Join us to explore the fascinating world of Yantras – the Sacred Geometric shapes of Power.

Any arrangement of things has a power to attract our attention. Yantras are Divine Energy expressed through certain geometric shapes such as dots, triangles, squares and circles. Meditation on Yantras can lead to higher states of Consciousness.

In this course, Ram will help us gain insights into the sacred Geometry of the Universe…how certain shapes are arrangements of Cosmic Energy. We will begin with the origin of Yantras and elements of a Yantra that lend power and energy to it, learn about the various kinds of Yantras, different structures of Yantras, limbs of a Yantra and the application of Yantras. Ram will also guide us through the process of beginner level Yantra meditations on various Yantras. Please note that this is not a course about drawing the Yantras.

This course is a mixture of theory as well practices (meditations, mantra chanting, mudras etc.). Please dress comfortably.

What will you learn:

Please note that studying with Ram is not academic exercise but rather a spiritual journey. While the course is structured well, it is a good idea not to get attached to it as Ram is guided more by his intuition of the group energy in teaching.

Ram was born and brought up in India, steeped in the Vedic tradition of life.  Vedic Philosophies (such as Yoga, Vedanta, Tantra), Vedic Sciences (such as Vedic Astrology, Ayurveda) and Vedic practices (such as Meditation, Nada Yoga, Mantras, Mudras, Yantras) form the core of his teachings. Ram shares the authentic wisdom of the Rishis from the ancient texts of India in an easily-understandable language, with a sense of humor.
