Retreat with Dharmandhi
Meditations with the Siva Sutras
Dates: July 13th-19th
Special Pricing: $450
Price includes all teachings, lodging, and food plus
Guru Purnima Celebration on July 17th.
Trika Institute will be holding this event at the
Adi-Yoga Retreat Center in Loei Province, Northern
Thailand. This is a remarkable setting - far off the
tourist path, on land that has been acquired for the
sole purpose of developing an environment for Tantrik
living and practice.
Dharmanidhi will be teaching from the Siva Sutras
- the text revealed to Vasugupta in 850CE - that forms
the cornerstone of Saivist philosophy. Dharmanidhi
will show how this text can be used not only for philosophical
understanding, but as an experiential method to liberation.
And on July 17, we will celebrate Guru Purnima! This
is the day when we honor our Guru and the Wisdom Masters
of the tradition with puja, kirtan, offerings, and
merry-making.

dedicated to bringing the classical teachings of Yoga, Tantra,
Warrior Traditions, and Ayurveda to the west in a context
that is relevant to our modern world. Trika Institute began
in 1997, when Dharmanidhi
Sarasvati, after 10 years of study, was given the mandate
by his Gurus to form
a new sect of Kasmiri Shaivite Tantra for westerners, and
to teach the classical Tantra and Yoga of India.
Trika Institute offers classes, courses,
workshops and retreats in the practice and philosophy of classical
Tantra and its associated traditions. and holds daily, weekly,
and monthly pujas and ceremonies.
Trika Institute’s site, located within
the beautiful studios of Yoga
Mandala, is a Shiva Mandir

and worship for an international community of Tantrik practitioners
known as Jñanagni Kula.
