Margazhi Sadhana

Margazhi Sadhana is open to those who have completed Inner Engineering (including Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya).

The residential program will be conducted only in English. Translation in other languages will not be available.

The Margazhi Sadhana is specially designed by Sadhguru and includes guided sadhana in the morning and evening, an afternoon sadhana schedule, Mahamantra chanting, Teerthakund dip at Brahma Muhurtam, a conducive diet, and participation in certain cultural aspects of Margazhi.

The program is designed to deepen and intensify the practices you have already learned. Participants in the Agni category will learn Bhastrika Kriya, while those in the Jala category will learn both Bhastrika Kriya and Shanmukhi Mudra.

To register for Margazhi Sadhana, you must have received the transmission of Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya before the program start date.

The stay will only be available for the duration of the program. Check-in and check-out details will be shared upon registration.

For stay extension, participants need to book cottages separately at cottage.isha.in.
