THE RETREAT IN A NUTSHELL
The retreat is a rare and potent combination of Hatha and Vedanta where you will experientially discover the secret principles of Hatha Yoga, and equip yourself to practice Bhairava Tantra – a Meditative process designed to instill Self-inquiry.

Why You Should Attend...
Traditional Indian systems emphasize Detoxification where we facilitate the body to undergo deep cleansing – at the cellular level and beyond.
Such cleansing can bring about a profound sense of ease and exuberance in your system, leaving you naturally meditative!

Detoxification
This is what happened to me because of a Yogic-Ayurvedic detox, and it can happen to you too!
Explore Hatha Yoga
There is much more to Yoga than muscle stretching and slow breathing!
While it is widely acknowledged that Hatha Yoga is not just about bending and twisting your body, the subtleties which actually characterize ‘Hatha’ are often missing or oversimplified in modern Yoga studios.
Hatha is a well-calibrated system to defrost one's energy body and sensitize the Chakras, or the Energy centers.
Don't worry! The practices are quite simple. And yet intensive enough.
Come and explore the core principles of “Hatha”, and be ready to be surprised to know the secrets that your body has been murmuring to you all along!
Learn Bhairava Tantra
A potent meditation technique extracted from the ancient text Vijnana Bhairava Tantra.
Several ancient texts such as the Upanishads, Tantra texts, and Bhagavadgita repeatedly hint at a particular principle of meditation. The details provided therein, however, are rather cryptic.
But when backed by Hatha yoga sadhana, the secrets of this Tantra become amply clear to the practitioner.
A combination of few simple steps, this technique uses the body, breath, and sound to offer one a practical means to taste the Stillness that is the goal of all Vedanta – the Ending of Knowledge.

Inquiry Into Life...
Have you not ever wondered as to what is this all about?
Inquiry sessions will draw from my book, and will adhere to the same spirit – no abrupt magical words dropping from the heavens, no convolutions of the intellect, nor any conclusions asserted just because someone said something.
You will engage in plain uncompromising inquiry, where you are true to yourself, and let Clarity dawn of its own accord.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE BOOK
Shruthi BS
(India)
I have read many spiritual books but this has been very different and also more impactful. Perhaps because instead of giving you a ready answer, it deepens your questions.
(Bulgaria/US)
Highly recommending. I wish everyone would read it.
Bal Santiago
(Brazil)
Vasudeva has a beautiful ability to bring out, provocatively and relaxedly, existential reflections.
