Who
seeks Self-Realization?
We
say "I
am a man or woman, I
am a daughter, son, father, mother, sister or brother, I
am from this or that country, I
am the doer of this or that action, I
am good or bad, I
am happy or sad, I
am a seeker, I
am spiritual, I
am a lover of God."
We speak of "my
home, my
family, my
friends, my
enemies, my
job, my
stuff, my
strengths, my
weaknesses, my
thoughts, my
emotions, my
problems, my
joy, my
karma, my
past, my
future, my
spiritual path, even of my
God."
- What
is this I
and my
who claims to be and own such things?
- Are
these things, claims, and identities who I really
am?
- What
are all these things, these objects, this world?
- What
is the stuff of which they are made?
- And
from where do all these many things arise?
- Who am I, really?
Who am I?
One
who is not able to refrain from asking such nagging questions is a
candidate to travel the path of Self-Realization, wherein all of
these questions are resolved in the direct experience of the
Absolute Reality.
The
path
of the Himalayan sages is an ancient-most path of
Self-Realization encompassing the oral Yoga Meditation system recorded by
Patanjali, Advaita Vedanta, and purely internal Tantra.

-------
This site is devoted to
presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of
the Tradition of the Himalayan masters in simple, understandable and
beneficial ways, while not compromising quality or depth. The goal of
our sadhana or practices is the highest
Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the
center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is
one and the same with the Absolute Reality.
This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the Yoga
Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the
intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which
complement one another like fingers on a hand.
We employ the classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti
Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha,
and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer
finally converge into a unified force directed towards the final
stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the
Absolute.
