Tantrism, also known as Tantra, refers to a range of religious traditions, theories, rituals, and practices originating in ancient India that aim to transform the individual’s mundane existence into a spiritually enlightened state. It primarily focuses on the use of rituals, meditation, yoga, and other practices to achieve spiritual growth, unity with the divine, and the realization of one's own divine nature. It's seen in many Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Tantrism often involves elements like mantra (sacred syllables), yantra (sacred diagrams), and rituals which aim at spiritual advancement and the acquisition of supernatural powers.
