Upasana
Yoga
with Acharya Shunya
The Aim of Upasana Yoga
​
Through mantra, meditation, chanting, sacred sound, and contemplative teaching, the mind becomes more available to truth.
​
The heart becomes less scattered.
​
The inner life becomes less ruled by restlessness, fear, and outer pressure.
​
The seeker begins to remember that the Divine is not far away. The sacred is not elsewhere. The light invoked through Upasana is also the light of one’s own deepest Self.
Draw Near to the Divine
Upasana means drawing near.
​
In the Vedic tradition, Upasana is the sacred movement by which the mind turns toward the Divine, becomes refined through mantra, steadied through meditation, softened through devotion, and prepared for Self-knowledge.
Upasana Yoga with Acharya Shunya is a living Vedic path of mantra, meditation, chanting, dhyana, sacred sound, contemplative teaching, and inner practice. It is rooted in a traditional lineage and offered for sincere seekers who wish to become quieter, steadier, more receptive to truth, and more available to the light of the Self.
​
This is not a casual meditation class. It is not a fitness practice. It is a sacred approach to inner nearness.
​
Through Upasana Yoga, the student learns to gather the mind, refine attention, invoke sacred presence, and enter practice with humility, devotion, and steadiness.
Each month, Upasana Yoga unfolds through a sacred theme introduced by Acharya Shunya
Including japa, mantra meditation, sadhana, pranayama, inwardness, speech purification, body purification, tapas, and svadhyaya.
These are not only topics for discussion. They are living doorways into practice, refinement, devotion, and Self-knowledge.
​What We Will Explore in Upasana Yoga
Each month, Upasana Yoga unfolds through a sacred theme. These themes are not only ideas to learn. They are living doorways into practice, purification, devotion, and Self-knowledge.
