Sahaj Samadhi (effortless transcendence) Meditation: The experience of meditation can take us beyond the usual mental stress and emotional agitation to a calm, centered place. Sahaj Samadhi Meditation is a graceful and effortless meditation. Participants learn to let go of all tensions and stress, providing the mind with a much needed deep rest. It allows the conscious mind to settle deeply into itself. It is only in the present moment that we find true happiness. As the mind settles down, it centers itself more and more in the present moment and experiences a natural state of joy. In just three sessions of two hours, we learn to tap the depths of our nature. After the course we can use this simple meditation practice to overcome the effects of inevitable stressful situations and make a positive impact on the quality of our lives. Contribution will be USD 150 (No scholarship is available).
Blessings course: The blessings course is a fabulous course with the most amazing processes and meditations, it takes you into a different level of meditation. Each meditation is unique and makes you dive into infinity. The kindness and compassion of our Master is beyond words. Come do it and you’ll experience the best gift you have ever received. You become a perfect instrument for the Master’s Grace to flow through. Contribution will be USD 450 (No scholarship is available). Prerequisite is 2 Part II (advanced) courses.
Gurupuja Phase I & II (by invitation only): Gurupuja is a thanksgiving ceremony remembering all the ancient rishis, seers, sages who have brought this knowledge of SELF. Puja means that which comes from the fullness.
In the presence of a master fullness dawns and Gurupuja is one of the highest expressions of devotion and gratitude to the master. Under the loving guidance of Bhanu didi, one experiences divinity through learning chanting and subsequently performing the Gurupuja. The course is filled with ancient knowledge and an overwhelming presence of the master. For Gurupuja phase I, Prerequisite is (a) Art of Living teachers or (b) TTC phase 1 and 2 Part II courses or (c) 4 Part II (advanced) courses & sahaj samadhi course.

Eternity Process: The soul is eternal. Our existence is timeless; we have been here before in the past and will come in the future too. The eternity process is a past life regression technique that provides a tool for reliving about any event that is the root of a pattern. The pattern can be mental or physical. It can be something that needs to be changed or merely understood. A past life regression also provides a gateway to a vast resource of information on previous times, places, and cultures. It helps the individual clear mental impressions that may be blocking one’s progress. The different actions of the mind and body affect the present moment. Every thought we think, becomes fine and is stored in the form of Samskara or impression in our mind. It remains latent for some time and then it rises in the form of mental waves and produces desires, fears and different emotions. Our past is what decides if we can be in the present moment and live life to its full capacity free from negative emotions and fears.
To help us overcome past impressions in the mind, our beloved Guruji has designed the ETERNITY PROCESS which enables us to see into our past lives, and eradicate the negative elements, while we are surrounded by his love and grace, so that we can overcome the past impressions and learn to be in the present moment and celebrate life. Contribution will be USD 150 (No scholarship is available). Pre-requisites: Art of living Part I.
Ayurveda Treatments: Sri Sri Ayurveda Panchakarma is an initiative of the Art of Living foundation, established with the global vision of bringing the best of Ayurveda to the world. What we offer at SSAP is a unique way to get back to Nature with our lifestyle consultations and therapies.
Our team has been trained and nurtured in the holistic and spiritual aura of the Art of Living.. Regular practice of the Art of Living techniques like Sudarshan Kriya® make our team more effective due to the positive vibrations and energy. This in turn is transmitted to the clients and helps in excellent results.
Panchakarma is the health anchor of Ayurveda. It encapsulates five basic types of purification therapies designed for the internal cleansing of the body in order to bring the Tri-doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), the supportive forces of life, into balance. The importance of Panchakarma in Ayurveda is due to its effective set of preventive, curative and highly relaxing therapies.
