DISCLAIMER 🧠 I made all these videos while I was in the ashram, with the intention of making people aware of what Isha has to offer and how one can benefit from the spiritual programs. I wish no one lose their spark & individuality by investing their whole life after an entity and regret later. 🙏🏼

During 1997, I did Shoonya meditation course for two weeks at Chennai directly under Sadhguru's guidance. After a month most of the ladies including me, went to Isha Ashram for BSP. BSP was fun

I ruined my IE online initiation experience because of a lot of expectations i had because of the videos i saw online. But after doing it for sometime i can see the benefits (tho nothing blissful and explosive) but it works. So just go with an open mind and trust the process! Thankyou for your work.

Akka , you have changed. You are calmer this time ( observed same thing in others who did shoonya)

I don't know but I find your whole energy in this vedio is so purified. Love love love it

Shato, it is interesting to listen to your natural and continuous flow of speech. I did Shoonya and BSP way back in 2002. Recently I have started doing again. Good Luck.

Both the program cannot be compared as both are different in nature. BSP is completely experiential nature and it allows you to get a glimpse of the spiritual world Sadhguru has been telling us on, there is no initiation, no practices taught to be done daily. Shoonya is one of the 112 paths given by Adiyogi to reach the ultimate. Once you’re initiated into Shoonya you have to practice it daily to keep it alive and even in terms of experience of doing the practices it’s completely different, I would say you will experience what is being in meditation is like in Shoonya.

I did BSP in 2017. My advice is do your homework COMPLETELY and give yourself 100% like it's the last thing you'll do. Do not hold back at all. Going for Shoonya in the fall 😊🙏

I hardly leave comments on KZfaq videos but this video is an exception. You are radiating so much energy that I can feel the power of these spiritual practices.

I didnt know shambhavi was like preparation for shoonya medition, im really excited to learn shoonya after I do Inner Enginnering Completion!

That was very helpful! I am planning to persue BSP as soon as we get out of this lockdown situation so this is very helpful! Thank you :)

Brilliantly explained 👍 You are enlightening people with your superb explanations👌well done, subscribed and look forward to more from you, thank you for this post, lots of love from ireland🇮🇪

I really feel that i must do isha practices in aashram (update us on ashram opening ) & i will definetly try .now i currently doing upa yoga its relief giving 😊😊 thank you😊...

This gives a lot of important information that we must know before planning to do them. Thanks a lot!

Actually I was waiting for this video 🙂🙂 and woila!! Its finally here!!😇💜

Namaskaram akka, couple of things to mention here. To maintain the sanctity of advance programs you cannot even mention the question on the form (like you mentioned about question of "if you can travel in business continuously for 100 miles?" Also mentioning that during BSP you are not allowed to maintain contact with outside world should not be done.. One doesn't speak about the home work of BSP in a youtube video.. let the participants understand it when they register. Don't speak about practices which are taught in shoonya with specific names. Kindly keep these things in mind while sharing your advance program experiences..

Namaskaram Shato 🙏🏼🥰 Shubho Bijoya Dashami ☺️ the video is well done without revealing anything 😃 I am doing my Shoonya mandala… as you said it really needs commitment. It’s best to have no expectations and just do the practices as per instructions regularly as an offering 🙏🏼🥰

Thanks for sharing the facts which u came to know from swami. I can imagine by this info that how much sadguru was experimenting with the teachings in early days just for us to get most out of it. This brings tears of gratitude to my eys. Namaskaram.

It was helpful, You're doing great in your life as well as helping us.☺️😊💐

Akka, hope what you are doing will change many people life by telling your experiences. That's great akka

Yes akka. Thank you so much for this information. I am watching this video after my initiation into shonya

I think the ' 100 mile bus journey' question was asked to know if you have the patience to sit still for long hours.

I was able to attend the Shoonya program last week. So amazing! I feel so blessed!

Very helpful. I do surya kriya and Shambhavi daily so it’s a lot. Sounds like bap is the best option for not adding extra time to daily routine

Really looking forward and hoping to do the 8 day BSP in the Tennessee ashram (to learn Surya Kriya as well). Hopefully they will offer it again soon!:)

Thanks for sharing your insight! Impressive work by you! I really want to go through the BSP, Shoonya and Samyama. Maybe one day :)

Thankyou for this beautiful review. I guess the 'Shoonya Intensive' is held exclusively at Isha Yoga Center. I checked dates for the upcoming Shoonya program, but the registration is currently closed. Kindly update here, if anyone knows about the next Shoonya Intensive to be held.🙏

I watched this for the second time of months and I follow the principles better this time . Thank you❤

True. BSP is an explosive experience for many and what they are charging is so minimal. Grateful forever to Isha and Sadhguru for bringing such a beautiful program to people

It's very true... whatever u said on video.. ♥️♥️ keep it up.. looking forward for more good contents.. isha people are always the sweetest

I am very interested in doingn these advance programs. Especially shoonya. I appreciate you videos! And I really appreciate how you are as a person

How do the permanent volunteers or residents earn their living while staying in the ashram? Please reply

Namaskaram , Pls keep BSP 1st then Shoonya intensive Programme. Success will follow 👌 💯 👍 😊

Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Well explained ❤

Thanks Akka, I am planning to do all advanced programs, wish me luck😀😀😀

You have come a long way.

Waiting for the center to open.. Can't wait to join the programme.. 💯

Thank you Shato for sharing. It's really helpful. I am doing online Inner engineering & I am going to do in this order. 1. Inner engineering 2. Shambhavi 3. Shoonya 4. BSP Most of all the Sadguru app is really helpful to prepare to these practices. Please make video on this. 🙏🙏🙏

9:05 yes totally

Hi there, thank you for posting this video! I am interested in going forward and learning Shoonya sometime this coming year or in 2024 - really dependent on finding leave from work! Regarding the practice for Shoonya, do you have to do Shambhavi on top of practicing Shoonya? Or once you've learned Shoonya, can you continue Shambhavi as and when - as long as you do Shoonya on a daily basis? In addition, once you've learnt Shoonya, is it recommended to practice once daily after learnt or twice daily? Guidance on this would be helpful, and I will be emailing Isha at some point as well for further clarity. Once again, great video and thank you for informing your viewers - I did like the video!

Hi Shato, you explain this neatly. Thanks

I'm waiting to learn shambhavi mahamudra, now after watching this video I feel like learning soonaya as well... Thanks for the sharing this Btw how is your angmardana going????

Thanks a lot for the lovely review. 🙏

Aeise hi chalta raha to ho sakta he shato bahot jald Budha(the enlightened one) ho jayegi... best of luck for it. ..

Its helpful, started shambhavi mahamudra last month. Definitely I will go for both.

One and half hours of additional time daily!! Thank you Shato for informing this as this was not mentioned in Isha site. Also i learned surya kriya but was unable to maintain it daily and found it very difficult. I thought i would do shoonya as its just sitting 😅😅. I guess i have to a do lot more preparations before i go for shoonya

Glad you got the chance to take shoonya. I want to take the class sometime soon

Namaskaram 🙂🙏🏼🌻💐It's amazing to see someone is going through the process of life with Yoga... So, always 👉🏼 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you Akka.... It's very much helpful 🙏🙏🙏

Hi dear, Thank you for this video... Can you explain the difference between Surya Shakti and Surya kriya ? How can I learn Surya Kriya ?

Please make a video on the diet that is followed in the ashram.I beg you

The reason nobody is allowed to share anything about these programs by these gurus is that the techniques they teach aren't something they invented. These things are already a part of ancient Indian yoga and spiritual practices, they are all in ancient texts. These gurus just take these practices, make a sequence by combining them, give them a fancy name and trademark them. If people start telling each other and spread knowledge then these gurus won't be able to make money off of vulnerable people who are looking for basically any way to get rid of their pain. Its a whole money making scheme they have created, you have to do one program before you can do another, and the people get sucked into it one by one by one. You can't learn this before you learn at least 4 other programs they offer. Its designed to make sure you pay money every step of the way. Its a business tactic to keep a customer hooked forever and keep coming back for all their products.

Namaskaram ! I'm new to spirituality and now doing inner engineering online..you did inner engineering, bsp, and shoonya like intense programs and meditations at dhyanalinga too..I just wanted to know how was your experience..did you feel that you are not the body and mind even for a moment...

Totally helpful sis!

can you please mention the price details of ritual offerings at linga bhairavi like daha nivaranam, sarpa seva,Klesha nashakriya,vilakku seva in your next vedio...thank you😊🙏

Can uh make a video what exactly is inner engineering and all I'm damn excited for knowing all

I have been initiated into Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya. So I am looking for advance program. Which should I do first bsp or shoonya? Anyone please help me in this regards.🙏🏻

Thnx shato di for sharing the information and experiences. Your content is really inspiring Namaskaram

I can see a glow or a Tejas in your face. Good to see your hair growing😀

Akka namaskaram, i dunno if for the video that you are underplaying the possibility of shoonya, it's really a powerful meditation process, please do it as much as you do Shambhavi akka. Many are tearing apart within themselves ( includes me) that they are unable to learn shoonya. You are very fortunate. Just don't miss it akka... Do the mandala without fail. Takes a different level of involvement. Sorry if i sounded preachy.🤗

How I meet sadhguru?

I really like your videos Plz keep on sharing the ways through which we can make our life more enjoyable

Thanks a lot Akka .. Lot of clarifications.

Are we allowed to use our phones during BSP (at least a few mins daily) ??

Thanks alot it made things so much clearer

Damn! Thanks a lot for this info akka.👌😊

Thank you sooo... Much. Even I want to do both just wait for classes to start.

Namaskaram Akka 🙏 You explained very clearly about BSP&Shoonya 👍🥰

Yes, it was helpful 😊 Thank you

Thank you for the video, I wish to do both.

So you’re still expected to keep doing Shambhavi after starting with Shoonya? I mean Shambhavi itself is not just 21min. All in all it’s actually 40min. I can’t see how I could add another 1.5h to that a day.

❤ Thanks really helpful of you 🙏

@shatofor100 So I am initiated into Shoonya and am practicing all the kriyas dilligently. My only fear for BSP is people bursting out as we see during MSR and other intense meditations. In my experience, those extreme outbursts in a meditative state interferes with our own experience. Can anyone suggest how do we view it objectively without getting distracted or anguished?: )

You explained it very clearly, thank you 😊🙏 I was going for BSP in Europe last May, but that got canceled. Hopefully I will get another chance sometime in the coming years 🌸🌸

now they don't allow mobile in shoonya as well.

Very helpful your video👍

Namaste mem, Me gujrat se hu. Muje English samaj me nhi aatati aur me last 2 years se soonya & BSP hindi ke liye daily check krta hu.. but aaj tak nhi aaya... To kya English vala program krlu??? Vaha pe translation hota hai hindi me???

Totally helpful. Planning to go there by seeing your video... thanks alot

It was very helpful thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Please answer this question, shoonya is taught in the presence of sadhguru Or by volunteers

Thank you Akka, very helpful.

I wanted to know if i can stay at the ashram forever..... I just cant take it anymore.. I want to liberate myself🙏🏻

thankyou for telling for cost i really want to go for shoonya and i have my plans to design my coming life

Where to get fresh and take bath in BSP? I am going for BSP on 23/10/2023. Please reply.

Love the channel.. very inspiring

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻❤️

Akka plz do inform us when IYC is open for all courses 🙏🏼

I am undecided especially after listening to your talk. the Shoonya program is 21 days oh, and I have not been doing my practices regularly. I was accepted for July at Isha usa and I have to make a decision before tomorrow. Perhaps I need to develop.my daily practice.

Shato, what did the Swami say when you said skc and shoonya were getting into the way of your Shambhavi? Since you said Shambhavi was magical for you, do you still practice shambhavi regularly and what about shoonya and shakti chalan and yogasana and surya shakti. Thank you...

Your channel is precious ✨🙏🤗

Pls give more information about the programs in ashram

Akka do we have to do sukha kriya for straight 20 minutes of we take a gap in every 7 minutes??? Keeping the arm twisted for 20min is quite a task btw

Thank you Akka.... I am really interested to do advance programs

Di please answer you said it takes 1.30 hour for shoonya (including surya shakti + shakti chalan Kriya) So we have to do it twice for mandala so it's total 1 and half hour or 3 hours for twice

Shato ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much ❤🙏🙏

Namaskaram.....Please make a video on number of hours to be invested to complete all the Hatha Yoga programs individually and also time duration for Shambhavi, Shoonya and Samyama.....TIA

I'm watching it after doing both✨️

Are these programs are still on?? What about participants coming from outside in this situation.. When will samyama happen?

Namaskaram🙏🙏 Akka ,I am from odisha. I have completed inner engineering online. May I join BSP & shoonya program?
