Explanation:

Tantricism bases itself upon mystic speculations concerning divine creative energy (shakti). It laid great stress on magic rituals.
Tantricism did not intend to satisfy the spiritualistic and divine desires but the materialistic desires of devotees for physical posessions and day-to-day cure for injurues and diseases.
It arose as a result of large scale admission of aboriginal peoples in brahmanical society. It did not believe in any caste or gender bias and admitted both women and shudras in its ranks. It put emphasis on ?female‘ as a source of power and energy.
