Sakshi Bhava Sadhana Workshop

Awakening the Inner Witness – A Journey into Timeless Stillness

Course Overview:

The “Sākṣī Bhāva Sādhana Workshop” is a deeply transformative spiritual journey that unveils the subtle art of witness consciousness — the pure, silent observer within. Rooted in ancient yogic and Vedantic traditions, this sādhanā empowers seekers to transcend the turmoil of thoughts, emotions, and identifications with the body-mind complex. By awakening the Sākṣī Bhāva (the inner Witness), one begins to rest in equanimity, awareness, and inner silence — the true essence of the Self (Ātman).

Whether you’re a novice seeker or an advanced meditator, this workshop offers a structured and sacred space for profound inner discovery.
