Yoga sadhana and Tantra sadhana are both intertwined. Yoga
is merging of our self into the supreme self and the paths are different like
bhakti yoga, kriya yoga, kundalini yoga etc. Tantra understands the matrix of
energies, which constitute the universe, take the help of those energies and
become master of the universe.
Yoga: Yoga deals more with the clearing and stabilizing of
the mind. This is done through different methods of meditations. Through
different paths mind is purified. This helps in reducing many kleshas likes
ignorance, ego, fears, attachments etc. It helps the seeker to systematically cultivate
the power of concentration and move inwards in the process of meditation &
deep absorption. Yoga helps the seeker to distinguish between the “Purusha”,
the consciousness and “Prakriti”, the matter. This way the seeker gets to know
the pure consciousness on one’s own being.
Tantra: Tantra deals with the energy system of our being,
emphasizing with the creative aspect of our consciousness, the Shakti. It deals
with balancing the internal energies of our chakras and also the flow in ida
and pingala. This helps in opening the sushumna and also awakening the
kundalini. The three cities of consciousness, of awakening, dreaming and deep
sleep, is called Tripura. Tantra sadhana deals with deep replection and
meditation on this Tripura while seeking to know the Shiva and Shakti, the
latent and active aspect of manifestation.
