A ganacakra (Sanskrit: गणचक्र gaṇacakra "gathering circle"; Tibetan: ཚོགས་ཀྱི་འཁོར་ལོ།, Wylie: tshogs kyi 'khor lo) is also known as tsok, ganapuja, cakrapuja or ganacakrapuja. It is a generic term for various tantric assemblies or feasts, in which practitioners meet to chant mantra, enact mudra, make votive offerings and practice various tantric rituals as part of a sādhanā, or spiritual practice. The ganachakra often comprises a sacramental meal and festivities such as dancing, spirit possession, and trance; the feast generally consisting of materials that were considered forbidden or taboo in medieval India like meat, fish, and wine. As a tantric practice, forms of gaṇacakra are practiced today in Hinduism, Bön and Vajrayāna Buddhism.

  • Ganachakra (en sánscrito, गणचक्र, "círculo de reunión") o tsog (lo mismo en tibetano) es una ceremonia tántrica o esotérica, de tintes orgiásticos, originada en el hinduismo y el budismo vajrayana. Sus participantes se reúnen para cantar mantras, realizar mudras, hacer ofrendas votivas y compartir prácticas comúnmente prohibidas o desaconsejadas: comer carne, consumir alcohol, cohabitar con personas de castas diferentes y tener sexo tántrico, todo ello enmarcado dentro de una espiritualidad antinomiana particular. También recibe los nombres de ganapuja, cakrapuja or ganacakrapuja, y aún se realiza en ciertas ramas vajrayana, hindúes y del bön tibetano. (es)
