Navaratri - 9 nights of Tantric Devi puja, daily havans and devi mantra chanting is declared by the ancients to be an auspicious and an ideal time to deepen your commitment to sadhana for reconnecting and redirecting attention to the higher purposes in life. At this time there is an abundance of grace flowing towards the earth and all beings.

The Navaratri sadhana over 9 nights connects us with the visual beauty of the Devi in the external form and gradually turns us to the beauty and grace of the inner form of devi residing within.

Rishi Vivekananda (40~ KB)

In this seminar Rishi Vivekananda will compare and contrast the psychological principles of Yoga with Western psychology and psychiatry.

He will teach many of the principles and practices which make Yoga Psychology such a vast system of philosophy, lifestyle and techniques that can augment and improve the limitations of the Western system.

Rishiji will indicate how we can seamlessly integrate the yoga principles and practices into an ongoing psychotherapeutic or psychiatric practice, as he did for many years.

This program is designed for professional people who are giving psychotherapy or counselling, are students of those fields, or even for those who just wish to improve their mental and emotional functioning, and gain mastery over some aspects of their lives.
