    There are two main branches of Tantra - vama marga and dakshina marga. Vama marga, the left path, combines sexual practices with yoga to awaken dormant energy centers. Dakshina marga, the right path, focuses solely on yoga practices without sex. Previously, dakshina marga was more common due to barriers around sex, but vama marga utilizes sex for spiritual development. Tantric yogis practice sex for samadhi rather than procreation or pleasure. By mastering certain techniques, the experience of union can become continuous in daily life and awaken the silent centers of the brain.

    Tantra has two main branches, which are known as vama marga and dakshina marga.

    Vama
    marga is the left path which combines sexual life with yoga practices in order to explode the
    dormant energy centres. Dakshina marga is the right path of yoga practices without sexual
    enactment. Previously, due to the barriers in sexual life, the path most widely followed was
    dakshina marga. vama marga, which utilizes sexual life for spiritual development.
    sexual life has a threefold purpose. Some practise it for procreation, others for pleasure, but the
    tantric yogi practises it for samadhi. He does not hold any negative views about it. He does it as
    a part of his sadhana. But, at the same time, he realizes that for spiritual purposes, the
    experience must be maintained. Ordinarily this experience is lost before one is able to deepen it.
    By mastering certain techniques, however, this experience can become continuous even in daily
    life. Then the silent centres of the brain are awakened and start to function all the time.
    The energy principle
    The contention of vama marga is that the awakening of kundalini is possible through the
    interaction between man and woman. The concept behind this follows the same lines as the
    process of fission and fusion described in modern physics.
    Man and woman represent positive and negative energy. On a mental level they represent time
    and space. Ordinarily, these two forces stand at opposite poles. During sexual interaction,
    however, they move out of their position of polarity, towards the centre. When they come
    together at the nucleus or central point, an explosion occurs and matter becomes manifest. This
    is the basic theme of tantric initiation.
    The natural event that takes place between man and woman is considered as the explosion of
    the energy centre. In every speck of life, it is the union between the positive and negative poles
    that is responsible for creation. At the same time, union between positive and negative poles is
    also responsible for enlightenment, and the experience which takes place at the time of union is
    a glimpse of the higher experience.
