Tantra Yoga is an ancient spiritual path that teaches how to use the body, mind, and energy to reach higher consciousness. people wrongly believe. It is about understanding and transforming our inner energy. Tantra follows five elements space, air, fire, water and earth. Five aspects of hatha, ashtanga, mantra, laya and kundalini yoga forms tantra yoga. So, we can say that it’s a combination of all five yoga where one is grounded from hatha and moves to mind i.e. followed by ashtanga and infused with mantra then laya and kundalini. It is deeply connected to Guru Gorakhnath, a great yogi and spiritual master who is also the founder of Hatha Yoga. He is respected as a Mahayogi and a Tantra master by many traditions in Hinduism and Buddhism.

In Nepal, especially among the Nath yogis and Tantric practitioners, Guru Gorakhnath is seen as a powerful teacher who brought deep spiritual wisdom. He taught that divine energy (Shakti) lives within each person, and through the right practices, this energy can be awakened and guided toward freedom and enlightenment.

Tantra Yoga does not mean magic or rituals as many  It includes meditation, mantras, breathing techniques, and sometimes sacred rituals, all done with deep awareness and purpose. The goal is to unite the body, mind, and spirit, and to realize the divine within.

In Tantra, the human body is seen as a temple, and every part of life is considered sacred. There is no rejection of the world rather, it teaches how to live in the world with awareness and spiritual understanding.

Guru Gorakhnath showed that both Hatha Yoga and Tantra Yoga are not separate, they are paths of inner transformation. Both help to awaken the Kundalini energy, and both guide us to a state of balance, peace, and union with the Divine.

In Nepal, this deep tradition still lives on, especially in places connected to Gorakhnath and the Gorkha region, reminding us of our rich spiritual roots and the power of inner awakening.
