How was the name Tantrajána created?
Tantrajána, as a term, is used to refer to various esoteric and spiritual teachings and practices originating in India. Tantric traditions focus on the development of spiritual awareness and the attainment of enlightenment, often through practices that involve meditation, rituals, mantras, visualizations, and physical exercises. Tantric philosophy emphasizes the connection between the divine and the human and frequently delves into subjects such as energy, sexuality, and overall harmony.
In the context of Indian philosophy and religion, the term "jána" signifies spiritual wisdom, knowledge, or realization. Jána is a part of the path to spiritual enlightenment and is often mentioned in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Indian traditions.
Additionally, my name is Jana, and abroad my name is often pronounced with a long "a," like "Jána." As a playful response, my Czech friends started calling me "Jána." Therefore, Tantrajána gains an additional layer of meaning, which could be translated as "The Tantric Path According to Jána."
