Is Tantrism the darker shade of Hinduism?
There are some ancient Hindu
texts, which emphasize the exaltation of the physical self, more than anything
else known as tantra. There are many disputes about its origins for thousands
of years now. The reason for establishment of tantra was to help humans quickly
resolve their problems. However, it has been misused by some for various other
purposes and gaining mystical powers. Historically it can be dated about the
time of the rise of Buddhism. Later on, Buddhists adopted some of the Tantric
symbols and Tantric Buddhism grown as a sect. Today, tantra survives mostly in
the far northeast, amid the jungles and foothills of the Himalayas.
