Some of the programs offered in Dhayna Camps:
-
Vigyan Bhairav Tantra
The Vigyan Bhairav Tantra (Sanskrit: विज्ञान भैरव तन्त्र,
Vijńāna Bhairava Tantra) is a key text of the Trika
school of Kashmir Shaivism. Cast as a discourse between
Shiva and his consort Devi or Shakti, it briefly
presents 112 meditation methods or centering techniques
(dharanas).[1] These include several variants of breath
awareness, concentration on various centres in the body,
non-dual awareness, chanting, and visualisation and
contemplation through each of the senses. A prerequisite
to success in any of the 112 practices is a clear
understanding of which method is most suitable to the
practitioner
-
Silence Retreats: (Antar Mauna)
Stillness and Silence are pillars on the path of
ascension of awareness. Kevala offers you the easiest
ways to attain stillness. It is achieved through intense
movement. Deep Stillness leads to deep silence. A state
where there is no mental chatter and disturbing thinking
processes.
The program combines the dynamic Shakti Chalana Kriya (a
set of powerful, purifying practices to enhance the flow
of one’s vital energy) and Antar Mauna meditation,
an effortless process of conscious non-doing. Together,
these practices stimulate the release of physical,
mental and emotional blocks and lead to a deep sense of
inner wellbeing.
As all Kevala foundation offerings, these techniques are
purely based on yogic science, and thus are suitable for
anyone, regardless of one’s religion, ethnicity, social
background, age, or gender.

Nadopasana
(Meditative journey into science of inner sounds and
music)
Nadopasana is an musical expression of intense devotion
within us. It is a form of meditative prayer that can
awaken the kundalini shakti. The power of intonations,
raagas, overtones and chanting of mantras stimulates and
energizes our inner spiritual forces. It is an important
step towards liberation of fear, pain, and other
negative emotions stored within us.
Dr. Pradeep Ullal is an adept at Nada Yoga and has
demonstrated the true power of Nada yoga sadhana.
In The Sangita Rathnakara, the opening verse
explains how nada and Kundalini are interrelated and how
this comprehension is necessary for salvation.
According to Hindu sastras, Naabhi, Hrith, Kanta, Rasana,
and Naasa are the sources of sound which originate from
the Mooladhara . The recognition of this Mooladharaja
naada is itself moksha says Sri Thyagaraja in the
Sankarabharanam kriti, Swara Raga Sudharasa. In this
connection, it is interesting to note that Sir John
Sparrow, in his book titled, Serpent Power, equates
Kundalini with endogenous sound. The identification of
the correct srutis as the home of the swaras is also
important for experiencing moksha or liberation “Saptha
Swarmula Grhuhamula guruthe mokshamura.” The worship of
pure sound emanating from within you and identifying
yourself with it and being in consonance with it is
liberation or moksha.
Nada Yogi stresses the importance of recognizing and
developing the ability to experience Mooladhara nada,
but also more specifically inspires aspirants to
practice sangitopasana as a means and prelude to
enjoying nadopasana.
According to Yoga sastras, we humans are a
microcosmic image of the universe. This universal energy
that each human carries within oneself is the Kundalini.
The Kundalini lies dormant until awakened. The object of
certain forms of yoga is to awaken this dormant force
and to let it lead us to the path of salvation.
Liberation, therefore, is unity with the universe from
which we originated; the individual spirit becomes part
of the universal spirit. It is the highest experience
that a yogi to a saint to an ordinary individual is
striving to reach. One of the yogic approaches that
awakens the Kundalini is the nada or nadopasana or
devotion through singing and music.
