In Yoga, the five elements are seen as the basis of all creation, including the physical body. The Yogic sciences have powerful processes that can bring the body and mind to a vibrant state of health and wellbeing by purifying the five elements within the human system.
With the Pancha Bhuta Kriya, Sadhguru opens up a unique opportunity for everyone to benefit from the powerful Yogic process of Bhuta Shuddhi which would otherwise require intense sadhana (spiritual practice).
Pancha Bhuta Kriya happens in Dhyanalinga on the 14th day of every lunar month, which is one day before the new moon. This process can be attended in-person as well as online.
The Benefits
Stabilizes the body and mind
