Mudra Workshop 8th to 14th DECEMBER
with Acharya Dabral
In sadhana there is a special place for mudras and
their practices. Mudras are a powerful method for
making spiritual advancement. The human body is
full of many deep mysteries and potentials that
can be expressed through the language of mudra.
With the practice of mudra one can achieve great
results in sadhana and at the same time help one
to attain physical well-being.
In yogic practices or spiritual sadhana, the asanas,
pranayama and mudras should be taught by a
competent teacher. Mantra represents jnana
shakti (power of wisdom) and mudra represents
kriya shakti (power of action). Mudra is a ritual practice that evokes deep feelings and
emotions (bhavana). By practicing mudras one receives the blessings of the gods and one’s
negative tendencies are diminished.
To learn the practice of mudras systematically, a week long programme has been specifically
designed which will include the understanding and practice of mudra shastra. The
programme will consist of seven consecutive evening lectures by Acharya Sunderlal Dabral
and assisted by Swami Veda Bharati.

An antidote to pain can be found in pleasure. Pleasure can serve as a distraction from pain,
and with concentration, can replace pain. Pleasure can take the form of the physical, the
social and loving, the creative, the philosophical, and the spiritually experiential.
What are the chemical-hormonal paths that pain takes? These waves may be diverted,
reducing the strength and frequency of pain by replacing them with the opening of electrical
and chemical-hormonal channels of pleasure through love, creativity, philosophical analysis
and meditation experience. How meditation activates the pleasure centres of the brain and
why this is the best antidote to pain will be addressed as will methods to train patients to
replace the intensity and frequency of pain through devices like all-absorbing creativity,
philosophical analysis, and meditational experience.
1. One is having a heart attack. Part of the problem is the actual physical heart attack,
and rest is the anxiety one is suffering, causing increased stress and potentially
adding to the strength of the attack. How may a meditation practitioner reduce the
levels of stress and anxiety,
reducing the risks and
improving outcomes in
cardiovascular disease and
events such as heart
attacks?
