Abstract

TANTRA is one of the ancient cults that has influenced Indian religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Feminine aspect is one of the most important characteristics of Tantrism which, for example, is presented in the goddess SAKTI and her manifestations such as KALI. In this respect one can allude to feminine aspects in Tantric doctrines about cosmology, theology and anthropology (mystic body and the subjects related to it, such as CAKRA and KUNDALINI) and Tantric rituals such as sexual intercourse (Maithuna) and sacrifice (Yajna) which have been explained in some scriptures like TANTRAs and KAMASUTRA. Lack of academic studies on doctrines of TANTRA and the role of feminine aspects in this cult, on the one hand, and enthusiasm of learning about mystical and esoteric doctrines of Tantrism which could lead to misunderstanding, on the other, can explain the necessity of studying Tantrism. Therefore, this article tries to survey the doctrines of Tantrism and the role of feminine aspects in this cult.
