27–31 May: Hungary, Full Moon Adhara Yoga Retreat

With Sundernāth & Emma

In the countryside just over one hour North East of Budapest lies the beautiful retreat space of Farkaskútvölgy.

Over four days and eight sessions leading up to and concluding on the Full Moon, we will investigate the 16 adharas (locations) taught by Guru Goraknāth.

This system utilises the waxing and waning energies of the moon as it moves through the lunar cycle. Each day the moon influences a different location within the physical body. All the constituent parts of the mind are drawn together at this centre rendering the body completely still and motionless and allowing the ‘Sahaja’, the natural spontaneous light of the inner energy of consciousness, to soar to the heights of equanimity of Dhyana (meditation).

This course is suitable for all yoga practitioners.

Meditations of the Thunder Dragon (Taranyali Dhyanam)

with Sundernath

Over the past twenty years, we have introduced and taught all the preparatory practices required to cultivate the subtle energy and initiate the gathering of vital power that leads to the spontaneous or natural state of Sahajavasta which is the highest peak of meditation.

These practices and technical tools were laid out in Sundernath’s book Taranyali Tridha Dhyanam in the chapters on Krantam and Kriya. In the last chapter, he introduces the principles and characteristics of the final phase to which they lead – the acquisition of Shambhavi Mudra. These properties can be summed up in the term prasādājñā which implies that this mudra has a double nature – Rudra Shakti, the command of authority for the removal of impurities and Kundalini Shakti, the command of grace. When these two energies are drawn together into a single point the portal of transmission is opened. In this explanation I gave enough for genuine seekers to gain some sense of the path ahead and the demands that it would make.

The time has come to teach those individuals who are suitably prepared and open, by practical steps and in a systematic manner, the complete process through to this final stage.

This will be undertaken in four stages as follows:

  1. The Sheathing of Thunder and Lightning
  2. Stabilising the Thunder and Lightning
  3. Opening the Sky and Flooding
  4. The Arousal of Hamsah – the Anahata Nad, (the unstruck sound of the heart).
    Shambhavi Mudra

Each stage will consist of three-weekend workshops, each weekend consisting of three sessions. Between these stages, the students will be given suitable time to practice and absorb what they have learned before proceeding further.
