Practices for a lifetime

At shaktipat, Guruji gave us the master key to unlocking a lineage that was thousands of years old, the Ram mantra. He also gave the Bhuta Shuddhi mantra for removing barriers. He shared with us that it is through meditation that we are able to remove those barriers and bring about the process of merging with the absolute.

In the retreats of the Vajra Panjar, he gave very profound teachings like the Ram Raksha Stotram, the Hanuman Chalisa, various pranayama techniques, and finally the most potent practice, the Trailokya Mohan Kavacam. In these retreats, Guruji gave what is a practice for a lifetime, if not many more. 

—Anandi Ma

Learn the practices Guruji deemed most fruitful

Vajra Panjar, which translates to 'Shield of the Thunderbolt,' is a series of teaching retreats offering intensive immersions in Kundalini Maha Yoga. Here, Shri Anandi Ma and Dileepji initiate participants into the practices that Shri Dhyanyogi deemed the most powerful during his thirty years as a wandering sadhu studying with yogis across India in the early 20th century.

After shaktipat, these trainings are giant next steps on the path, broadening and deepening your spiritual practice and your connection to Anandi Ma. Each level of Vajra Panjar builds upon the previous, making VP1 the essential foundation for continuing this transformative series. VP1 is only offered every five or six years, so even if you feel uncertain about diving in fully right away, you may wish to receive these teachings now to ensure they will be part of your spiritual tools, ready for you to draw upon whenever you wish to work with them.


The person who is armored with Vajra Panjar
is victorious, blissful, and protected in their life, without any obstruction.

What to expect

The five levels of Vajra Panjar build progressively, increasing your capacity to hold and utilize prana, your spiritual energy. The practices taught in each retreat are complete in themselves but also form the foundation for deepening and refining them in the subsequent levels.

This first level - VP1 - includes advanced Yogic teachings of pranayama (breathing exercises), tratak (gazing), mudra (sacred gestures), mantras, purification practices, healing techniques and energy exercises. 

Each day of the retreats includes teachings, meditations, chanting, discussion groups, and plenty of satsang (Q&A) with Anandi Ma. Experience the impact of learning directly from Ma, receiving these teachings as transmissions of spiritual energy rather than simply the transfer of knowledge.

Delicious vegetarian meals will be provided daily, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
