On February 7, 2026, at 12:00 (Central European Time / Rome), the World Community of Sanatana Dharma will hold its ninth practical workshop dedicated to methods of working with the energy body (pranamaya-kosha) and revealing the natural state of consciousness.
The training is conducted by Monk Ramanatha, who follows the lineage (parampara) of the living tradition of Advaita Vedanta and Yoga of Master Swami Vishnudevananda Giri.
In the Sanatana Dharma tradition, working with energy (prana-vidya) is considered a necessary stage in preparing the consciousness for deep contemplation (dhyana). According to the "Hatha Yoga Pradipika" (II.2):
“Cale vāte calaṁ cittaṁ niścale niścalaṁ bhavet” — “When the breath (prana) moves, the mind moves; when the prana becomes still, the mind also becomes still.”
The goal of this workshop is the systematic mastery of methods for purifying the channels (nadi-shuddhi), accumulating vital force (tejas), and transforming individual consciousness through the development of divine qualities (bhava).
Workshop Program
The practical part is structured in accordance with the classical canons of yogic sadhana:
Chankramana (Metaphysics of Walking)
The practice of mindful movement to harmonize the jala-tattva (water element) in the body. It is aimed at eliminating inertia (tamas) and gently awakening upward flows of energy.
Cultivation of Tejas
Methods of concentrating energy in the kanda area (the lower center of prana accumulation). The goal is to strengthen physical health, achieve longevity, and transform prana into tejas — spiritual fire.
Prana-sanchara (Circulation of Energy)
Working with the front and back channels using ritual hand movements (mudras and karanas). This stage ensures the correct distribution of "winds" (vayus) and the elimination of energy blocks.
Shambhavi-mudra and Sahaja-advaita
Revealing the natural state of consciousness through gaze fixation and rotational methods of contemplation. According to the "Gheranda Samhita," Shambhavi is the supreme mudra that grants the realization of Brahman.
Grounding and Stabilization
A fundamental walking practice with an emphasis on "grounding" to stabilize the psyche and prevent excessive pressure in the upper centers.
"Abhyange" Meditation (Healing Oil)
Traditional visualization for purifying the pranic body and relieving psycho-emotional tension.
Anahata-bhava and Maitri
Activation of the heart center (anahata-chakra) and the practice of "sending love." In terms of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, this corresponds to the cultivation of Maitri (loving-kindness), which contributes to the purification of individual karma and the harmonization of interpersonal relationships.
