Sadhana – modern applications of classical teachings
ARE YOU READY TO PRACTICE?
Now is the time to act. To seek the truth wherever it may lead. Sometimes, we get stuck, we can’t go deeper on the path. We loose our way or get sidetracked by life. It’s time to develop a personal Sadhana (a daily practice).
With the spiritual path full of ups and downs and hurdles it is easy to find ourselves off track. As soon as we conquer one obstacle, another one is ready in waiting to manifest. It takes great patience, perseverance, vigilance and strength to follow a spiritual practice.
Sadhana is a spiritual movement consciously systematized. Sadhana is the purpose for which we have all come to this place.
In this program, you will develop a personal Sadhana of which stern self discipline is absolutely essential. A spiritualization of life.
