Illuminate your heart and find your true purpose
In authentic spiritual study we seek to know who we are, where we have come from and where we are going to. “Who am I and what is the purpose of my existence?”
We seek self-knowledge and to understand how our lives fit into the bigger picture.
Awaken self-knowledge - become self-realized
To awaken self-knowledge and to become self-realized we require appropriate spiritual technology based on the science of self-awareness and self-mastery. We require techniques that allow us to understand the relationship between spirit and consciousness.
We show you where to begin
The fundamental techniques for this study can be found in the Self-development section of the website. This Spirit section adds more powerful but still very accessible methods of awakening that allow us to refine the our exploration our spiritual dimension.
Use ritual and technique to forge a powerful spirit
Spirit is the least tangible, most subtle and essential part of us. It contains the seeds of all that is potential in us, the seeds of our ultimate fulfillment.
Because it is so subtle we require meditative techniques and rituals that allow us to connect to this most subtle part of us on a daily basis. We use these techniques to awaken and nurture our consciousness and spirit, to forge a powerful spirit.
Powerful but easily accessible techniques
Ajapa japa is one of the most powerful and useful of all the yoga meditation techniques that awaken the channels that carry spiritual energy and consciousness. It is a fundamental core practice, the foundation of stable spiritual development. It is easy to learn and apply and can be used anywhere anytime once we know how.
"Every time I practice the Ajapa Japa meditation I feel instantly calm and centred. All my worries seem to disappear and my mind becomes clear. More and more I am using it with my day to day issues."
Marie Petrie, Paris, France
Disconnection is the basis of all suffering
It is essential to actively pursue connection with ourselves, with our spirit and consciousness, because disconnection from ourselves is one of the greatest pains that we can experience. Disconnection is at the core of many physical and psychological diseases.

Connection is the cure to many of life's problems and sufferings.

Testimonials
It is quite evident from the start of using Swami Shankardev's guidance that these techniques are truly effective. The Yoga Nidra CD complements my own practice in this type of relaxation meditation. Having a "coach" of this calibre to lead me through the territory of the body is a blessing.
