Vishwamitra Sorcery(Philosophy) Explanation: Tantra (Sanskrit: तन्त्र; "weave" denoting continuity), [1] (anglicised tantricism or tantrism) or tantram (Sanskrit: तन्त्र) is a religious philosophy according to which Shakti is usually the main deity worshipped, and the universe is regarded as the divine play of Shakti and Shiva.[2] The word Tantra also applies to any of the scriptures (called "Tantras") commonly identified with the worship of Shakti.[2] Tantra deals primarily with spiritual practices and ritual forms of worship, which aim at liberation from ignorance and rebirth.[2] Tantrism has influenced the Hindu, Bön, Buddhist, and Jain religious traditions. Tantra in its various forms has existed in India, Nepal, China, Japan, Tibet, Korea, Cambodia, Burma, Indonesia and Mongolia.[3] Despite reluctance to support a rigorous definition of tantra, David Gordon White offers the following definition: -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2009-10-22 07:47:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Vishwamitra is a name and he was a sage. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2009-10-23 09:33:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It is suggested to transliterate the term 'Vishwamitra Tantra'.
