Sahaja (Prakrit languages: সহজ Sanskrit: सहज sahaja) is spontaneous liberating knowledge in Indian Tantric and Tibetan Buddhist religions.[1] Sahaja practices first arose in Bengal during the 8th century among yogis called Sahajiya siddhas.
Ananda Coomaraswamy describes its significance as "the last achievement of all thought", and "a recognition of the identity of spirit and matter, subject and object", continuing "There is then no sacred or profane, spiritual or sensual, but everything that lives is pure and void."[2]
