Tantra is a Sanskrit word which, among other things, applies to the philosophy defining the universe as the divine play of Shakti and Shiva. Everything in life is divided into 2 parts: Yin and Yang, Black and White and when these 2 unite there is a flow of energy. In the same way the universe is considered an amalgamation of the 2 opposites, Shiva and Shakti. According to Tantra one of the ways in which the energy flows is when the man and woman make love; Love making is a means to the divine transcendent state. This free flow of energy transcends the body and the senses to experience the divine. When the 2 coagulate it is like a doorway is opened for the energy to flow in. The free flow of energy through the body will enable a blissful state.
Men can practice Tantra to not only experience the divine but also make their partner experience this divine. Through Tantra men can learn to use the senses to experience life wonderfully and the collection of exercises enable men to better tune into the intimacy and sweetness of the experience. Men can practice Tantra exercises to enhance their ability to satisfy their partner, maintain their vigor, increase their power to procreate and balance different levels of sexual drive. Tantra brings out all these qualities without any artificial means or medicines. Men can tread the path to the divine through the prescribed exercises of Tantra.
