tantras
Tantras ("''Looms''" or "''Weavings''") refers to numerous and varied scriptures pertaining to any of several esoteric traditions rooted in Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. The religious culture of the Tantras is essentially Hindu, and Buddhist Tantric material can be shown to have been derived from Hindu sources.〔Flood, Gavin. D. 1996. An Introduction to Hinduism. P. 158〕 And although Hindu and Buddhist Tantra have many similarities from the outside, they do have some clear distinctions. The rest of this article deals with Hindu Tantra. Buddhist Tantra is described in the article on Vajrayana.
==Classes of Hindu Tantra==
The word ''tantra'' is made up by the joining (''sandhi'' in Sanskrit) of two Sanskrit words: ''tanoti'' (expansion) and ''rayati'' (liberation). Tantra means liberation of energy and expansion of consciousness from its gross form. It is a method to expand the mind and liberate the dormant potential energy, and its principles form the basis of all yogic practices. Hence, the Hindu Tantra scriptures refer to techniques for achieving a result.
The Hindu Tantras total ninety-two scriptures; of these, sixty-four〔http://www.64tantras.com/64thantra.php〕 are purely ''Abheda'' (literally "without differentiation", or monistic), known as the Bhairava Tantras or Kashmir Śaivite Tantras, eighteen are ''Bhedābheda'' (literally "with differentiation and without differentiation" monistic or dualistic), known as the Rudra Tantras), and ten are completely ''Bheda'' (literally "differentiated" or dualistic), known as the Tantras. The latter two (''Rudra'' Tantras and ' Tantras) are used by the Śaiva Siddhāntins, and thus are sometimes referred to as Shaiva Siddhanta Tantras, or Śaiva Siddhānta ''Āgamas''.
''Tantra'' is exploring and identifying the hidden part in human personality—the feminine qualities in men and masculine qualities in women, for example—and helps to maintain the balance: helps humans to grow in spirituality and cosmic connection (See Bairavas 64, yoginis 64, Tantras 64, dancing gestures in Bharatha Natyam 64karanas and Tatvas in our human body are 64, DNA molecules.〔http://www.64tantras.com/index.php〕)
