The Tantrics were a discourse promising quick success, exactly what the world desires. As we shall see some rural based forms of Tantra were not preoccupied by the otherworldly goals. Their interest was of this world. They also wanted to manage ferocious deities, exorcise demons, heal the sick and tell the future. They even wanted immortality like the gods and to become the leaders of their local communities. Hence the Tantric discourse implied a significant increase in the power of holy men and their cultural fields. This is clearly seen within the guru institution.
