| Tantra is a form of Yoga, Hinduism and Buddhism and as well as other Asian belief and/or practice systems. There are meditation and yogic practices as well as devotional and other practices included in Tantra.
"Tantra in Practice" by David Gordon White (Princeton University Press) is a good book on the subject. He states:
"Tantra is that Asian body of beliefs and practices which, working from the principle that the universe we experience is nothing other than the concrete manifestation of the divine energy of the Godhead that creates and maintains that universe, seeks to ritually appropriate and channel that energy, within the human microcosm, in creative and emancipatory ways".
