Concepts of Hindu Tantra

Hello Everyone !!!

The 3 States of Spiritual Power :

1. During the universal annihilation when the Self is free from all vikalpas, the Shakti exists as Chit Prakriti,

2. When the vikalpas are on the point of merging, when though there is no vikalpa as such, there is yet a tendency in the direction of vikalpas, the Shakti is called Maya Shakti.

3. When the vikalpas are fully developed and materially becomes dense, the Shakti appears as Avidya.

The 3 Stages of Avidya

1. The germinal state :--
The 5 pure Tattvas are--
a) Siva
b) Sakti
c) Sadashiva
d) Suddha vidya
e) Isvara

2. The evolution of Avidya :--
In this mixed condition, both spirit and matter are equally pre-dominant and the 7 mixed Tattvas reveal themselves as--
a) Maya
b) Kala
c) Vidya
d) Raga
e) Kaal
f) Niyati
g) The Pure Self

The Pure Self--
It is obscured by Maya and its 5-fold activities appears as Purusha with its limitations of :--
#) Action
#) Knowledge
#) Contentment
#) Eternity
#) Freedom

3. The Gross State :--
It is represented by dense products of 24 Tattvas, where matter is overwhelmingly strong.

The 2-fold Conditions of Lust :

1. Avyakta :--
It lies non-manifested in dreamless sleep.

2. Chitta :--
It manifest itself in dreams and wake state.
