Program Description

This Sri Sukta Sadhana Immersion (Stage 1) is the doorway to experience what you just learned in the Sri Sukta Course. This 80-day group practice follows a time-honored tradition of 10 recitations of Sri Sukta daily for 80 days, as the foundational practice of Sri Sukta. Undertake this as a personal practice done from the convenience of your own home, but with the group support of like-minded seekers to benefit from the power of collective consciousness. The practice will empower you to embrace the inner joy and prosperity as seen through the eyes of the seers of Sri Sukta, and prepare you for further advanced tantric practices. Your at-home recitation practice will conclude with a powerful havan (tantric ritual of sacred fire) either in-person or online.

Program Highlights
  • Begin or deepen your formal practice of Sri Sukta, as a powerful catalyst for your inner growth.
  • Learn more about Sri Sukta as a living practice, both as a standalone practice, catalyst to your current practice, as well as a group practice to nurture collective consciousness
  • Build a solid foundation for your ongoing Sri Sukta practice with this 80-day immersion
  • 80-day group practice of Sri Sukta, comprising 10 recitations of Sri Sukta daily. Undertake the practice from your home on your own schedule, supported by the collective intention and practice of our fellow practitioners.
  • Undertake your daily practice of 10 recitations of Sri Sukta from home, either self-guided or with support from the provided recording or written sheet. These 10 daily recitations may either be done in a single sitting or in two sittings.
  • 4 online sessions with Ishan and Panditji throughout this 80-day period, for inspiration, spiritual community, and to answer questions which arise as you practice. Each of these sessions will conclude with 10 recitations of Sri Sukta.
  • Our 80-day practice culminates in a special havan with Ishan comprising 80 recitations of Sri Sukta as we make offerings to the sacred fire.
    • This practice can be done in-person, or online. If you participate online, you will have access to the live-stream video of the havan, so you can join the practice virtually in real-time.
    • The closing capstone weekend will include a session with Ishan to elaborate on the dynamics of Sri Sukta sadhana, and the nature of our 80-recitation havan as the capstone of our 80-day recitation practice.
    • Lifetime access does not include the 2 havan practices. To honor the sanctity of the invocations and time-bound nature of these group practices, they are only available for the 14-day period following the conclusion of the program.
  • Space for in-person attendance for closing capstone retreats is highly limited, so book your accommodations now (pay separately).

Book Your Room

  • Tuition for the in-person version of the closing capstone is included in your online program fee. Simply book your accommodations and pay for your room and board.

Sacred Space
The Sri Vidya Shrine is the spiritual heart of the Himalayan Institute. This sanctuary offers an ideal setting for silent meditation and group spiritual practice, a cornerstone of the Himalayan Tradition for thousands of years. Open to seekers of all backgrounds and traditions, the Shrine provides a serene, sacred space for meditation, quiet reflection, prayer, and contemplation.
Nourishing Meals
Our nutritionally balanced vegetarian meals are thoughtfully prepared to nourish body, mind, and spirit. Each of our three daily meals is designed to be easily digestible and to support a meditative lifestyle. Sharing meals here naturally fosters connection, offering both deep nourishment and a sense of community.
Loving Community
The Himalayan Institute welcomes people from all walks of life. With a blend of short-term guests, long-term visitors, and a vibrant residential community, the atmosphere here is warm, inviting, and rooted in kindness, generosity, and service. It’s a place where friendships form naturally, often becoming the kind of connections that feel like family, and last a lifetime.
Rest in Nature
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Poconos, the Himalayan Institute’s 400-acre campus offers breathtaking views, scenic hiking trails, and quiet spaces for reflection and contemplation. Walking is a favorite activity, whether along our groomed trails or meandering paved roads, inviting both movement and mindful presence in nature.
Conscious Simplicity
At the Himalayan Institute, we embrace simplicity in all aspects of life, from our surroundings to our approach to yoga. By minimizing distractions, we create space to strengthen the inner self and quiet the mind. Guided by authenticity and grounded in philosophy rather than frills, we support a path of meaningful personal growth.
