A "Tantrik" refers to a practitioner of Tantra, a spiritual tradition that originated in ancient India. Tantrik practices often involve rituals, meditation, and the use of mantras to achieve spiritual goals. These practitioners seek to harness and channel energy for personal transformation and enlightenment.
In Hinduism and Buddhism, Tantrik teachings emphasize the importance of the body and the material world in spiritual practice. Unlike some ascetic traditions that focus on renunciation, Tantrik approaches often celebrate the physical and sensual aspects of life as pathways to spiritual awakening.
