power capable of liberating one from the bondage of this world. |
