Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA parallel is drawn between the union of Śiva and Śakti in Tantric practice and quantum entanglement, where both challenge reductionist views of reality. In Tantra, this union represents the experiential realization of non-dual consciousness, dissolving the separation between observer and observed. Quantum physics reveals non-local correlations between entangled particles that transcend classical spatial limits. The paper argues that tantric metaphysics offers an experiential model of interconnectedness, while quantum theory provides a scientific articulation of the same principle, contributing to dialogues on consciousness and holistic understanding of the universe.

Abstract
This study presents a concise comparative analysis of entanglement in Tantra Sādhana and Quantum Physics, focusing on the union of Śiva–Śakti and the principle of quantum non-locality. In Tantra, the Śiva–Śakti union signifies the experiential realization of non-dual consciousness, where separation between observer and observed dissolves. Quantum physics similarly reveals non-local correlations between entangled particles that transcend classical spatial limitations. By examining conceptual parallels without conflating domains, the paper highlights how both systems challenge reductionist views of reality. The study proposes that tantric metaphysics offers an experiential model of interconnectedness, while quantum theory provides its scientific articulation. This interdisciplinary approach contributes to contemporary dialogues on consciousness, reality, and holistic understanding of the universe.
