The Yogic Way of Life and Sadhana

MY UPCOMING WEBINAR ARTICLE AND INFORMATION. FEB. 22, 2025

We hope we inspire you to nurture a Vedic lifestyle, creating all space around you as sacred. Vamadevaji and my lives reflects what we share with the world through our writings, teachings, and yoga shakti retreats. For this we have devised a series of webinars, talks and discussions as described below.

Previews to Our Upcoming Webinars

My experiential talks aim to inspire everyone to connect to the heartbeats of your inner nature, your sadhana, devotion, home, relationships, work and most importantly to the mysteries of the cosmic universe. We will be organizing retreats around these core concepts.

If you are searching for a deepening, unique and meaningful shift in your sadhana and your relationship with ‘Your-Self’ and others, creating a higher awareness of your inner light and a stronger state of emotional resilience, our talks “Yoga Beyond Body and Mind” are a guiding force.

The Vedic teachings guide us in transforming our inner and outer lives through the shakti energy in Tantra, Mantra Yoga, Jyotisha or Vedic Astrology and Ayurveda.

The Yogic perspective of Life is to cherish and nurture the Heart-Mind-Body-Spirit.

I have come to understand and learnt to live life fully, in the presence of each moment with trust, compassion, love, mysticism and intuitive guidance. 

When we weave our intentions into our sadhana as an ongoing sacred practice, we honor life as a ritual that nourishes and transforms us.

I learned to appreciate the simple art of being more sensitive, more aware in the use of my senses and my life unfolded spiritually in the temple of my body, weaving my energies with the cosmic universe and the entire world of nature. 

Spirituality is about transcending all concepts and beliefs and directly experiencing for oneself the ineffable Truth of reality.

A ‘Seeker’ must continue the quest for seeking, encouraging a deep questioning within the heart and the mind. Shakti sadhana and the Devi’s (Mother Goddess) grace guided me in finding my answers to most of my queries which helped me create an awareness that could never be taken away from me.

Sadhana must be cultivated as a way of life drawing our awareness into the presence of every experience through the day.

Rituals and sacred practices connect us to Mother Earth, Nature and the Five Great Elements. Each of the five elements has its unique Shakti that we must learn to work with at both outer and inner levels to bring harmony and transformation to our nature.

The Universe is sacred and auspicious, we must learn to recreate this sacredness in our personal lives and relationships. Rituals teach us to revere ourselves, our home, our workspaces, and relationships.

Bhakti and Shakti Yoga Draws the Wisdom from the Hridaya

Working with the Shakta principles, energies or forces requires a sadhana through which we learn to consecrate the Divine within ourselves as a celebration of the Mother Goddess, Her grace and Her wisdom. It is important to be aware of the Vedic and Tantric symbolism behind each of the Wisdom Goddesses, which includes their benevolent as well as Urga or fierce forms. Shakti is symbolised by Devi’s gestures, weapons, mantras, Yantra and sacred rituals.

Our thoughts are forces of powerful energy; we must use it to enhance ourselves at a deep core level. We cannot truly practice Yoga unless we view it as a devotional inner sacrifice or self-offering to the Divine. Otherwise the asana, pranayama, mantra and meditation we do remain limited to the ordinary human sphere.

True Yoga begins with selfless sacrifice as Karma Yoga, which is action done in recognition and honor of the sacred. The great powers or Devatas of Yoga are the powers of sacrifice. They function for the sanctification or making sacred of all things in life, from the flow of plasma in our nadis to the rivers and mountains, to our breath and thought.

Experiencing the sacred Prana, one finds a doorway to inner worlds that lie far beyond the whirlpools of the outer world of human strife and suffering.

It’s not mere pranic excercises, but the understanding of the deeper meaning of pranic energy in and around us, in Nature, the earth, the atmospheric clouds and animals.

Prana has its own ‘life-fire’ the key to our well-being and all healing on an energetic level. The life fire is a force of nature that can unfold all the healing energies of the Universe. Pranagni is the ‘fire of prana’ which is emphasized in Yoga or the union of the divine being. Life, our thoughts, actions and awareness must connect to the prana shakti in Nature as the flow of rivers, the steadfastness of mountains, the prana of sunset and sunrise.

To discover the sacred nature of reality, our lives must become an inner offering to the Divine, a yogic sacrifice. By honoring all things as sacred we can discover the sacred eternal presence that is Brahman, the Absolute beyond all time, space and action.

May we all experience the freedom of spirit to nurture our sacred space, harmonising with the Universe. Wishing You love, harmony and the flow of divine grace.
