Dear Gurudev, please can I do tantra sadhana. Do you mind it? I am doing one of the Dus mahavidya sadhanas.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

See, I tell you, there are not many people who know the ten mahavidyas. So you don’t need to do any of those. You simply relax and listen to some chanting. The Art of Living has released so many chants, and they are all a part of that only.
The sahaj mantras that are given to you are a beej (seed) mantras, they are all great.

Somebody may say they will give you the knowledge of the ten mahavidyas, but it is too complicated. I would say, you just honor them from a distance. For your practice, whatever has been given to you is great. If you feel like, you can join the Vedic programs that happen at our centers. In 40 days and you will understand more about these things. If you come to India, we also do the upanayanam (thread ceremony) and you can learn the mantras then.
There are so many people who say, 'I will give you this knowledge, that knowledge', but it will only become a messy confusion.
