Traditional Tantra Ganesh Sadhana Workshop

Step into an authentic immersion in ancient Tantric practice, guided through a living lineage and supported by group energy throughout the journey.

This workshop offers a profound introduction to Ganesh sadhana, including the creation of a Ganesh Yantra and daily meditation with a dedicated mantra for this energy. Each day also includes a Yagna (fire ceremony) focused on the different qualities of Ganesh, along with Aarti and bhajans. These practices come from the right-handed Tantra tradition of Shivoham Tantra.

As part of the sadhana, participants also take a holy bath in the River Ganga each day.

Yorgos and Radasi Aryavrat are experienced and initiated Tantric guides. Radasi has been under close guidance from Guruji for more than 15 years and has been leading groups every year in Rishikesh since 2015. Yorgos has been initiated in Traditional Tantra for 11 years. Both have spent extensive periods at the ashram and have supported Maha Kundalini processes, bringing grounded care to each person on the Tantric path.

YANTRA & MANTRA

A Yantra is a geometric design that holds divine energy on both the astral and physical planes. Its patterns symbolize different aspects of universal forces. The central point represents the infinite beyond form, while the four gates around the edge represent the four directions. In Navaratri, seeds are planted into the earth so the Goddess energy can grow through the life of small plants.

In Tantra, mantra is the sound vibration of the specific energy being worked with. In Navaratri, this is always connected with an aspect of the divine feminine. Repeating the mantra with the support of the Yantra helps build this beneficial frequency within, purifying and strengthening inner embodiment of divine energy.

MEET YOUR TEACHERS

Yorgos Aryavrat

Yorgos began meditating at seventeen and gradually deepened his spiritual path through Orthodox mysticism and Gnostic Christianity. More drawn to direct experience than intellectual study, he later received initiation into the Kriya Yoga lineage, where the practices further enriched his inner journey. As an initiated teacher of Shivoham Tantra, he offers in-depth meditation retreats with a calm, steady presence that helps people feel at home.

Radasi Aryavrat

Radasi is deeply inspired by pristine nature and sacred connection. A seasoned Tantric practitioner, she has devoted 28 years to Yogic exploration and lives the practices she shares. Her path brings together yoga, Traditional Tantra, meditation, ritual, holistic living, and mental health awareness as one integrated way of revealing natural presence. She has taught Hatha Kundalini Yoga and Tantra since 2007, and also serves as a counsellor and spiritual guide with a grounded, loving approach.
