Tantra
Teachings
Tantra in Mark Griffin’s teaching system is a path of transformation through which body, energy, mind, and consciousness are brought into a higher order of awakening. Drawing from both the Shaiva and Vajrayana worlds, Mark presents the Yoga Tantras as a living system in which the forces of Shakti and Shiva, form and emptiness, mantra and mind, all become direct means for spiritual recognition.
Within the Awakening Archives, the Tantra topic gathers teachings on the architecture of the human form as a spiritual instrument, the power of the Om Namah Shivaya mantra in activating this system, the use of the Shiva/Shakti polarity in deity yoga, and the role of sacred texts and ritual in aligning the practitioner with the spiritual world.
Tantra in the Archive
The Tantra topic includes both foundational and advanced teachings. Some explain the underlying principles of the Tantric path: the architecture of the human form, the relationship of Shiva and Shakti, the relationship between form and emptiness. Others move more directly into practice, showing how mantra, deity yoga, the recitation of spiritual texts, all become instruments of transformation.
