About this Retreat
From the silence of twenty-seven years of profound meditation, emerges Amitabh Ji, a true master of the ancient science of Trika Tantra. He carries the sacred torch of Gurutva, a blessing from an unbroken lineage of sages, enabling him to unveil the mysteries of Kashmir Shaivism to the world. Through Shivashaktivigyan, his voice has kindled the inner fire of over ten thousand souls. He is a Kundalini Shaktipat Acharya, capable of a sacred alchemy: by yogic transmission, he invokes the dormant energy within your being, dissolving the veil of effort to reveal pure consciousness & endless eternal bliss.
Amitabh Saraha started his meditation journey 12+ years ago reaching to numerous seekers with guidance on how to reach the source of happiness & the true nature of reality. His teachings are usually backed by the beauty of
science & the esoteric practices of meditation which included various Vedic, Tantric & Agama texts.
Amitabh brilliantly elucidates & vividly brings to life the many dimensions of the special series of study & practice
intensive focusing on a special sadhana practice, breathwork sessions, cathartic techniques which Amitabh himself uses & explores deeply with all participants in 1:1 sessions spread over hosted in online & offline classes & intensive retreats all over India.
Amitabh Saraha loves shedding light on Tantra’s underlying philosophy & its complex symbolism combined with the essence of practical sessions which involve both active & passive forms of techniques. Amitabh is also trained under Osho Ashram as a bonafide facilitator & his teachings continued under the guidance of Swami Lakshman Joo Academy - a Vigyan Bhairava & Trika Yog practitioner & founder of 1000petals.in India.
Rohan Ji’s contemporary approach regards spiritual process as a biological evolutionary phenomenon & points adepts to the Ultimate knowing of oneself as divine Shiva nature, Awareness, through pointers inspired by nondual Trika Tantra - humble yet brutally honest & eye opening. Continuously inspired by the biology & physics of the Kundalini process he researches & explores fields of vibrational mechanics, quantum physics, as well as the Ayurvedic concepts of a healthy life.
Rohan founded Advaitashram in 2017, a supportive community for Kundalini Awakening & has awakened thousands through Shaktipat Deeksha.
