Yoga School

Sanatana Yog Sandesh - By the grace of the highest truth, Sanatana Yog Sandesh expresses itself as “A Traditional School of Tantra and Applied Yogic Science”. The word “Sanatana” means continuity and eternity whereas the word “Sandesh” connotes message. Therefore, Yoga at Sanatana Yog Sandesh is, exactly as it was and as it shall ever be. Sanatana Yog Sandesh serves the spirit of Yoga in its unadulterated, unmodified and unaltered form according to the needs and limitations of an individual irrespective of his/her caste, creed, cult, religion, nationality and what so ever. We as channels let the spirit of Yoga flow in its natural way. Our sojourn and work together will facilitate a way to all of us to be practically helpful in our daily life to enjoy all human needs such as food, sleep, sex, myriad relationships and dynamism in activities etc.

Our journey and the Place of practice - The school started its independent practice in 2016 at Fort Cochin, Kerala, India. Since then a considerable number of courses and retreats have successfully been organised in India as well as overseas. At present, we operate from Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India nevertheless, the courses and retreats are organised at different places in India as well as overseas. International Courses and Retreats are done only at prior request made and proper arrangements provided. The school does not own or rent any specific building. For the courses we depend on the premises of other organisations. We make sure, we maintain the requirements of the participants wherever we organise the courses and retreats.

About Rishikesh - Rishikesh is a very ancient and one of the holiest places situated at the bank of the holy river Ganga. This has been the abode of great Swami Sivananda who systematised the obscure ideas of Yoga practically applicable to the modern time. Thousands of people from all parts of the world come to visit Rishikesh for pilgrimage, Yoga and meditation.

Our Tradition - We adhere to the teachings of authentic schools of Yoga and spirituality such as Ramakrishna Mission, Sri Aurobindo Society, Yogoda Satsang Society of India, Sivananda Ashram, Bihar School of Yoga and so on. These schools follow the age-old traditions of Yoga and spirituality. In our teaching, we offer beautiful amalgamation of the teachings of these authentic schools which help the students to learn and grow with right education. For better explanation, please look into Tantra and Yoga. We approach Tantra and Yoga as possible human phenomenon divorced from mysticism, occultism and narrowness of science. We see the whole ambit of Yoga relating to human biology. We see Yoga as a way to cosmic experience which governs and moulds the total range of human existence to experience more than the limited perception. Nothing in and about Yoga for us is a surprise nor anything into and about is mere belief. Our approach is, “Yoga beyond limited range of perception”. Therefore, we invite all of you to study, learn and grow as an evolved human with the help of Yogic tools.

We believe in the common values of life rooted in compassion, kindness and love to one another and this is our main driver. Therefore, our promise is to provide you with the very best of pre and post course assistance, answering all your questions whatever comes up and more that you may require for your growth and well-being. We do not teach any modern trends of Yoga such as Iyenger, Ashtanga, Acro, Yin, Vikram, Power or so on. Therefore, when you join us, you know very well that our education is exactly what we need for our evolution in all regards.

Emblem Defined - The bigger circle is symbolic of physical body (Sthula Sharira) and Conscious State (Jaagrat Avastha). Infinite lines from the bigger circle to the smaller one of astral body (Sukshma Sharira) and Sub-conscious State (Swapna Avastha). The smaller circle of causal body (Karana Sharira) and Unconscious State (Susupta Avastha). The AUM (ॐ) at the centre in the diagram stands for the Highest Truth (The fourth state -  Turiya; Super-conscious). Therefore the ideal of the emblem is that in order to reach the highest truth, one needs to transcend the 3 layers of existence and awareness.  The idea in another way is that the life goes smooth when the harmony of the three layers of bodies or the same of existence (Sattva - Peace, Rajas - Activity and Tamas - Inertia) is established. The Physical, Astral and Causal are also indicative of  the three major aspects of Yoga viz: Physical - Karma Yoga, Astral -  Bhakti Yoga, Causal - Jnana Yoga.

The piece of verse in Sanskrit (सत्यं परम् धीमहि - SATYAM PARAM DHIMAHI) is culled from the greatest of all the Puranas; Srimada Bhagavatam, Canto - 1, Chapter - 1, Verse - 1. The Sanskrit words, सत्यं (Satyam) means truth, परम् (Param) means the highest and धीमहि (Dhimahi) means think, meditate or contemplate. The complete meaning of the piece of verse in Sanskrit is that "we think on that Highest Truth".
