Thank You — Your Place is Held

A sacred 42-day online Sadhana with Gurudev Sri Anish, centred on the self-study (svadhyaya) of the Mandukya Upanishad. Over six weeks (25 July – 6 September 2026), sadhaks read the Upanishad part by part in their own contemplation, gather each week in a facilitator-led Sangha to share their reflections, and practise the daily Om — the Para-Beej mantra — dhyan.

Chaturmas — the four sacred months — is the traditional season of turning inward. As Gurudev says, when the rains keep us from venturing out, it is nature's own call to pause our outer movement, take refuge, and intensify our sadhana.

No. The Sadhana welcomes both new and experienced seekers — you need only jijnasa, the sincere longing to know. Beginner-friendly commentaries are recommended so you can begin comfortably.

Gurudev will be present live with us for the Initiation and the Culmination of the Sadhana. For the weekly sessions in between, the Sangha groups meet in online sessions led by Saadho facilitators.

Yes. The Mandukya Upanishad and the daily Om dhyan complement any sincere path — they deepen your relationship with consciousness itself.

Each week you read one part of the Mandukya Upanishad in your own contemplation, using a recommended commentary. Then, in the weekly facilitator-led Sangha, you share what unfolded during the week's reading and reflection.

Gurudev has recommended two commentaries:

• For self-study in English — “Enlightenment Without God: Mandukya Upanishad” by Swami Rama (Himalayan Institute). Buy on Amazon
• For self-study in Hindi — “108 Upanishad (Gyan Khand / Sadhana Khand)” by Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya (Gayatri Parivar). Free E-Book (PDF) · Buy on Amazon

You may choose the e-book or a hardcover / paperback. We recommend arranging your book by 25 July, so you can begin along with the Sangha. If neither is easily available to you, feel free to choose any other commentary you find easier to understand and imbibe.

A daily Om (Para-Beej mantra) dhyan. Your self-practice deepens every two weeks — 18 chants, then 27, then 36. In the sessions, we chant 18 times together, guided by Gurudev's recording.

Facilitator-led group gatherings on Google Meet — held on Sundays — where sadhaks share their week's reflections from the self-study and practise together. Each group is guided by a dedicated Saadho facilitator.
