In the Ashram, various types of yoga from a complex tradition are taught and practiced in a propedeutic fashion: SIDDHA SIDDHANTA YOGA is a great systematic tool for spiritual growth.

 

The siddha siddhanta yoga, not to be confused with the siddhanta of Sri Goraksanatha, is a deep and wide system of tantric yoga whose origins are found in the Siddar Saiva revelations, especially belonging to the Sri Kantar Sampradaya. It is impossible to describe the technical and philosophical richness of this system; the knowledge of mantra, yantra and mudra is elevated to the highest levels. Every technique is expressed to its highest potential to keep the body and mind in harmony.

Inside the system are innumerable techniques, touching on all the possible needs of man, depending on his physical condition, his health, his spiritual level, his thirst for knowledge, his aspirations, his devotion.
Here are some examples of the disciplines of the system used at different levels.

 

The sadhana, or exercise of discipline, is the foundation of the spiritual path and those who devote themselves to the research of reality constantly follow it. It is the most efficient way to face ourselves, examine our own life and our own actions through the bright crystal glass of observances and yoga ethics. The real sadhana, practically, is certainly not the simply methodical repetition of the learned techniques but the constant application of the yogic principles; it is the ability to catch, in any contest and situation, the precious teachings offered by life.

Sadhana can only be learned, according to the tradition, from a Master, and an Ashram is the perfect place where to receive those teachings and put them into practice. The ways are many, allowing every individual to find those that are more suitable to one’s needs and temperament.
