Berdhanya Teachings

In the language of energy and consciousness, the central channel is more than a pathway—it is the spine of your divinity. It unites the positive and negative charges of Earth and sky, acting as the holder of all chakras, both inside and outside the body. It is the stabilizer of the heart, and the coherence […]

The human heart is more than a pump. In the language of energy and consciousness, it is the central stabilizer of your multidimensional being—a tuning apparatus that phase-locks your internal rhythms with the harmonic field of resonance that underlies all reality.

In today’s hyper-connected world, it’s easy to mistake our self-image—the collection of labels, experiences, and social approvals—for our true identity. We cling to this image because it feels like who we are. But in reality, it’s just a mask. The real “I” is the awareness behind the experiences, not the sum of our labels. The […]

Happy Mother’s Day! Being a mother is a sacred journey, but it can also bring big feelings. This article shares five golden rules to help you walk your path with peace and power.

Fasting has been practiced for millennia across cultures and spiritual traditions. Today, it is also supported by scientific research for its profound effects on physical and mental wellbeing. This article explores both the spiritual and scientific dimensions of fasting, offering practical protocols and evidence-based benefits. Types of Fasting Intermittent Fasting Intermittent fasting (IF) is an […]

Shadow work is more than just self-reflection—it is a sacred alchemy guided by lineage, presence, and breath. The Shadow Priestess path offers a layered approach to integrating our deepest distortions, not by banishing darkness, but by returning it to coherence. Below, you’ll find an expanded, step-by-step protocol, enriched with real-life examples and practical applications. The […]

Humans react strongly to certain statements because they trigger core emotional and identity structures. These statements often bypass logic and go straight to the nervous system, activating defence, shame, or contraction. To fully understand why certain statements are so reactive, we need to look not only at the words themselves, but also at the core […]

The illusion that we are separate undermines our sense of belonging, our cellular unity, and the physiology of our existence. We need to examine this paradox closely: on the one hand, we feel separate, and on the other, we have never left the field of creation. Separation from the whole of creation is not a […]

“The perception of fraternity is a quality of the heart that is mature, detached and secure in what it belongs.” Fraternity, in the spiritual sense, is not just about brotherhood in the social or familial sense—it is the recognition of the One Self dwelling equally in all beings. It is the consciousness of inner unity, […]

What is compassion? Compassion is the ability to feel and respond to others’ suffering with understanding, care, and a desire to help. It’s more than empathy (feeling what another feels); it’s empathy plus action. Compassion involves: Awareness of another’s pain, emotional resonance with their experience, a wish to alleviate their suffering, a willingness to act, […]

What is a human? More than ever, we are invited to reflect on our humanity as a collective force as well as a field that plays a role in the divine cycles. By reflecting on our race capacities, roles and potentialities, we can direct our energies to a place of balance.  A human is not […]

Satsang Santa Veronica, Colombia, April 2025 Namaste, and welcome to our gathering. I’m grateful you’re here with us in this beautiful Caribbean setting. Today, we’re joined by a student who brings heartfelt questions about love, devotion, and relationships—questions that might help you reflect on your own heart and how you connect with others. Avoidance of […]

What Is Independence? Independence is the ability to act, think, and make decisions without being submissive to the opinions of others. Real independence arises when there is no victim or tyrant with us. It’s about self-reliance and autonomy. From our perspective, independence is seen as a necessary phase in the evolution of consciousness—it’s the moment […]

On any spiritual path, you encounter the power and purification of the distortion of the life force. This life force is one of the trinity of the source, allowing the impermanent world to manifest and enabling the soul to take shape in form. Let’s examine the qualities of this power and how it influences your […]

In the context of the Upanishads, the term vidyā (Sanskrit: विद्या) means “knowledge,” “learning,” or “wisdom.” In Vedantic philosophy, particularly within the Upanishads, vidyā refers to spiritual knowledge or insight that leads to liberation (moksha). The plural “vidyās” generally refers to different methods, disciplines, or approaches to attaining higher knowledge and self-realization. This divine attribute, […]

From Full moon ceremony Nov. 2025 Namaste. In today’s class, we will embark on a journey in two phases. The first phase involves sharing teachings that will help us understand the purpose of this moon.

Satsang from silence retreat Sept. 2018 This comment was given after students broke their silence. Berdhanya: It’s ok to speak. Turn your impulse to speak into an awareness. Who is speaking? Who wants to speak? Why does it need to speak?

[:es]El momento presente no tiene nada que ver con el tiempo. Lo que llamamos presente es una dimensión, una banda energética, donde los puntos de referencia hacia lo que llamamos pasado o futuro; desaparece.

[:es]El corazón es la fuente de todo placer duradero, de toda la alegría y de toda la luminosidad. La energía del corazón, es la más poderosa en la existencia, es la forma de todos. Es en el movimiento de la materia y la quietud del no importa. Todo está allí, reposando en el vacío de […]

[:es]La estructura de nuestro ser, tanto energética como material, está diseñada para evolucionar, crecer y expandirse a todos los niveles. Este deseo natural de crecimiento está en todos nosotros. A nivel físico tenemos ambiciones de aprender, acumular posesiones o expresar nuestros potenciales en la tierra. A nivel de la “no forma”, tenemos el deseo de […]

[:es]Sacado del curso el valor de la autoestima. Hoy vamos a estudiar la parte de la autoestima que esta apoyada sobre el afecto personal y como la poca autoestima personal esta basada en la poca comunicación que tenemos en expresar nuestra necesidad de tener afecto.

[:es]Cada experiencia crea conceptos, que a su vez crean un valor, reforzando nuestros sistemas de creencias y conduciendo nuestro sentido de lo bueno o malo, y el bien y el mal. La adicción a la creación de experiencias constantes que te desvía de la inmensidad del SER y tu conciencia dinámica. La adicción a saber, […]

[:es] Sacado del libro, “Los derechos Internos”. Cuando llegamos a entender la verdadera naturaleza de nuestra identidad, nos sorprendemos no por la experiencia de la iluminación, sino por su sencillez. Podemos ver que todos los esfuerzos anteriores para ser Uno con lo divino, para progresar, para sanar y mejorar uno mismo eran simplemente ejercicios para […]

[:es]  El sentido de debilidad, la inseguridad interior y el poco valor personal nace a partir de una duda mental. Esta duda te hace miedoso vulnerable e inseguro.

[:es](Satsang del curso “germinacion de la autoestima” Noviembre 2017) Cuando hablamos de autoestima , nos estamos dirigiendo hacia una exploración dinámica de nuestro valor interior. Estamos invitando a todas nuestras partes a un estado de compasión y de atención, y hacia los diferentes estados de desarrollo que están dentro de nuestra cosmología.

[:es]Satsang Nov. 2017 En el proceso de la autoestima, hay un aspecto que es el respeto propio. El valor que nos damos, en lo que somos, en lo que hacemos, en lo que sabemos y en como lo expresamos, son aspectos que generalmente contemplamos para hacer un apreciación de nuestro valor personal. Esta evaluación, sin […]

[:es]Cuando alguna de las historias que formas en tu cabeza toca el cuerpo emocional comienzas a girar con la conmoción. El entrelazamiento de la mente y el cuerpo emocional realmente producen el tipo de percepción que elijas tener. Si en tu mente se crea la historia de ser una víctima, tu cuerpo emocional buscará coincidir […]

[:es]La complicidad del corazón con todos los seres humanos, es expresada por un vínculo colectivo. Toda la humanidad comparte el mismo corazón, la misma necesidad de ser amado, ser reconocido y ser útil. Este vínculo también está ligado al corazón de la Tierra que comunica su viaje hacia el todo y la iluminación con todos […]

Satsang, September 5 Ottawa In this unit of the teachings, we are entering into a semester that will deal with the Autochthonous Light. This is the theme of the semester.

[:es]El pequeño corazón es la manera de percibir y experimentar la densidad en la tierra. Se percibe la realidad de forma estrecha y de forma personal. En un cierto sentido, el pequeño corazón no entiende las dinámicas de la tierra y sigue los consejos de nuestro auto- interesado ego. El pequeño corazón ve una realidad […]

    The Mistake of Improving Communication Through a Formula Satsang by Berdhanya October 28,2005 As I read books about suggestions on how to improve communication, I am more and more convinced that such suggestions paralyze your mind and prevent you from real contact. In these books, a “master in communication” will tell you what […]

[:es]El verano tiende a elevar el fuego interno (pitta) causando dolores de cabeza, inflamaciones en los tejidos y exceso de sudor. La naturaleza es sabia y nos rodea en tiempo de verano con plantas y frutas que nos ayudan a balancear el pitta dosha.

[:es]Por: Scott Gerson,M.D., Ph.D. (Ayu) El concepto de inmunidad en Ayurveda cautiva en muchas de sus facetas. Vyaadksamatva como es conocida en Ayurveda significa literalmente “resistencia (ksamatva) contra la enfermedad (vyaadhi). La resistencia física y mental a la enfermedad es muy importante para todos los seres vivientes; y regula la prevención contra las enfermedades y su […]

[:es]Por Isabela Blanchet A medida que la vibración de la Tierra cambia, más y más personas se vuelven sensibles a la transmutación de la energía. La mejor prueba de ello se puede notar en la explosión de la cantidad personas que pueden ven o percibir el aura,

[:es]Las leyes del amor humano Nacemos del amor, vivimos y crecemos gracias al amor, buscamos el amor y anhelamos amor. Para nosotros, el amor es siempre un fenómeno incompleto. Necesitamos entender el principio de la no-completitud para sentirnos en paz y para dejar de pensar acerca de obtener lo inalcanzable.

The ego rebels towards structure. The main function of the ego is to impose on you a frequency that is below or above the divine. In the ego sense, all you want is to win, to be right and to maintain your own private sense of control.

Inner awakening has many “facets” and many “regions” within and outside our cosmology. The seeker needs to be clear about these different regions in order to apply the correct understanding and required actions. Region One: All that facilitates experiences This region is our concrete reality; it includes our physical body, our relationships, our emotions and […]

Many of us are stuck in the conviction that we need to trust in order to let go, to move into our power and to reclaim our potential. We put the word “trust” on a pedestal and we circle around it without understanding its nature and its role in our structure. Are we born trusting? […]

[:es]El ego crea las historias, el pequeño corazón las siente y la mente pequeña cree en ellas. Esto da nacimiento al pequeño yo. Cuando vivimos de las conversaciones del pequeño yo creamos una enorme energía estática. Este campo de energía toma la forma de sí mismo; Toma todo nuestro estado mental, emocional y etérico del […]

To properly understand relaxation, we need to understand “the who” that is relaxing. The different personas that we have adopted and are identified with cannot relax. They are attached to performance-based model, to “the right way” to be, or to the pursuit of emotional satisfaction. Attachment to any persona will never allow you to relax. These personas are never at ease with what […]

[:es]Cada experiencia de la vida crea conceptos mentales, que a su vez crean un valor,(bueno o malo) reforzando así nuestros sistemas de creencias y conduciendo nuestra percepción hacia un estado polarizado. ( Soy buena o mala, puedo pero, no debo).Lo importante es observar la adicción a la creación de experiencias constantes.

By Matthew Cosgrove There are seemingly endless, subtler and subtler layers of reality, so the images of The Archetypal mind, depending on which level they are from may vary or even conflict, but they are all true. This contributes to the paradoxes we encounter in the Spirit world, where the greater truths understand that while […]

A Spiritual Paradox is where two seemingly contradictory truths can exist right next to each other and yet both be true. Living in a state of paradox is to allow the mind to accept its true role and position in the structure of being, in service to the Self. Inevitably, the relationship between you and […]

By Berdhanya In the void of the heart are only stillness and a sensation of emptiness and nothingness. In the pure heart there is no movement, attachment or desire. There is a “non-interest” for the life of the world, yet a total interest in sharing Love. This is one of the dynamics of the mystic […]

Sooner or later the seeker arrives at a place in which all in creation is reflected, felt and lived as a pure awareness. Tears naturally jump out of the eyes in this blissful, detached space of witnessing. It is a feeling of vulnerability; however, there is great power and safety imparted by this deep partnership. […]

[:es]En el vacío del corazón sólo existe la quietud y una sensación de vacío y de nada. En el corazón puro no hay movimiento, apego o deseo. No hay un “interés” para la vida del mundo, pero si hay un total interés en compartir el amor. Esta es una de las dinámicas del místico corazón […]

[:es]La crítica es la voz del ego exaltado. El ego exaltado piensa que es mejor que otros y que vincularse o conectarse con otros es una amenaza. La crítica tiene como objetivo separarte de otros. Si miras al otro como no tan bueno o no tan perfecto como tú quieres, estás afirmando tu superioridad. Bajo […]

Experiences facilitate our spiritual awakening. Meditation organizes the brain to cope with and to distinguish the language and laws of the world of experiences. While we are in form, we need to realize we are bound to obey the dance of the five elements, their cycles and mostly what they request from us.  Here are […]

It is no mystery that our modern society only uses ten percent of the human brain’s capacity. It still amazes me, knowing all that civilized humans have accomplished—flight, space-travel, wireless communication, organ transplants, cloning, powerful weapons, population control, robotics and sophisticated machines. And it is not a mystery that meditators stretch this ten percent of […]

[:es] Por Berdhanya. Sacado del libro Derechos Internos. La vida es delicada y sofisticada. Es lenta en comparación con la velocidad de la mente y sus deseos irreales que exigen ser satisfechos inmediatamente. La vida da sólo lo que somos capaces de manejar y de entender. Cuando empujamos la vida con expectativas o formas poco […]

[:es]Porque el amor no es un sentimiento, sino la esencia misma de nuestra existencia, somos incapaces de hacer una práctica; como “Necesito amar a todos”.

Nature is loving to all of us at all times, especially when we consider our self in difficult times. When someone we love dies, when we are ill or simply when we are requested to move from one state of growth to another, nature is behind the movement. Nature is reinforcing, supporting and directing us […]

[:es]Restaurar la soberanía es simple cuando tienes las herramientas para anclarte a tu núcleo. El problema es que el concepto de la herramienta que usualmente tenemos está ligado al realizador, al actor y al forzoso ser que quiere resultados. La meditación es una herramienta, pero también es un estado natural del ser. Es verdaderamente un […]

Inner awakening has many “facets” and many “regions” within and outside our cosmology. The seeker needs to be clear about these different regions in order to apply the correct understanding and required actions. Region One: All that facilitates experiences This region is our concrete reality; it includes our physical body, our relationships, our emotions and […]

Whatever you think spiritual awakening is, it is either incomplete or wrong. We have decorated our spirituality with myths, with concepts and with convenient protocols to feel good, to be good and to do well.

[:es]La mayoría de la gente tiende a relacionarse con el miedo como una emoción que limita el despliegue de su desarrollo básico. Hoy vamos a contemplar el miedo desde diferentes ángulos para que pueda obtener una perspectiva sobre la esclavitud oculta de miedo.

You have no choice but to interact with your reality. By understanding that you are truly interacting with your creation, you are empowered to connect, to actualize and to mature thought through self- responsibility. You may think you are here on earth to make great things happen that your mind values as important or valid. […]

[:es]El auto respeto es un acto de valor, donde se defiende lo que ya sabemos y no comprometemos nuestra energia, sabiduria y presencia.[:]

[:es]Echemos un vistazo de cerca a la naturaleza de la confianza y el sentido que hemos estado dando a la misma.[:]

To obey what you know is an act of faith, an act of courage and an act of humbleness.

Challenges are given each day in different ways and in different frequencies.

[:es]Estos tips te ayudan a enfriar el calor interno.[:]

Caring involves a global vision where you are aware that you play an important and fundamental role in creation.

[:es]La mente que esta acostumbrada a ver la realidad en forma de opuestos

A striking truth pierces your heart when you realize that nature has always respected you, cared for you and directed you — all the way through your inner journey. This great perfection and love from Creation overwhelms the heart with gratitude, destroying any little problems that your mind may want to entertaining you with. Allow […]

The human capacity to adapt, and to avoid pain had a counterpart that is dangerous because it has guided the mind to be unaware or uninformed about the truth of the human condition.

[:es]Conforme progresamos en nuestro viaje espiritual, en un momento dado tenemos que soltar lo que sabemos.[:]

[:es]El único camino para saltar sobre estas tensiones internas y no resueltas, es trascender la mente misma.[:]

Moon and solar infusions are spiritual or energetic practices where water, crystals, or other objects are exposed to the light of the moon or the sun to “infuse” them with celestial energy. Moon infusions are a way to connect with the heavens and the Earth. They use water and flowers to hold the moon’s energy. […]

To truly appreciate the power of thailams, one must understand the extraordinary precision behind their preparation. Ayurvedic oil making is not casual herbal infusion — it is a pharmaceutical process refined over centuries. Traditional medicated oils are prepared through a classical method called Sneha Paka, a controlled cooking process designed to transfer herbal potency into […]

Every time I visit India for my annual Ayurveda purification, my doctor gives me this sweet wine as a body preparation. In my particular case, it is a wine made of raisins and other components. In Ayurveda, these fermented medicated formulas are classified as arishtasavas. Due to its fermentation properties, it is readily absorbed by […]

Bhaishajya Kalpanaa is the pharmaceutical science of Ayurveda — the art and discipline of transforming raw natural substances into effective, safe, and bioavailable medicines. While Ayurveda is often appreciated for its herbal wisdom, it is Bhaishajya Kalpanaa that determines how those herbs become therapeutically active. This branch of knowledge is both simple and profoundly sophisticated. […]

Prayers are a soft and intimate recognition of our location in the cosmos. Prayers acknowledge our existence in an elevated and personal way.  This prayer enhances your devotion, inner relation and connection with the five elements.- It purifies and elevates your food to a pure vibration ( sattva) Prayer before you eat: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter IV, […]

One of the components I love of Ayurveda art and science is the attunement to the earth’s changes. For example, it considers the proper time, hour and season to collect medicines, change diet, go into purification and even when conceiving a child. The art and science of considering the changes of seasons are called ritucharya. […]

The ear is the organ of sound and equilibrium with the function of the transmission and transduction or the conversion of sound waves into electrochemical impulses to the brain. It also maintains equilibrium or the sense of balance (middle ear). This is done through the parts of the ear: the outer ear, the middle ear […]

Prioritizing oral health ensures that our teeth and gums remain as intact as possible, rendering dental visits less scary, less painful, and minimally invasive while simultaneously supporting robust overall health and well-being. Ayurvedic oral hygiene practices also enhance the sense of taste, support detoxification, encourage optimal digestive strength, and bolster immunity. This resource is meant to […]

From the moment of our birth to the moment of death, we are always breathing. Our breath rhythm, length and softness change depending on our emotions, thoughts and physical conditions. For a balanced and vital life, the quality of breath is fundamental. Understanding the layers and impact of breath may help you bring more consciousness […]

Dinacharya is a daily routine. A beautiful ritual for self-care and honouring your nature. In times of pandemic, Ayurveda suggests a daily practice to keep your frequency up, your immune system intact, and your home sparkle clean.  I want to give you ayurvedic tips and suggestions you can do every day to propose to yourself […]

When a person is in an unconscious state, we start rubbing the feet and hands of the person. Think for a while about why the hands and feet of the person are rubbed unknowingly; we are stimulating the marma points located in the bottom of the hand and feet. The stimulation of marma points is […]

This beautiful spot in your body works faithfully for you to keep your muscles strong and vital. The Kakashadhara marma is the first marma in the upper extremity. The ‘kaksha’ region refers to the root of the arm (armpit). The word ‘dhara’ means bearing or holding. The name ‘kakshadhara’ suggests this marma site is located […]

What is Rasayana? Rasayan is a Sanskrit word meaning path (āyana) of essence (rasa). It is an early ayurvedic medical term referring to techniques for lengthening lifespans and invigorating the body. Ayurveda teaches that anything supporting and nourishing the blood (known as ‘RASA” the root of Rasayana) and supporting the tissues and immune system would be called a Rasayana […]

Your belly button holds mysteries of your birth, the vitality of your emotions and the force that organize and manage your life. It is also the center of inner fire, of your will and the transformation of matter. Yoga is relating this center to the 3rd chakra, and it is also called the seat of […]

Purification of the skin is a pleasurable and straightforward procedure. The skin is always in contact with the environment and is associated with vatta dosha, sexuality, connection, and it is the ” larger lung” of the body. Ayurveda uses dry powders to massage the body, fortify the skin and purify excess fat tissues in the […]
