The whole craft of meditation lies in dropping things, not picking up. In unlearning things, not learning.
Methodology
Tapasya integrates multiple dimensions of yogic science to create a comprehensive system for human transformation The Yoga of Sound: Harmonizing Body, Mind, and Spirit "Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self." - The Bhagavad Gita
"He who has realized the unity of the sound of the mantra with the highest reality becomes free from the illusion of duality." - Shiva Samhita
Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound, forms a core element of Dr. Thakur's approach. Practitioners learn to attune to subtle inner sounds, progressing from audible to inaudible vibrations, ultimately connecting with the Anahata Nada, the unstruck sound of cosmic consciousness.
Tapasya incorporates elements from these powerful yogic technologies:
• Yantra Yoga: Using sacred geometric patterns to organize and focus consciousness
• Mantra Yoga: Harnessing the vibrational power of sound to transform awareness
• Tantra Yoga: Integrating all aspects of life into the spiritual path through sacred practices
Through these complementary approaches, practitioners develop a complete toolkit for transformation that works across all dimensions of human experience.
THE PROCESS OF CLEANING GRANTHIS
In yogic understanding, granthis are knots or blockages in our energy system that obstruct the free flow of prana (life force). These blockages manifest as physical disease, emotional disturbance, or mental limitation.
1. Conscious Movement - Yoga postures and sequences that release physical tension and stagnant energy
2. Breath Awareness - Pranayama techniques that increase vital energy and direct it to areas of blockage
3. Sound Vibration - Mantras and tonal practices that dissolve subtle obstructions
4. Guided Awareness - Meditation techniques that bring consciousness to unconscious patterns
5. Sacred Geometry - Yantra practices that organize energy and consciousness
