Agni vidya, loosely translated as the science of inner fire, is an inseparable part of Sri Vidya. It has long been the core specialty of the masters of the Siddha and Natha traditions. By using the techniques of agni vidya, yogis in these traditions have gained extraordinary control over their body and mind, and cultivated healing power beyond our ken. Agni vidya, also known as surya vijnana, solar science, has been the cardinal practice for the student on the path of Aghora, the most miraculous and startling of all tantric paths.

In this retreat, we’ll introduce practices grounded in agni vidya and help you further refine the techniques you learned in the weekend intensive. In addition to practicums, you’ll be provided with extensive handouts to help you take your practices of hatha yoga, pranayama, meditation, gayatri mantra, maha mrityunjaya mantra, or navarna mantra, for example, to a new height. This is your opportunity to immerse yourself in an aspect of yoga which is often dismissed as too esoteric, and so is rarely taught.

This retreat is a summary of the experiences shared in the scriptures Tripura Rahasya, Yoga Vasishtha, Netra Tantra, Yogini Hridaya, and Katha Upanishad. You will have an opportunity to receive personal guidance from Panditji, deepen your personal practice, assess the pace of your personal growth, and decide if it is time to bring your practice to a greater focus, or add something to it to make it more effective.
