Tantra means "woven together" or "two fullnesses as one". It means the same as yoga really, with some intimacy added. Tantra recognizes from the start that there are two poles to be ecstatically merged for enlightenment to occur – father heaven and mother earth, masculine and feminine energies, Shiva and Shakti, yin and yang – and that these two poles are contained in us.
