Mantra and Tantra - Sri Sarvari

Mantra works on the power of sound

Yoga works on the power of silence.

Both of them do not go together. Truly mantra doesn’t come under yoga. The practice of mantra needs rigorous discipline. Because of its strict adherence, it is categorized under yoga. Mantra and Tantra are twins. Both bless worldly rewards. Yoga is basically higher consciousness. It is Bliss Eternal. It is the heart and pulse of god. What we achieve by Mantra and Tantra cannot be compared to the higher consciousness that we gain by yoga. There is abundant selfishness in these twin arts. Where as yoga leads to real self.
