This course is your sadhana (spiritual practice), the beginning of your inner transformation, spiritual awakening and realization of the highest ideals in life. The techniques covered in this program have their basis in the ancient Vedic (tantric, Upanishadic and yogic) shastras and were handed down over the centuries from guru to disciple until they reached the His Holiness Swami Sivananda Saraswati of Rishikesh, who further passed them on to his disciples, such as Swami Satyananda of Munger. Swami Satyananda wrote the book, ‘A Systematic Course In The Ancient Tantric Techniques of Yoga and Kriya’, which serves as our text book for this course.
In Addition to using the above mentioned book as our guide we will be exploring many other quotes and articles from the other senior swamis of the Satyananda tradition, as well as exploring sacred texts such as Purusha Suktam, Sankhya Karikas, Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and more.
