Sri Sukta Sadhana Stage 1

The meeting point of power, fulfillment, and freedom sets tantra apart from many other paths of yoga and spirituality. It invites us to unite our inner longing with our outer life in a sacred way, giving us access to both who we are now and who we are becoming. In this spirit, Sri Sukta stands as one of tantra’s essential practices and reflects the depth of tantra vidya.

Sri Sukta is a collection of 16 mantras devoted to the Divine Mother. These awakened mantras are designed to draw abundance, nourishment, and inner richness toward us, helping us experience life more fully.

To support a complete experience of this practice, Ishan Tigunait offers two programs meant to be taken in sequence. First, participants study the mantras and their meaning in the Sri Sukta Course. Then, they bring the teachings into lived experience through Sri Sukta Sadhana Stage 1.

Sri Sukta Sadhana – Stage 1

This 80-day group practice serves as the doorway into the direct experience of what is learned in the Sri Sukta Course. Following a traditional method, participants recite Sri Sukta 10 times each day for 80 days as the foundational practice of this path. The practice is done at home, at a pace that fits daily life, while still being held within the support of a like-minded group and the strength of collective consciousness. It is intended to awaken inner joy and prosperity as understood through the vision of the seers, while also preparing practitioners for more advanced tantric practices. The at-home recitation period concludes with a special havan, a tantric ritual of sacred fire, offered either online or in person on campus.

Program Format:

• June 3rd – August 21st, 2026: 80-day at-home Sri Sukta practice
• Daily practice of 10 recitations of Sri Sukta, self-guided or supported by a recording or written sheet
• 4 online sessions during the 80-day period for satsang, Q&A, and group recitation practice
• August 21st – 23rd, 2026: concluding practice (havan), online or on campus

On Campus option (space limited)

Includes an opening session, an extended havan with 80 recitations of Sri Sukta to complete the 80-day practice, and a closing session.

Program Highlights:

• Begin or deepen your formal Sri Sukta practice as a powerful support for inner growth
• Experience Sri Sukta as a living practice, both on its own and as a catalyst for your current practice
• Build a strong foundation through an 80-day immersion
• Practice from home on your own schedule, supported by shared intention and group energy
• Complete 10 recitations daily, either in one sitting or two
• Join 4 online sessions with Ishan for inspiration, spiritual community, and guidance for questions that arise
• Each online session concludes with 10 recitations of Sri Sukta
• The practice culminates in a special havan with Panditji or Ishan, featuring 80 recitations offered to the sacred fire
• Participation is available in person or online, with live-stream access for virtual attendees
• The closing capstone weekend includes a session with Panditji and Ishan on the dynamics of Sri Sukta sadhana and the meaning of the 80-recitation havan

Lifetime access does not include the havan practices. In keeping with the sanctity and time-bound nature of these group rituals, they are available only for 14 days after the program ends.

In-person space for the closing capstone is limited, so accommodations should be booked early. Tuition for the in-person version of the closing capstone is included in the online program fee; participants simply book accommodations and pay for room and board.

Sri Sukta Sadhana Immersion (Stage 1) is an important preparation for future group practices, including Sri Sukta Sadhana Immersion (Stage 2), Maha Sri Yaga, and Prajapati Yaga.
