Tantra is not just sex: Hindus

Hindus in the US are upset with tantra sex being popularised by certain 'tantrics'

Tantra is reportedly becoming quite popular in North America and Europe and Hindus are strongly critical of such self-styled tantrics who apparently think and describe of Tantra as just sex.

Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed,in a statement in Nevada (USA) today,said that Tantrism was a major channel in Indian religious traditions and besides Hinduism,it also exerted considerable influence on Buddhism and Jainism. Sankaracharya had mentioned the names of 64 Tantras.

Rajan Zed,who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism,pointed out that Tantra,a method of spiritual self-culture,was divine revelation whose history went back to fourth century.

Tantra was a conscious approach to self-discovery which directed the seeker to prepare mind and body to the level where it could withstand any turbulence,both inner as well as outer.

Tantras noted three unique states of sadhana (spiritual endeavor)purification,illumination,and unification.
