Tantra is a very advanced technology of consciousness development. This ancient, deep and highly potent method is considered the fastest Path to self-realization. It consists of mantras, yantras – geometric diagrams, Puja, Yagyas and mudras – specific finger positions. Of all the above, mantra is the most important.

Tantra, as a primordial practice, has always been preserved as secret knowledge that was transmitted orally, through initiations, from the Teacher to the disciple who would possess the necessary level of maturity and inner purity.

The first records of Tantra were created in the 8th century, in Kashmir, India. Along the way, several different traditions emerged, each with its own methods, which have been preserved to this day. Of all of them, Naga Sadhu is the oldest uninterrupted tradition of pure knowledge.

The word “Tantra” consists of two words, “tan” and “trayate”. “Tan” means development, liberation, while “trayate” means instrument, technology. Tantra is a technology for the development and liberation of human consciousness.

There are several different types of Tantra, the most potent of which is Shakti Tantra.

Tonči and Ana received the knowledge of Shakti Tantra, which consists of ten mantras and associated rituals. These mantras are called Siddha (spiritual achievement, perfection, illumination) mantras and represent the culmination of the knowledge of the Tradition.

Each mantra of Shakti Tantra possesses enormous energy potential and has its own unique effect on the mind, awakening its dormant abilities and on the manifest life of the meditator.

In order for Shakti to fully awaken and merge with pure consciousness within the crown chakra (see Shiva and Shakti), three Shakti Tantra mantras are needed. For Tonči and Ana, Babaji and the Tradition have chosen those that, in addition to leading to a state of inner freedom-Mukti, bring a complete and comprehensive development of consciousness. Their action also includes the awakening of Dharma (life in accordance with the soul’s purpose, morality, ethics..), Artha (material prosperity) and Kama (emotional fulfillment). Tonči will give initiations into these same mantras to all those who will go through the process of the Vedic mantras of the Tradition.

The sequence of initiations is precisely determined and has its own energetic wisdom. Before moving on to the next mantra, it is necessary, through regular meditation, to awaken the energy of the previous mantra in one’s own body.

All initiations into the Shakti Tantra mantras are given, as before, individually and in person with the ritual of Puja belonging to a particular mantra. The dynamics of initiations are again completely individual. It depends on the meditator’s dedication to the entire process, maturity and the amount of emotional-mental baggage that the mantras must clear.

The process described in this and in the Mantra diksha chapter represents the Mukti Path of the Tradition.
