Cultivate Silent Mind with Anahata - The Sound of Silence

Silence is the birthplace of a greater consciousness. It is in a silent mind this greater consciousness reveals itself. However, the mind is full of chatter and developing inner silence is not easy. Anahata is an easy to follow, systematic process, a transformational practice based on Sri Aurobindo's integral yoga, to cultivate inner silence and peace.

A 4-Week Online Course to Cultivate a Silent Mind, the Foundation for Developing Yogic Consciousness

A silent mind is like a clear blue sky without any clouds and it reveals the sun of greater clarity. An untrained mind is covered by the clouds of constant mental activity and it veils the light of greater consciousness. However, wrestling with your thoughts is not very helpful in bringing inner silence. There is another way, the way of integral yoga where you learn to open to stillness, wideness, silence and peace which naturally makes your mind silent.

Who is This Course For?

Seeking to develop yogic consciousness?

Beyond the process of rational intelligence, when the mind is free of thoughts, from the depths of silence opens a new consciousness. That is where the yogic consciousness begins. If you are ready for it, this course is for you.

Are you a practitioner of Sri Aurobindo's integral yoga?

If you are aspiring to follow the path of integral yoga, working towards developing a silent mind and if you find it difficult to achieve inner silence, this course is for you.

Want to open to the force of Shakti?

Our individual will is a very limited instrument. It is only when we open to the force of divine Shakti descending from above, our human nature can be successfully transformed. If you are looking for a way to do this, Anahata is for you.

Evolve. Action. Community.

Learn to Evolve by Practicing Together as a Community

Practices During the Week

1 Minute Practice of the Day

Every day you will receive a prompt with an easy 1-minute practice to deepen your experiential understanding. You can share your experience over WhatsApp to learn from each other's insights.

10 Minute Daily Practice with Peers

Instead of practicing alone, you can also join your peers for a daily practice with 10 minute recorded audio guidance. Practicing together makes it easy and more impactful. This is optional for those who are willing to put in more effort and get better results.

Quotes and Questions

Quote of the Day

Every day you will receive a quote of the day from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother based on the theme of the week and the stage of practice. It helps to deepen your understanding of the practice and when you share your insights with the sangha, it increases the transformative power of the sangha.

Questions for Clarification

During live sessions with Manoj, there will be time for sharing and questions for clarification. You can also get clarifications over email which can also be shared with the community for the benefit of everyone.

Anahata came to my life as a blessing when I was aspiring to connect inward during the lockdown 🌻. The practices have helped me connect deeper with my body, experience silence, be calm and connect with my inner aspiration clearly. Deep gratitude Manoj da and team Purnam for the offering 🙏🌸

Frequently Asked Questions

Saturday sessions with Manoj form the backbone of the course. These Saturday sessions are imperative to attend to get the pulse of the practice and get the full benefit of the course. Every session will be a layer added to the previous one. So if you miss one it can be a bit challenging to follow up. The every day 15 minutes practice sessions from Mon - Fri are optional. Instead of the regular everyday practice, you can follow up by practising with peers during the week using recorded audio, it can help you to catch up.
90 minutes every Saturday from 5:30 - 7:00 PM IST. Every other day 1-minute practice that you can do at your own time based on the prompts we will be sending. You will be also given 10-minute audio files every week for practising at your own time. These are up to you to make use of and we highly recommend you utilise these easy means to deeper your practise and benefit the most. You will also have an opportunity to practice together for 15 minutes Monday - Friday.
This is a gift to you. If you appreciate our work and would like to support our work you are most welcome to make donations. The details will be given after the course.
