No matter how stupid a question might look, Mr Nandy makes the answer so worthwhile that the stupidity of the question at the first place fades away.

Remember Ranveer's line,... Rajarshi Nandy Sir, it's great to have you back again... The guy is a library of knowledge and knows how to what to communicate to the masses. 🙏🏻

Just the name of Sir Nandy is enough to like and subscribe a video. I am amazed at his profound knowledge of Tantra and his lucid explanation. Being a Bengali I feel like speaking to his Mom because Bengali moms usually do not allow their children to explore much besides going for a good salaried job. Kudos to Sir's family for allowing him to pursue his passion.

He's so lucid and clear. Love to listen to him. It's almost therapeutic ❤

Many speakers who speak on the Tantras have often made two distinctive arguments.One which says the Tantras are different from Veda vidya and are parallel science to the Vedas and some times have higher significance than the Veads.Another school of thought says that Tantras have many similarities with Vedas but,they are hierarchial in nature of divinity worship.But,reading deep into the Tantras may give different approach.Many scholars in Varanasi says they are nothing but the expanded Brahmana texts.Tantras specifically include those Devtas,Yagnas,Vedic Rishis etc.But,they delve deeply into One Devta Upasana.Taking closer look Tantras contain 50 to 80%of Vedic content depending upon the Tantras.If we compare Pure Sciences and Engineering,the Vedas are like Pure sciences and Tantras are like different branches of Engineering having their base in the pure sciences!!!
