Merging ancient Vedic knowledge with modern lifestyle
Why, what, how?
Life in UAE is a pinnacle of what can be described as dynamic and transient. This lifestyle brings a lot of excitement but takes a heavy toll on our bodies, minds and hearts.
To keep ourselves focused, stay productive and maintain peace of mind we are taking refuge in the ancient vedic knowledge and philosophy known to the Western World as Yoga.
Yoga & Meditation
Atma Kriya Yoga
Atma Kriya Yoga means ‘action with awareness of the soul’. It is a full yoga and meditation system that helps you realise your love relationship with the divine that rests within your own heart and connect with your true Self. Ultimately, it is a practice that gives you a lived experience of unconditional Love. It is not merely a meditation practice; it is a way of living and loving life.
There are only 15 techniques in Atma Kriya Yoga; each one holds the essence and power of all kriya-yoga. Each technique cultivates a particular state of consciousness which is what makes Atma Kriya Yoga so special. Bringing awareness of the divine in every action you take enriches your life and amplifies the love you experience.
Techniques include mantra, meditation techniques, sound yoga, group chanting, pranayama, asanas, mudras, and the main kriya. Plus, you’ll also learn a protective shielding technique to protect you from negativity and receive a Shaktipat Initiation.
Whether you have time to practice for 5 minutes or 5 hours a day – this practice is accessible to all!
Babaji Surya Namaskar
Babaji Surya Namaskar is the original Surya Namaskar asana practice given by Mahavatar Babaji, an ancient ethereal master residing in the Himalayas. It is a prayer for your body, mind and soul. All different layers of our being are connected when doing this ancient set of asanas.
A simple practice of 6-8 daily rounds takes only 10-15 minutes and can provide the same benefits as a 45 minute hatha yoga practice: cultivating strength, positive energy flow and clarity of mind.
The short course teaches you the physical practice combined with a special mantra. Personalised guidance is given throughout the course to ensure the asanas are practiced safely and accurately.
The course is open to those less physically able as it can also be taught, seated from a chair. This course and practice is not suitable for those that are pregnant.
Free meditations
OM Chanting
OM Chanting is a deep sound immersion and a very nurturing practice into the primordial syllable OM. The sound that circumnavigates our universe. The practice is led by initiated practitioners who have been given the permission from the great masters Mahavatar Babaji and Sri Swami Paramahamsa Vishwananda.
Participants sit in a special configuration and chant this simple yet powerful mantra for 45 minutes together. It is a practice of service and allows us to send support to anyone in need as well as our loved ones.
Project Mantra
Mantra chanting is a simple yet powerful form of meditation that awakens a deep and lasting joy. Project Mantra is a free, 40-day guided journey to help you build up a mantra meditation practice. We use the mantra “OM NAMO NARAYANAYA”. It is a perfect practice for both complete beginners and advanced practitioners.
‘THE MORE YOU CHANT, THE MORE THE POWER OF THE MIND WILL DECREASE, THE MORE YOU WILL BE IN SPIRITUAL BLISS, AND THE MORE YOUR HEART WILL OPEN UP TO LOVE.’ – Paramahamsa Vishwananda
Devotional arts
Sri Yantra painting
A yantra is an energetic instrument for our spiritual advancement. It is the most mysterious geometry known to mankind. Sri Yantra has a profound effect on the person who draws, paints, or studies one. It is based on nine layers and each level has its own structure and secret wisdom hidden. Sri Yantra gives us a path to the true Self within.
This high energy state has the ability to support an inner journey. The outlines of the Yantra will already be drawn, so all you need to do is bring your creativity and paint the yantra with your own design and creativity!
All the knowledge presented on this course comes from Sri Swami Paramahamsa Vishwananda. No previous knowledge or skill is required, everyone from minimum age 15 years is welcome to join.
Kirtan
When we sing and dance, not for our own pleasure but for the pleasure of our Beloved Lord, the mundane transforms into the Divine. As the purity of love begins to flow, thinking stops, and only being remains. Nothing else exists except you and your Beloved.
Like a serenaded lover, the Lord responds when you sing His Name from your heart. Fortunately, His response has little to do with the quality of your voice – all that matters is the sincerity of your calling. Enjoy the sweetness of love.
