In this video, Śaivācārya Sthaneshwar Timalsina offers an introductory talk on Tantra to a young audience with no previous knowledge about it. He offers us a tour through the central categories of the tantric tradition, like mantras, maṇḍalas and deities. A topic that is also discussed is the relevance of Tantra regarding our contemporary understanding of the world, since it emphasizes the importance of recognising our innate freedom and the search for our essential nature.
