Yoga, Tantra,Hinduism and the world around you......

Yoga, Tantra and Hinduism are closely related. Basically yoga and Tantra are different side of same coin which were placed in the safe of Hinduism. If a man puts Euro, Dollar and Forint at the same time in his purse, it doesnt mean that these currencies will loose their Value, nature or will change according to the purse.

Yoga is a science that involves application of will. It is purely based on efforts through will power whereas Tantra is absolute method of surrendering the will. Tantra never applies will it just accepts. Hinduism is that sect which applies the mixed practice of both Yoga and Tantra in the form of Tantra Yoga, that includes Rituals, Chantings, Ceremonies and Practices. Hinduism never believes on extreme corner, it always ttried to stay at balance of two.

In India the most of Hindu ashrams are practicing the mix of Yoga and Tantra, unless they are not Purely Yoga or Tantric teaching based schools. Yoga is more introvert in its approach, applies the submission of desires through will, while Tantra is more extrovert believes in communication of micro and macro cosmos.

A balance of yoga and tantra is required as we are social animals and we need to communicate with material world, that includes family, relationship, work, ambition etc. Both of them are meant to know the innerself, so that actions would turn perfect. Yoga have been divided in many streams like Ashtanga(Raja) yoga, Karma yoga(Action based), Bhakti yoga (Devotion based) and Jnana Yoga(Knowledge based),personally I dont believe and feel any division among them.

In India Yoga is seen more as religion and a devotee of Krishna is fighting with a Devotee of Shiva and vice versa. They just want to place their God of Belief on top of other. Tantra believe in all. Krishna , Shiva and Budhha, they were tantra yogis. They have dictated the principles of both yoga and tantra.

Hinduism is an interseting sect not a religion, as it had no Father or founder, no one knows from where it comes, none of the books have mentioned any other religion, no commandments, no contradictions, no conflict of philosophies with others, being asectic or athiest doesnt make a difference. Being older sect might be a cause, but the real essence lies on the principle that takes what serves you best both physically and spiritually. The world believes that Hindus refer cows as holy, they dont eat beef, but its not true as a whole, in the north it is a norm not to kill the cow, but in southern Indian Hindus even eat Beef.

Yoga and Tantra are meant to be in harmony with the world around you. Efforts are made from bothe side within yoga and the world.  To renounce is never a part of them, even of Hinduism. It is just to play and action with perfection with a sense of non action.
