"Spiritual practice means practice for expansion, and this expansion is nothing but a liberation from the bondage of all sorts of staticity. A person, who, irrespective of caste, creed or religion,aspires for spiritual expansion or does something concrete, is a Tantric. Tantra in itself is neither a religion nor an ism. Tantra is the fundamental spiritual science."
- Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Tantra is the central plank of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti's civilizational discourse. In reimagining the future he weaves stories of continuity and discontinuity, infusing the ancient Indic philosophy of Tantra with new insights in social theory and individuals' roles as spiritual and political beings.

Being deeply rooted in the indigenous experience of reality Tantra has a broad metaphysical base which allows for ways of knowing, feeling and processing that go far beyond the limited rationality that informs the Western Enlightenment project. Priorities are different as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti notes because "spiritual life controls all other arenas of human life."
