7 Days Sivoham Kriya
7 Days Sivoham Kriya in Rishikesh
The seven days Sivoham Kriya is a hymn of “KNOWING YOURSELF” just by sound of mantra. The power of a mantra extends beyond words. It can purify the body, regulate the breath, quiet the mind and reveal your true nature. “SIVOHAM” already exists within every human being just as a diamond exists within every coal.
The source of all sound exists within you in a seed form. By quieting the restless mind and withdrawing attention from external noises, one can enter deeper states of awareness where sound exists in its subtlest expression. Here, the primordial sound (Sivoham) can be experienced directly, which is beyond all cycles of existence.
What is Sivoham Kirya?
“Sivo” stands for all-pervading supreme consciousness while “aham” signifies “I am.” It expresses the realization: “I am one with the supreme consciousness.” It is the direct realization of your essential nature in Shaiva philosophy. That essential nature is stillness, emptiness and pure awareness.
Why Practice Sivoham Kriya?
Modern life bestows many comforts, still some people complain of insecurity, restless or constant anxiety. A student asked his Master, “I have many things in life, but why do I still feel hollow?” He replied, “The completeness is within you not elsewhere.”
The student curiously asked, “How can I discover it?” The Master said, “Feel the sound, breath and silence all merge in Sivoham kriya. When all physical and mental actions subside and only this kriya remains, you discover nothing is lacking in your life.”
Mental Unrest → Silence & Stillness Arise
Mind never rests even for a moment and constantly drains energy. Mantra chatting stills the roaming mind through breath awareness.
Feeling Disconnected → Sense of Unity
Doubt and fear are born from separation. Sivoham helps you experience the same consciousness present in all beings.
Indecisive Mind → Silent Knowing
Spiritual ignorance keeps the mind uncertain and unclear. Silent chanting helps open the door to inner knowing.
Emotional Fluctuations → Softens Emotional Reactions
When emotions feel chaotic and mood keeps changing life looks tough. Mantra practice calms the inner emotional flow.
Incomplete Feeling → Experience Fullness
Once the mantra is truly felt, it brings completeness, contentment and overflowing joy naturally arising from within.
Ego Boundaries → Creates Bonding with All
Sivoham Kriya helps dissolve ego boundaries, creating unity, connection and brotherhood with all unconditionally.
Directionless Life → Inner Guidance
Life without purpose is like silence without music. Sivoham creates a divine symphony that brings beauty and fragrance to life.
Mental Loops → Promotes New Mental Habit
Many people remain vulnerable to the same repetitive thoughts making loops. Sivoham transcend the mind to rewire mind.
LISTEN DEEPLY TO MOVING BREATH
Sivoham Kriya:
Combination of Six Paths
This sacred mantra kriya begins with your breath that is flowing continuously. A keen observation will disclose that breath generates musical note with a rhythmic pattern. When the mind turns completely silent, the natural mantra of ‘Sivoham’ becomes experiential at your consciousness level.
Observing the breath
Just “feel” how the incoming breath is touching your body in a smoothing way. After staying momentarily, it returns ‘empty’ to the existence.
Breath within the breath
Vital energy known as “chi” in Taoism and “ki” in Reiki healing system. Placing your awareness at the natural stoppage of breath reveals this “chi”.
Sound of breath
Regular practice of Sivoham kriya refines your process of hearing so that you begin to experience the ‘subtle’ rhythmic pattern hidden within the breath.
Mantra vibration
A high frequency mantra sound produces an external echoing impact, and when it is repeated, it allows tremors in all parts of physical body.
Inner observation
You begin to notice corresponding changes in breath, sensation and inner vibration. It allows consciousness to become more settled and inwardly stable.
Feeling of cosmic oneness
When you chant mantra inwardly with awareness focussed below the navel (“hara” in Japan), your limited consciousness breaks all the barriers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sivoham Kriya?
Sivoham kriya is an online and in-person seven-day program by Satbodh Foundation. It is a traditional purging action (kriya) involving sound mantra with specific yogic gesture and lock to dispel all negativity stuck in many dimensions of your existence. Sivoham connects you with your essential nature and prepares you for spiritual transformation by helping you transcend talkative mind and ego-driven consciousness. As awareness expands, it gradually dissolves the sense of separation and connects you with the wholeness of existence.
What is the need to practice Sivoham kriya?
Modern life often leaves the mind restless, scattered and disconnected from its source. Sivoham kriya quiets the roaming mind through breath and mantra, softens emotional fluctuations, dissolves ego boundaries and restores a natural sense of completeness, unity and inner guidance.
I am a beginner. Can I practice Sivoham Kriya?
Yes. Sivoham kriya is open to everyone, including complete beginners. No prior experience is required — only a sincere interest and willingness to practice. Under the guidance of the Master, you are gradually led from simple breath awareness to the subtler layers of mantra.
How simple breathing is different from Sivoham kriya?
Simple breathing regulates the flow of air and calms the nervous system. Sivoham kriya goes deeper — you connect “Sivo” with the inhale and “Ham” with the exhale, listening to the sound and vibration hidden within the breath until the mantra becomes effortless and experiential.
Sivoham Kriya touches how many levels of mantra sound?
The practice works across three levels of mantra — the gross (verbal recitation), the subtle (mental repetition) and the causal (spontaneous, self-sounding vibration) — gradually leading awareness from external sound to the primordial sound within.
How long does it take to learn Sivoham Kriya?
The core practice is taught over the seven-day program. With daily practice under the Master’s guidance, most practitioners grasp the technique within the course itself, while its depth continues to unfold with regular practice afterwards.
Who should avoid practicing Sivoham Kriya?
Sivoham kriya is gentle and safe for most people. Those with serious medical, cardiac or psychiatric conditions, or who are pregnant, should consult their physician and inform the Master beforehand so the practice can be adapted to their needs.
What are the inclusive benefits of a 7-day Sivoham kriya?
The seven-day program includes study material and welcome kit, yoga dress code and yoga bag, lodging with thrice vegetarian meals, astrology, gemstone and palmistry consultancy, CCTV & security, service assistants, unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi and outing transportation.
