A Global Community Hub for Students of the Tantrik Path

CONNECT

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.

Welcome.

As the only online school that focuses exclusively and
comprehensively on Classical Tantra, we hold a vision to
create a safe space and a powerful container for this
community that is accessible and impactful for every kula-
member. We want Tantrika Online to not only be a digital
home, but also a place that contributes to the holistic wellbeing
of the community – always growing and evolving organically
based on the active engagement of the community itself.
