Explanation:

A follower can be initiated into tantrism with the help of a qualified Guru. Tantrism believes that mind and matter manifest a spiritual reality of a higher plane which is in fact our true nature. Thus spiritual reality is to be seen as part of the samsara or empirical reality. Tantrism reiterates the belief that it is possible to achieve enlightenment while present in the physical body. Man can achieve enlightenment by focusing on and kindling the kundalini-shakti or the spiritual power that usually lies dormant in man. Tantrism believes in rebirths which is determined by karma or one’s moral deeds and actions.The key principle of Tantrism is the belief that the universe is the concrete manifestation of a higher spiritual and divine energy which can be channeled within human consciousness by means of tantric rituals to attain freedom from ignorance. Tantrism is a positive doctrine envisioning reality as an outburst of Divine Consciousness. It is manifested in the divine powers of Shiva and Shakti. The popular yoga finds its roots in Tantric rituals and scriptures. The various practices of yoga including the asana, breath-regulation, meditation, mudras, the energy centres and channels of the body are important tenetsof Tantric Yoga.
