Spiritual Practices

"To make progress in spiritual practice it is necessary to act toward others with love and compassion"

- SWAMIJI

Prerequisites for Study

We provide authentic teachings and guidance for spiritual practice to sincere seekers from all backgrounds, regardless of caste, creed, nationality, race, or gender. To progress rapidly in the practice of Yoga, the Sages have recommended the preliminary practice of Yama (Restraints) and Niyama (Observances). Students should be familiar with and be practicing the Yama and Niyamas of Yoga.

If you are not familiar with the Yamas and Niyamas, you can click here to view classes led by Swamiji teaching the Yamas and Niyamas.

Giving for Teachings

We offer these teachings freely for the spiritual upliftment of all sincere seekers. It is traditional to never receive teachings or blessings from a guru without giving dakshinam (donation). To be able to receive, we must give. It is the duty of the students to see to it that the mission of the teacher is fulfilled. We ask those who are receiving these teachings and practicing with us to donate generously and regularly to help cover our costs so that we can keep these teachings free to all.
