Purification Program at Home invites everyone, no matter your age or walk of life.
We may not have the freedom to be together at this time, but cannot be stopped from purifying, growing spiritually and feeling better about ourselves.
The Retreat is designed to flush out accumulated toxicity, interrupt obsessive patterns of thinking, and resolve buried feelings.
The detailed practices will allow you to gradually rise above the mind, make right choices, and find the joy in each day, despite external circumstances.
The stresses of life, however, often sabotage us with negative thinking, emotional issues as well as physical and environmental toxicity.
Ayurvedic dietary protocol for Purification retreat:
The retreat's dietary protocol will address allergies, skin problems, headache, joint pain, sore throat, constipation, fatigue, and other health issues.
We experience these symptoms when our lymphatic system is compromised. The ayurvedic spring protocol will help to cleanse the toxins stored in our fat cells, stabilize your mood, and increase mental clarity.
The diet is designed to enhance fat metabolism in the cells. Because fat is a stable fuel, you will experience a sense of calm when you enter the fat metabolism mode. You will have an opportunity to learn how to prepare and enjoy organic, gluten-free purifying vegetarian meals. The diet will be supplemented with cleansing and digestive herbs and supplements.
This protocol will help to detox and nourish your lymphatic system.
The customized dietary protocol, the foods and supplementation for the entire retreat will be designed for each participant depending upon their needs.
Upon completion of your registration, a list of materials recommended for the purification will be sent to you.

More information:
In the classes Sri Shyamji will introduce:
Microchakra Psychology™ and InnerTuning® practices which include potent matrika sounds, rhythms and mantras that releases blockages so the subtle body can become realigned and physical and mental health can be restored. Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar developed the InnerTuning technique and the Microchakra Psychology, a blend of ancient wisdom and contemporary psychology that explains the workings of the subtle body and how openings or blockages in the chakras can either encourage or sabotage psychological health and spiritual development.
Naada Yoga (yoga of sound)
Sounds offer specific frequencies to alter vibrations in the microchakras and through this change the neurochemical pathways of the brain. This results in feelings of peace and clarity.
Sounds of chakras
Chanting is a natural path to meditation. It liberates the mind from false identities and activates the subtle energies, reduces stress, and leads to serenity.
Sri Shyamji has the most unique voice radiating Soorya Akasha (ethereal space) which puts people in touch with a deeper state of awareness. The pure energy of the sounds chanted by Shyamji enable listeners to absorb Soorya Akasha. To be effective, mantras must be given precise pronunciation and intonation as they are invocations of latent energies of major potential.
Soorya Akasha
Akasha is the element of the fifth chakra, the source of speech, listening upon the quality of the sound, akasha will be more or less refined. Among the finest akaaha is soorya akasha. Some of the many beneficial effects of Sorya Akasha are:
• Establishes new connections among neurons
• Produces a healing effect on the immune system
• Aides integration of all three fields: causal, subtle and physical
• Reduces breathing rate
• Brings contentment to the seven chakra minds
• Integrates the left and right hemispheres of the brain
• Refines the early (reptilian and mammalian) brain
• Aides unattached observation of phenomenal world
• Stimulates opening of the sixth microchakra of the fifth chakra, the locus of the Inner Guru
• Facilitates meditation
Sri Shyamji is a master of the ancient Indian Healing arts of sound (naada) and breath (svara) which he has practiced and perfected for the last 50 years.
One of Shyamji's most important contributions to the living tradition of yoga is a diagnosis and treatment system he calls InnerTuning, which operates on subtle-body structures never before recognized in yogic literature: the microchakras. Microchakras are components of the larger chakras, the energetic vortices located along subtle channels analogous to the physical spine. When a microchakra is fully open, healing energy flows freely. The therapeutic effect is profound. Microchakras associated with sounds and mantras are known to evoke harmonious brainwaves, settling the breath and calming the mind.
Sri Shyamji will demonstrate how to use sound as a healing tool. He will chant to alter everyday awareness and increase insight into the causes of chronic ailments. Thousands of participants throughout the world have testified to the power of Shyamji's work.
Sri Shyamji learned these practices at age twelve by his Guru he met in the Himalayas. He received the knowledge of the Microchakras in one meditation, as a divine transmission. From this, unified with his mastery of Naada (sound) yoga, he created InnerTuning®, a comprehensive system for understanding and transforming human energies.

What are the Three Bodies?
Physical body: Between the cells of our physical body, there is considerable space. The other two bodies (causal and subtle, described below) pervade this space as radio waves through the "solid" walls of a room.
Subtle body: The seat of our feelings. The subtle body has seven major spinning wheels of light energy (chakras), energized by the five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air and akasha (space). Elements and combinations of elements play an essential ls role in determining how we feel. Under conditions of stress and toxicity, the elements lose their purity and potency. This may have a negative effect on our feelings. For example, when the earth element is in abundance, we feel solid and grounded, and our confidence is strengthened, while if earth is dispersed, we may feel weak and sluggish. When air is plentiful, we may feel buoyant and more loving; if polluted, it can cause us to feel uncaring.
Causal body: Where our thoughts reside. Human beings, in the process of survival, evaluate changes in their environment first in the causal body by means of thought. Thoughts generate feelings in the subtle body, which are then expressed in the physical body. Thoughts, feelings, and sensations influence one another.
How the purification affects each body?
Physical body: Physical purification sharpens all five senses (smell, taste, sight, touch and hearing). It inspires the desire to keep the body healthy. The dietary protocol is intended to cleanse the internal organs (liver, kidney, bladder, spleen, blood and intestines), strengthen the immune system, and decrease sensitivity to allergens.
Subtle Body: Purification of the subtle body cleanses our feelings and emotions. The negative ones may have been buried beneath our awareness. Sometimes, old memories from early childhood emerge. This is part of the purification process. As participants become in touch with their real feelings on a deeper level, they begin to lay the groundwork for improvement in relationships, creating contentment as competitiveness evaporates one can truly feel happy when others are also succeeding. Helping others becomes a reward in and of itself. Sri Shyamji's sounds and mantras act deeply on the subtle body, increasing awareness of the effects sounds have on body, mind and spirit. Many have reported a greater sound awareness at the retreat's end.
Causal Body: We discuss deep questions such as: "Who Am I?"; "Why Am I Here?"; and "How do I create and maintain wellness and happiness in my life?" The educational experience is empowering on many levels. The process of thinking itself may begin to feel clearer. Interest in abstract thinking naturally emerges, along with the desire to turn the senses inward (pratyahara). We chant sounds and mantras that produce Soorya (golden) akasha. This highly refined akasha pushes dense, toxic akasha out of the causal body. The absorption of Soorya akasha purifies apana, and helps to integrate the three bodies, facilitating meditation and life transformation. Consequently, the breathing rate drops dramatically and participants feel a deep sense of Self and transformation.
What is Apana?
Our three bodies are energized by five major pranas, or vital life forces. Of these five, the Apana prana is the detoxifier.
Apana prana normally operates below the navel, where it facilitates bodily functions of elimination such as urination etc. The stress of modern life putrefies Apana, however, affecting the purity of higher pranas. Therefore, different regions of the body can manifest disorders ranging from constipation to depression, memory problems to dementia, and even schizophrenia. When the apana is purified, digestion and bowel rhythm is improved, and one feels grounded, clear, stable and light.

TESTIMONIALS
from Online Purification retreat in May 21 - 26 , 2020
'Pranam Sri Shyamji: I am forever grateful for the purification classes. I am still soaking up all the energy created from the past five days, my physical body is purified, but my subtle and causal needs more work as I mentioned. I am sorry I broke down this morning. I am very sincere in my journey and it is just that my stupid mind wants to question everything and it has been hard for me to surrender. I am going to continue to do Ramava mantra for some more time and hope it will help me break the iron chain. Having proclaimed myself as an atheist at the age of 15, it is hard for me to accept anything that has religious angle and no tangible evidence. I come from a very orthodox Dvaitha Brahmin family and I rebelled against all idol worship at a young age. But, with your blessings and guidance I hope to overcome this blockage.Thank you again for everything you are doing to help people and to Marina for her unconditional love, patience and attention to details."

“… how grateful i am for the three-body purification retreat. I awoke this morning with a surge of lucidity, inspiration and overall blissful equanimity :)
It has been a year that I've been yearning to do a purification with you and was blessed to have the time...to participate. I enjoyed doing it from the comfort of home, though I certainly would have loved to connect more with the others, so i can see the benefits of both modalities."
Last December, I developed chronic pain in my left shoulder/upper arm. it was a constant dull pain and the longer it persisted, the more I worried about how it would affect my tennis and my life and even thought maybe it was something serious and I should have an mri. It seems miraculous to me, but the pain is now completely gone and I'm over the moon happy about this."

“A tale of learning…I met Sri Shyamji 22 years ago. By the grace of the Divine, I was able to have consultations and purifications with him on an annual basis. These purifications left my three bodies in the very fortunate state of being able to listen to the strongest of Shyamji’s recordings, to good effect.Twelve years ago, life brought me to a far corner of the earth, where it has been very difficult to continue the close association with Shyamji. Left to my own devices, but without purifications or guidance, I continued to pursue my practice of listening to Shyamji’s recordings. It took twelve years without attending Three Body Purifications for the effects of my indiscriminate use of mantras to manifest.Without expert guidance, I advise caution! The lesson to bring this to my attention is a painful one, it is best avoided if at all possible. To try to use words to describe the condition I was left in, is not easy. Suffice it to say that such practices, without direct guidance from the teacher, should be avoided at all costs.I had a realization that the only person wise enough to help me was Shyamji!
I feel a deep gratitude to him for suggesting that I made an effort to attend a long-needed purification. This I have now done. I am exceedingly fortunate to be able to report that it has resulted in starting me back on the road to recovery.This cautionary tale may, I hope, be for any aspirants who have the opportunity to participate in purifications, to realize their value, whether online or in-person. They are, from my experience, essential to making spiritual progress. I believe that before the higher chakras can be approached, the cleansing of the three bodies has to be attended to. ” You do not turn up at a wedding in your work clothes,” is perhaps a way of comparing it!”

"It is very special that Shyamji and Marina have found a way to give us these special classes, both on-site and now online. I have had four three body purifications in Barchem,
and I must say that this ‘3BP' at home was the best of all! This experience let me feel so close with both you and the other participants."Anja Suzon, Saswitha yoga school graduate and teacher in Moordrecht, The Netherlands.
Student of Sri Shyamji since 2014, graduate of the Chakra Institute’s four year Spiritual Teacher Training Program since 2020.
"I loved the classes, the sound work, the mantras. I agree with what some of the others have said: it was nice to be able to chant freely, without worrying about someone else judging, and to have the freedom and comfort of being at home.
I have encountered saboteurs/painful emotions, and I still do. I see the as clouds in a sun-lit sky.
I have had feelings of stillness, joy, awe and love during the sound classes, and I have sensations at the top of my head almost every time you chant, or after. I feel very grateful.You said something about a workshop to open up the voice. I would be very interested in that.
Thank you again for everything (so far)!"
Kristina, Translator, Stockholm/Sweden
”Since my first 3-body purification & advanced sounds retreat in July 2009 many pieces fell into place and I know that Sri Shyamji’s teachings and personal guidance provide the psycho-spiritual growth that I searched for. So far I have taken 15 purifications. Each one is different.I am very impressed about the effectiveness of the online purification. I highly recommend this retreat, even though nothing compares to experience Sri Shyamji’s chants live. There are special benefits to the experience from your comfortable home, the personal contact through the zoom meetings, chanting out loud on your own and learning to prepare all the recipes. Thank you so much for making this possible. I feel very fortunate and blessed to be able to make best use of this time confined to home and study under the guidance of great teachers.
