Shivanga Sadhana

Way of Grace

(for gents, online or in person)

A powerful 42-day sadhana offered by Sadhguru, to bring forth devotion within to enhance your receptivity to Shiva. Builds a strong physical and psychological basis for inner exploration.

What is Shivanga Sadhana?

“The Shivanga Sadhana is about bringing into your awareness that you are a limb of Shiva, the very source of creation and the Ultimate Possibility.”


—Sadhguru

The sadhana is an opportunity to bring forth devotion from within.


The sadhana includes an initiation and culmination, which are available online and in-person.

The moment I complete 10-12 Shiva Namaskar, a different kind of intense energy pushes me to do it. Now, I know what is Grace!

The Shiva Namaskar process gave me the emotional strength that I had lost somewhere during the last 2 decades of corporate chaos. I recommend it to all working professionals.

SADHANA GUIDELINES

  • This sadhana is only for gents.
  • The Rudraksha mala with the Dhyanalinga pendant should be worn around the neck during the sadhana period.
  • The black cloth should be tied on the upper right arm. It can be rinsed in plain water while bathing.
  • Vibhuti should be applied between the eyebrows, at the pit of the throat, behind the ears, on the solar plexus and just below the navel.
  • Shiva Namaskar (a practice taught during initiation) should be done with devotion 21 times a day, either before sunrise or after sunset on an empty stomach.
  • Only 2 meals can be had during the day. The first meal should be taken after 12 PM / noon.
  • Soak 8-10 peppercorns along with 2-3 vilva leaves in honey, and a handful of groundnuts in water overnight. In the morning, on an empty stomach, chew the leaves. After completing the daily Shivanga sadhana, add lemon juice to the peppercorn-honey mixture and consume. Consume the soaked groundnuts also.
  • Shower/bath should be taken twice a day. Herbal bathing powder (snanam podi) can be used instead of soap.
  • Whites or light color clothing can be worn during the Sadhana period.
  • During the period of the Sadhana, smoking, consuming alcohol and eating non-vegetarian food are not allowed.

  • Through a simple act of offering food, you can touch another life and enrich your own.

This Sadhana has been a transformative experience for me! It was a bit tough initially. But from the 7th day, the way Shiva Namaskar was flowing through me, it was definitely not me doing it.

I was too excited to go to Velliangiri. It is not just trekking, it is like going to meet the divine. You just have to be there once in a lifetime, once you go, you will know!
