Tantra Meditation Retreat with Ma Anand Sarita & Sw.Suta Bodhisatva

This retreat is designed for both couples and singles. It is a powerful way to dive into our expansive potential through the 12 facets of Tantra. The group structure includes group sharing and periods of silence, quiet and active meditations, movement and dance, Tantra rituals and group/partner exercises. It is very special to have the opportunity of bringing together both Indians and Westerners in this Retreat, bringing Tantra back to its source in the Himalayas. Indians have the opportunity of proudly embracing their phenomenal spiritual heritage. As east and west melt together in this group, we discover the power of Tantra to create a union of opposites, bringing enrichment to all.

During this retreat we practice Tantra methods, taken from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, a 5000 year old scripture comprised of 112 methods for the expansion of consciousness. The retreat is offered one time per year. Each year for three consecutive years, we offer one third of the 112 methods. This means, over a three-year period, you have the opportunity of practicing most of the methods offered in the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. You can enter this three year stream wherever it suits you. There is no sequential order to follow. You can likewise, participate in just one or two of the retreats. There is no commitment required to participate in all three.
The build-up, refinement and transformation of many facets of life force energy during this retreat invite an orgasmic awareness of one's full sensual being. Within a few days, you may sense an on-going ecstatic connection between body and soul, matter and spirit. It is a rare opportunity to explore these powerful Tantra methods, in a highly supportive environment. In this way, we distill the nectar of our inner being to its ultimate potency.

A Newsletter from Sarita

Beloved Friends,

Friends from East and West are writing to ask me questions about The Tantra Meditation Retreat in Osho Nisarga, Dharamsala, India. I understand that Tantra is a word which brings up many fears and concerns for people as well as many hopes for a more blissful and fulfilling lifestyle.

In the Tantra Meditation Retreat, we are working with the 112 methods from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. Out of those 112 methods there are very few which involve sexuality. Most of them work with breath awareness, or the senses, or silent meditation and contemplation methods. As we work through these exquisite teachings in a group setting, we are blessed by the meeting of both ancient and modern wisdom. We learn to open ourselves to the multifaceted diamond of our being by bringing loving awareness to all that we are. Much of the retreat is held in silence, and also includes periods of group sharing where any concerns around each persons inner process can be aired and much healing can happen.

Tantra is a life approach which honors and respects all aspects of the human being, whether this be sexuality, love or spirituality. In light of this, we will be opening up and bringing consciousness to these qualities. One of the meanings of the word Tantra is: 'transforming poison into nectar.' This retreat offers the opportunity to transform our misconceptions, our fears, our judgements, and to open the flow of aliveness, love and bliss. It is very auspicious to practice The Vigyan Bhairav Tantra in Osho Nisarga, Dharamsala, India. It is like the symbol of the snake eating it's tail. Tantra returns to it's source. It is time for the phenomenal wisdom contained in this ancient scripture to be embraced by Indians as a proud part of their great heritage. And it is time for Westerners to understand and know Tantra as the spiritual path it is, leading us to our birthright of oneness and bliss.

For me personally, it is a great blessing to offer this course in Osho Nisarga. I feel Osho's presence so profoundly there. It is a homecoming. Having lived half my life in India and half my life in the west, I love
the opportunity of bringing eastern and western people together in this group. Last year, it was so beautiful to discover the flowering which happened for people as a result of this meeting. I experienced Indian people helping western people to move from the head into the heart, and western people helping Indians to open up to affectionate playfulness. I always endeavor to make sure that all people in the group feel cared for, and can at any time ask for support if they feel any meditation to be challenging or uncomfortable. I work with a talented team of highly trained apprentices and helpers and so there is a lot of nurturing for each group participant. Each person can work at their own pace and within their comfort zone.
In essence, Tantra is a spiritual lifestyle which combines the Path of Love and the Path of Awareness. What could be more glorious than to embody these spiritual principles?
