I thoroughly enjoyed this interview by a London-based daily newspaper. I hope you enjoy reading this interview as much as I enjoyed being interviewed. There is increasing interest in this deep soul-searching subject, especially given the growing unrest and suffering in the world.

I got a lovely 🥰 message on my iPhone this morning. It’s spring 🌺 As winter draws to an end, we look forward to the new. Spring cleaning is an old tradition. In yoga we speak of letting go that which is not useful. What can you let go off today?

FREE ebook with tips on systematic practice leading from external to internal, from gross to subtle, from the many to the ONE 😊

The process of systematic meditation practice described in this overview is for the purpose of Self Realization. It may have benefits at a physical level but its purpose is not to promote physical culture or therapeutics.

Satsang is like sunshine. A ray of sunlight on a cold, cloudy day makes you smile. Working on the yoga sutras commentary (to be published in April 2025) would not have been possible without the beautiful rays of sunlight that motivated me through the seemingly endless two years of intense contemplation and reclusive silence. These rays of light are long time practitioners of the Samaya Srividya tradition: Sreeram Ramamoorthy, Manisha Shahane, Joachim Grouven, Roshna Raj and Surabee Rai. Thank you for all the time and effort. It wouldn’t have been possible without this alliance!

The Self Realization Program (SRP) is a life-long learning program for those who want to know themselves. “Know Thyself” is a direct path. While I have been teaching exclusively in this lineage since 1996, I developed this program in 2015. Since then I have been leading online meetings and mentor sessions (long before the pandemic) for aspirants of self-knowledge. The SRP is about both the lower self and the higher Self. The lower self is the mind and the higher Self is Individual Consciousness. The SRP is for those who seek complete knowledge of both.

I have a wonderful life and am very grateful for all the gifts I have received from Swamiji and this tradition in many different forms. 🙏🏽 I want to share these gifts not only with my students and others in this lineage but to a wider audience. As some of you know, I have published a book called Mastering Pranayama based on the practices of this lineage. In April, I am publishing my next book about the mysteries of life, death and liberation based on the teachings of Swamiji. With the help of my students am I planning to publish a series of such books for the modern aspirant in the years to follow.
I have contemplated on the quote below over the decades, since I first noticed it in the dining hall of Sadhana Mandir, Swamiji's ashram in Rishikesh. It is the inspiration behind my next book, a commentary on The Yoga Sutras.

The perception of yoga in the West and even in modern India is that yoga is a sport or some kind of exercise. While this report by the BBC on yoga therapy expands the current definition of yoga, it is still limited to the body and the use of techniques like asanas, breathing and basic meditation for purposes of health and well-being. What is missing is the system of yoga that leads to self-knowledge and finally Self Realization. It is only with self-knowledge that we can learn how to maintain our mental and physical health.

Yoga has been found to physically alter your brain in ways which could bring a multitude of physical and mental health benefits.

I have been leading online meetings since 2014. Ten years ago most people didn't understand how I could teach yoga online, since they had never heard of Zoom or all the different online services. Most of those meetings were recorded and posted on my YouTube channel which also celebrated its 10 year anniversary 🤩 In the next few months we will revive our channel with new, original educational material to continue serving the Samaya Srividya tradition in the lineage of Swami Rama. 🙏🏽

Radhikaji is a teacher of the Samaya Tradition, teaching in the lineage of the Swami Rama. She travels between Germany and India leading retreats and online meetings for sincere seekers from different parts of the world.

Is your mind wandering restlessly today? Or is it focused and clear? The mind is constantly changing, but you may have a predominant mind type. How can you transform your wandering mind to a mind that is calm, relaxed and joyous?! 😇

There are five categories of the mind: disorganized, stupefied, divided, one-pointed and the mind in a state of equilibrium. This article, explaining these five categories, is an excerpt from my book The Yoga Sutras Illuminated .

I started teaching in 1992. Since 1997 I have been teaching Yoga, Advaita and Samaya Srividya in the lineage of Swami Rama. In the year 2006, I founded the Self Realization Program (earlier called THATfirst) to guide aspirants on their journey of self-discovery and Self Realization. Since early 2023 I have a new website expanding on this program, a blog with original articles, free educational material and other resources. Enjoy! 😊
