Tantric spirituality
Arguably the oldest spiritual practice, Tantra is a highly developed science that transforms all aspects of the mind, body, and spirit. For centuries it has been tested and refined by many great spiritual men and women, and only through its tremendous success has it been able to survive thousands of years of civilization. With such distinguishing characteristics, the Tantric Science is a sure path towards rapid spiritual growth.
Although many people tend to associate Tantra with either Buddhism or Yoga, in many ways it stands apart as its own field of spiritual science. Tantra is a perfect fit for modern-day lifestyles because it does not require a significant alteration of the external environment. Rather, it works from the inside out, transforming the inner life and cultivating the power of awareness, concentration, and identification with the divine. Let the outward world be as it may, let the inner life be free and in harmony. With tantra, people can still retains their corporate jobs and live with their family. What changes is the amount of bliss and happiness that is constantly manifesting within their spirits and minds. In Tantra we are more concerned about how you think then where your house is built and who lives inside it.
Tantric practices are open to everyone. A sanyassi can benefit just as much from the practices as a common householder, and both can realize divinity to its fullest. Tantra even makes claim to the fact that people of uneven pasts will benefit all the more from tantra’s esoteric techniques because they have undergone every possible variety of experiences that life has to offer.
The Tureya Institute offers course in tantra which will guide students of contemporary lifestyles towards their true divine nature. The courses offered at the Ashram will take an in depth look at the philosophical content of Tantra and also offer students the chance to learn the advanced techniques and practices from the wisdom of ancient India.
While Tantra has remained a cultural taboo throughout history, it still remains one of the most effective tools for self-realization. Beside some of the more well know tantric practices, there are also a wide variety of Kriyas, Asanas, Pranayamas, Meditations, and other techniques which fall under the science of Tantra, each as powerful of a tool as its companions. At the Tureya Ashram and Institute we set aside the social dogmas of tantra and explore the real science of spirituality that has existed for several thousand years. Originating from Southern India, Tantra is a wonderfully potent path for spiritual wisdom and knowledge and can easily carry a soul towards self-realization and divintiy. Hari Om Siva and Shakti!
