Yes. This combined course is immensely relevant for the present uncertain time. For, it includes in its scope triple transformation-physical, mental and spiritual-while stressing on the yogic art of building unshakable immunity in the people.
There are reasons behind this inclusion. Vedanta and Tantra Kriyas are important branches of the inclusive yogic science. Without the knowledge of these two, yogic knowledge is incomplete. While Vedanta knowledge can transform the mind Tantra Kriyas can transform the life. And Yogic Astrology stands related to yoga in the sense that certain yogic kriyas can bolster one’s energy coming from the planets. As per Yogic Astrology, planetary negatives can be changed into positives by practice of certain yogic kriyas.
For meditation, mind must be made void of all thoughts. This is difficult, particularly for the Western mind. For they consider the reflective mind as the summit, the highest capacity of man. But for meditation, all intellectual processes must be stopped. Both static & dynamic meditations help this process. Static mediation is devoid of physical action while dynamic meditation involves some physical actions. Both deal with purgation, discovering the point of stillness in the individual being through yogic catharsis.
No. You cannot skip classes unless you are ill. If you are ill you should inform the group master immediately.

Sat-Chit Kriya FAQ's
Absolutely not. You are a devout Christian and you will remain a devout Christian while participating in this program and will go back after this program is over with your Christian beliefs intact. For Sat-Chit Kriya has nothing to do with one’s religion or belief systems. Yoga is out and out a secular practice meant for the whole of humanity irrespective of country and creed. A part of yogic mainstream, Sat-Chit Kriya is absolutely a secular practice, meant for unveiling Consciousness enmeshed in body-life-mind complex.
No, not exactly. Transcendental Meditation is a particular meditation technique through silent mantra chanting devised by a great yogi. Ours is different in the sense that it is a meditation technique that aims at making you realize that you are pure Existence (Sat) and pure Consciousness (Chiit). You are not ephemeral existence for a certain period of time, some years. You have been existing through eternity and you will exist through eternity; you are timeless, deathless, unborn. And this awareness of this pure Existence is pure Consciousness. We will take you to this level of pure Existence-Consciousness and then you will climb up the consciousness ladder to reach the Supreme Consciousness yourself.
You need not think it is a difficult program. It is not that difficult, for it will just lead you into your Consciousness. You are essentially pure Consciousness, but you are not aware of it because you are imprisoned in your surface mental awareness. Yoga masters will just take you into yourself-into your deeper realms of existence. It is as simple as that.
Yes. This is the right program for you. You have started feeling the futility of ego-existence. That is like living in a prison, prison of ego, prison of vital passions and sensory pleasures. You must come out of it. Upanishads say there is no joy in the finite; there is joy only in the Infinite. The Sat-Chit Kriya will help you live anew, life transformed into celebration, anchored in the Divine Consciousness. Sat signifies True Existence and Chit, True Consciousness. Sat Chit means Divine Existence in Divine Consciousness. The program will definitely take you out of the ego-prison and lead you into the True Existence in True Consciousness. We are sure you have been looking for it and your quest will be satisfied and you will learn to live anew, in Consciousness, in Soul, ever connected to the Divine dwelling inside you.
It will, of course, boost you mentally. You cannot have perfect mental health unless and until you start living in your Consciousness instead of in your mind. Consciousness resides deep inside the mental layers. Mind is ever restless, disturbed while Consciousness is ever quiet and poised, peaceful and steady. So you must get into your Consciousness to put your mind at rest. Once Consciousness comes out and you live connected to it all your mental problems will be solved automatically. You will be invigorated and strengthened from within.
One thing must be made clear here. If you are to carry on with your normal life you should control sex impulses to keep them under moral limits. But if you are to opt for ascetic life, for real sadhana you must conquer sex. If you connect your pure Consciousness the hold of sex will decrease with time. It is wrong to think that keeping sex under moral/spiritual control robs one of dynamism. The present dynamism will just change form as you progress in the yogic pursuits. The ignorance-ruled dynamism will progressively become knowledge-enlightened dynamism. And as far as an ascetic’s efforts to conquer sex altogether are concerned the same is true. You must live permanently in your yogic consciousness, in union with the Divine, and the Divine will ensure that you get emancipated from it.
There are numerous physical benefits. Getting settled in the stable Consciousness will automatically stabilize your body functioning: boosting immunity, freeing lungs of congestions, regulating heart beats and blood circulation and the like. Breathing kriyas, included in this program along with physical kriyas like hatha yoga asanas, will take full care of your physical wellbeing.
Yogic breathing techniques are very effective in releasing and expanding your Consciousness. This is meditative breathing, breathing with the whole of your existence. It progressively transforms your ephemeral life into eternal life, your body-entangled consciousness into the Infinite Consciousness. Breathing is the main instrument of your body to connect the universal life and so by transforming physical breathing into meditative breathing you can connect the universal life and the universal consciousness.
Yes, you are right. We are stressing on diet and this is for sound reasons. What we generally partake as food makes our body heavy, lethargic. But this is a serious program which involves intense preparation and purification of the body and mind. So, we must regulate your diet for your own benefit so that you progress fast in the path of connecting Consciousness.
Technically no, but they lead to the same things. Static breathing kriya helps you find the still center of your being, giving you a static power to remain at rest even amidst the ceaseless motions of life. Dynamic breathing kriya transforms your ego-ruled vital dynamism into Divine Dynamism, ego-consciousness dissolving in Cosmic Consciousness. They are essentially breathing-oriented techniques while meditation is centered in mind and ascent of mental awareness.
Sat Meditation Kriya FAQ's
Yes, it will do. As your problem seems deep you should opt for our 21-day program. It will not just help you strengthen your immunity but also set your mind free from fear as you will be living in your consciousness which knows no fear, founded in Divine Protection.
Not just yours but everyone’s mind is restless. It cannot but be restless, given its constitution and functioning. But it can be put at rest and meditation is the means, perhaps the only means. There are two meditational techniques-passive and active. It may be difficult for you to be immersed in passive meditation for the desired period of time, for your restless mind will impede it and pull you down. So you may start with active meditation which will clear your mind of the debris and only then your passive meditation will go on undisturbed.
Yes, there are reasons why we have kept two different programs. The 7-day program is the basic program, for the beginners. The other is advanced program. The advanced program is meant for those who aspire to be meditation teachers. However, one may choose it for self-improvement also. It is better for you if you are a beginner to start with the basic course and then get into the advanced course.
It depends. But as a rule it takes not less than seven days to make mind ready for true meditation. It may even take a few more days if your mind is very obstinate. Meditation for us is not easy for our body and mind resist it. They love to wallow in the old habits, old patterns, old crazy noises. We must train them patiently to calm down and become quiet for consciousness to come to the front. Once consciousness is firmly fixed in us meditation becomes easy.
It may because it creates a void in us, negative emotions eliminated from the mental space. Once the mental void is created it would be easier for you to deepen the levels of your passive meditation.
This is a common problem now. Our life is presently beset with uncertainty from all sides. Uncertainty begets frustration. There is a solution we have kept for you in this program. This is dynamic meditation. Through dynamic meditation you may drive out your long-accumulated negative emotions like frustration. This is a new meditation technique tailored to the dynamics of modern life. Once your pent-up frustrations move out through this meditation technique your passive meditation will be deep, unhindered.
It is quite normal for you to have the fear of death. Everyone does fear death. But you cannot get over it by your mind. You must get into your consciousness and start living in it stably and then you are free from the fear of death. You are essentially consciousness, but your surface physical-vital-mental self keeps it veiled. Consciousness knows no death, for it is eternal, infinite, beyond life and death. Our meditation program will help you connect the consciousness and conquer the fear of death.
Yes, if you are determined. Sex instincts are obstinate. They don’t give up easily. But if you connect consciousness and start living in it the power of libido will progressively weaken. It may take a long time to get liberation from lust, but the result is sure if you persist. But for normal life, it is better to keep it under moral restraint rather than trying to eliminate it altogether. If you are meant for ascetic life you may try it.
Yes, it is bound to manifest sooner or later. Our motto is to transform you inside out. Once you are living securely in your Consciousness it will automatically transform your outer life, without efforts on your part. Consciousness will progressively permeate every cell of yours and your outer being will be as perfect as your inner being.
Yes, there is a common factor. It is the restless, monkey mind becoming the witness mind, observing the crazy drama going on in mind as an outsider. This is called the witness mind and you can separate them only through persistent meditation. The witness mind is centered in the still point of your being. From this center, consciousness will spread, from mind to every part of your being.
