Module 3 out of 4 | February 7th – 9th 2025 | Nicolae Catrina (Adinathananda) | Berlin (MahaYoga Zentrum)
Starting on February 7th at around 19:00 CET and ending on February 9th at 17:30 CET.
Please be aware, that you can participate if you didn’t participate at the first and/or second module.
Patanjali’s treatise ‘Yoga Sutras’ is more than two thousand years old, but is still one of the best manuals for a harmonious and successful Yoga practice, which contains the essence of Yoga. It describes in detail the different states of meditation and spiritual awakening as well as the fundamental principles and ethics of Yoga, Yama and Niyama.
Being based on inner experience, rather than exclusively theoretical knowledge, makes this treatise effective for anyone. The Tantric perspective on Yoga Sutras assists us to realise, that not only a safe and direct way to godly ecstasy (samadhi in Sanskrit) is described, but also on how to bring this elevated state of consciousness back to everyday life, outside of our Yoga practice. By achieving a deeper understanding and bringing life and depth to Patanjali’s aphorisms as well as access to the foundation of Yoga and the opportunity to experience samadhi here and now, either due to personal continuous practice or with Tantric practice in a loving couple, is what the Tantric perspective enables us to do.
The purpose of this workshop is to reveal Patanjali’s brilliant vision of this path, which is found in all spiritual traditions, the refocussing on our essential Self (Atman in Sanskrit) from our ego (ahamkara). This is done by presenting the deep understanding and intuition, which are required to unveil the secrets of the Yoga Sutras.
Practical methods, based on the original Sanskrit text, will be shared in order to:
The date of the fourth module will be announced.
Two decades ago he founded the only Kashmir Shaivism course in Europe that offers to the thousands of participants from Romania and abroad the riches and profoundness of this spiritual tradition in a unique way that is adapted to western mentality.
His deep interest for various forms of authentic spirituality and his spiritual intuition have helped him elaborate over time a series of initiatic courses, such as Tantric Alchemy, Enneagram or esoteric I-Ching. He also created a unique system for the revelation of the Essential Self, Atman, based on a supramental approach – but also a very accessible one – for the revelation of the Self (based on the enlightening esthetic experience) that has already helped thousands of aspirants take important steps towards discovering their essential divine nature.
He is the author of many books on Shaivism, Yoga, Tantra, Alchemy, initiatic art etc. He has translated many important yogic and tantric texts, such as Sundaryalahari, Shiva Samhita or Gheranda Samhita. He exclusively offers in his Shaivism courses numerous traditional, esoteric works, such as Shiva Sutra, Spanda Karika, Vijnana Bhairava Tantra etc., as well as their practical, deeply transforming knowledge in a new, innovative way.
