			This site is devoted to
          presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of
          the Tradition of the Himalayan masters
          in simple, understandable and beneficial ways, while not compromising
          quality or depth. The goal of our sadhana or practices is the highest 
			Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the 
			center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is 
			one and the same with the Absolute Reality. 
			This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the Yoga 
			Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the 
			intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which 
			complement one another like fingers on a hand. 
			We employ the classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti 
			Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha, 
			and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer 
			finally converge into a unified force directed towards the final 
			stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the 
			Absolute.
