Introduction to TANTRA



1. Introduction of TANTRA
1.1. World view of the TANTRA
The Place that God and Human being live together; TANTRA

Starting from the very first Creator Bramanasbati, the Creator Brahma, the God of maintenance Vishnu, and the God of destruction Siva preserved the balance of the world of TANTRA, but according to the power of Mara, a continent goes to rack and ruin and the age of disorder has arrived in the world of TANTRA without God.
After all that in the world of TANTRA, starting with a central plateau, each tribe lived with their own life style in each area that was surrounded by eight zones according to natural environment. After a fierce battle between the God of Past and Mara, in a central plateau in ruins, there is a collapsed Shamballa castle, a general conference which was built for unison of disorganized eight tribes, the belief of Tri-murti ;Sporabada, eight capitals of a kingdom for the heroes who were gone in the legend, vestiges of a military escort of Gods of TANTRA and all that sort of things left.
In order to raise Tri-murti from the dead, now eight tribes who are descended from the God; the Creator Brahma, the God of maintenance Vishnu, and the God of destruction Siva start an adventure from a central plateau in ruins. They have to save TANTRA through revealing a covered secret from a man who knows the legend of God who exists in several places of a continent.

1.2. Background Story
1.2.1. Overview
Centering around the Mandala Highland south of a continent, eight areas that eight tribes living are of wide distribution. Among the areas of each tribe, known as the Gods’ chosen the four Holy Land exists.
There is banana belt that Deva tribe inhabits at continental east end. And there’s a subtropical region that Garuda tribe inhabits the south. Naga tribe is located in Archipelago area on ocean that is protecting continental southern end.

At the south of the vast continent that is facing a Mandala highland of the southern end of the continent, there is a tropical rain forest area that RAKSHASA tribe inhabits. There is large desert area that Kimnara tribe inhabits at continental west end. In northwest of Mandala highland and northeast of a desert area, the wilderness area is located that Asura tribe lives in. A place of residence of Gandharva tribe is in high mountain area north of Mandala highland, and Yaksa tribe lives in the vast prairies where is in the east of Gandharba tribe lives.

People named the four holy places where are located in the four cardinal points; north, east, south, and west of Mandala highland as Jaganath (east), Rame Swaram (south), Varanasi (west), and Dwarka (north). However, it is not spread widely that what kind of meaning this chosen land includes and what exists in this holy land.

1.2.2 MANDALA Highland

MANDALA Highland is located in the center of TANTRA world. It widely spreads out towards the gate of Shamballa. It has been known that this land was created by the granite plate upheaval and eventually formed through an age of weathering and erosion

This highland is almost slightly covered with soil on the surface of hard granite plate, for the fierce wind blows from the highlands, we can usually see the shrubs, however, some areas that formed more strongly effected through an age of weathering and erosion, wood is growing standing still stably rooting down through a crevice that is taller than the others.
This is the first land that gods have settled for themselves and the human beings were created, sharing lands between gods and human beings for a long time.

It is known that there is SHAMBALLA castle exist beyond the gate of SHAMBALLA , where Tri-murti , Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva, live together keeping the balance of power among them. The southern area of the Shambala gate, recline upon the vast mountains, is near from the equation. But since it is located in Highland, the average temperature is lower and has delightful waether conditions. So it did not bother the people.

The humanbeings were settled each ot eight different places

At the end of long march, mandkinds founds the new lands and settled down eight places, low level gods, served Tri-murti like a tool, and had taken care of the highland for hundreds uga period, According to folklore, the gods and the humans lived in the Mandala Highlands under the guidance of Tri-murti until the humans learned free will, just as Tri-murti intended from the very beginning, and left on a journey to find their own livelihood. After the humans settled in the eight areas, the lower gods, who acted as hands and feet of the Tri-murti, protected the Mandala Highlands. However, Mara invaded the highlands and the gods were defeated. Afterwards, some humans attacked and defeated Mara’s forces and settled in the highlands. However, just as the humans constructed a new city named “Mandala Fabar” and finding peace, Mara’s followers reappeared along with “Mara’s Blood.” They took many lives, and demolished Mandala Fabar. The survivors fled south and constructed a new town, but it was nothing like Mandala Fabar and the god’s old city. People called the little fortress “Mandala Town” and dreamed of returning to the peaceful Mandala Highlands of the time before Kali Yuga. However, everywhere except Mandala Town was already shadowed by Mara’s powers.

1.3. The History of TANTRA
1.3.1. Haima Uga (The Golden Age)

People designate peaceful coexistence period, among gods and human beings, as Hima Uga , the golden age .

In Haima Uga,Tri-murti has balanced of power staying in Shambala castle. Other gods and mankinds were having a sure means of livelihood, centering around the Mandala Highland.

Spiritually or physically in flesh and blood the humans were never caught up the gods , however , they put the value of life and so that ability of developing self- reasoning got breast of gods then they scattered to continents for finding a place to live for their own way. .

After all, the human beings, the adventurers who helped from gods, settled down to each of eight different areas from others managing uncultured power of nature
After they occupied a lot of their own, man-kinds keep in touch with gods in the Mandala Highlands though the priest
As it had created from the first agenda of Tri-murty, the utopia has been making by both of helping each other efforts confirming self-consciousness

1.1.1. The Ruin of Tri-murti
The peaceful and stable world of TANTRA began at a totally unexpected place. Humans, the weakest of all creations, didn’t start it. It wasn’t even the lower gods. It started between the Tri-murti who was in charge of keeping the world’s balance. The only fact that people knew for sure was that Shiva cut the head off of Brahma. Everybody has different beliefs about when or why Shiva cut the head off of Brahma, and no one knows whose beliefs are true. The decapitated Brahma lost his powers, Shiva and Vishnu disappeared, and the balance of TANTRA was broken. After the humans left Mandala Highlands, lower gods hurried towards the Shamballa Gate in order to find out the truth about the Tri-murti and to restore the balance of TANTRA. However, they couldn’t find the entrance to the Shamballa Castle because of a mysterious seal, and they couldn’t have expected the dark shadow drawing over them.

1.1.2. Mara’s Invasion
As soon as the TANTRA’s balance, which was maintained by the Tri-murti, crumbled and Shamballa’s Gate sealed, Mara’s forces invaded TANTRA. The lower gods and the humans did not know of Mara before this. Mara brought countless number of soldiers to attack Mandala Highlands. The lower gods gathered at the Shamballa Gate and the god’s army that was guarding the Mandala Highlands was defeated by the Mara’s army.
Gods retreated, not knowing who the Maras were or why they invaded TANTRA. They used the last of their power to notify the humans of Mara’s invasion, but nobody expected humans to be able to stop Mara’s forces.

1.1.3. The Battle Among Eight Kings
The chaos began with the Tri-murti who were the creators, but it was ended by the weakest creatures, humans.
After the god’s army at Mandala Heights was defeated it wasn’t looking good for the world of TANTRA. At that time, humans spread throughout the eight areas gathered their army and blocked Mara’s army.

The heroes of eight races who decided the battle between Mara and the humans gave up their own life to seal the source of Mara’s power.

1.1.4. Omen of Darkness
In the new town called Mandala Fabar, the descendents of the eight races who went to the highlands seven yugas ago settled. They seemed to be leading a peaceful life.

However, the Tri-murti’s power was gone, and all the lower gods could do was to teach folklore and keep historical records. The people of TANTRA started religious movement to follow just one of the Tri-murti.

When it was known that Shiva killed Brahma in the battle of the kings, people started questioning who was good and who was evil, and why such an event took place. Nobody could disprove the other faith, so three faiths each believing one of the Tri-murti went their own way.

While they were fighting about their beliefs, unknown evil sprouted from deep inside the earth, and there were reports of Mara sightings. This caused uneasiness amongst the people.

Even as the people scurried to protect the town of Mandala, there were signs of the coming darkness in the Mandala Highlands.
