Tantrika Institute was born from an intention to make the key
teachings and practices from Classical Tantra widely available
to all who have the interest and disposition to engage in these
traditions. With passion and devotion, we have created a
never-before-seen platform for the earnest study of these
traditions to be immersed in online.
