Course Details
Week-to-week, we gather together to practice Bhakti Yoga, the Yoga of Devotion. Through singing prayers and chanting mantras, accompanied by instruments, we express love for the Divine. We open our hearts to Infinite Love, and connect to God through music, whilst entering into a state of expanded awareness.
This is a rare opportunity to active Anahata (the Heart Chakra), in a space of acceptance. The ‘judgemental mind’, usually attempts to suppress and prevent such outpours of Divine Longing. In a group dynamic, where vocal expression is encouraged, mental blocks are broken down.
“The function of music…is to quiet the mind, to make it more sensitive to Divine Intervention” – Samaveda
Listen to “Shiva Bhajans” by Yogita.

Bhavani
Bhavani
As a young girl, Bhavani sought secrets of the unknown. She was easily moved to contemplate the deeper meaning of life. Thus, she pursued the mysteries of the forest, stars, and sky. Spending her days in nature, she felt her calling towards a way of life that was very different to the usual.
The tests of youth led her to Tantra as a teen, to embrace her sexuality (which was fragile, and in need of nourishment and healing). Meeting Agama and her Guru Swamiji Vivekananda (2011), was a huge turning point in her life. She transformed, and felt exhilarated, by the profound teachings and tradition of Tantra Yoga.
Additionally, Bhavani is a good and loving mother to a wonderful child, who she gracefully grows up with love, spiritual principles, and wisdom. She has dedicated her life, towards teaching Spirituality, and helping to serve others – so they may evolve on this path. Bhavani is a Senior Teacher of Agama Yoga.

Vera
Vera
Vera began her journey at Agama with a Tantra workshop, which inspired her to join the Hatha Yoga Level 1 program to go deeper into the Agama teachings. She soon realised that she had found a true spiritual path and stayed at Agama since then, following the curriculum and reconfirming her commitment to Self-realisation. Becoming an Agama teacher brought a much deeper comprehension of the teachings and strengthened her faith and purpose in life. Vera is grateful to be able to pass on what she has learnt and dedicates her life to be in service to the Truth.

Yogita
Yogita
Yogita was born and grew up, in Israel. Since a young age, she performed gymnastics, and this gave her a good awareness of the physical body. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education, in 2003. After a long unsuccessful spiritual quest in India, she was blessed to find Agama, in Thailand (2006). Thereafter, she committed herself to the practices whole-heartedly, as that is what her soul was longing for. In 2007, she became an Agama Yoga Teacher, and has since taught in various countries worldwide. Yogita, now, is a Senior Agama Teacher. She has has taken numerous Advanced Initiations, in both Yoga & Tantra (the latter, she was empowered to teach, in 2009). She has dedicated a great deal of her time and energy, into the field of sexual healing, and empowerment in light of spirituality.
Yogita loves to sing, and her voice is one of her greatest gifts. This talent, she uses, to express her devotion to the Divine with Bhakti. Additionally, she has led Bhajan circles for many years. She is extremely passionate about sharing the Tantric Teachings with women. She loves to teach “Complete Femininity”, as it has truly transformed her life, and contributed to her spiritual evolution, as a woman on the Tantric Path.
Trainings in Psycho-Spiritual work over the last nine years, have also greatly influenced her approach to teaching. Teaching Yoga has increased her enthusiasm for Spirituality, and made her a stronger practitioner. Yogita is eternally grateful to Swami Vivekananda Saraswati, who founded this exceptional yoga school and remains its Head Teacher. His generous heart, and dedication to teaching Yoga, have been an endless source of inspiration on her path – as a disciple and teacher herself.

“All Truth is Eternal. Truth is nobody’s property; no race, no individual can lay any exclusive claim to it. Truth is the nature of all souls.” Swami Vivekananda.
In ancient scriptures, the Samvaad is the process of asking questions to seek answers between the Vakta (speaker) and Shrota (listener). This has been the foundation for passing on ancient wisdom and knowledge, from generation to generation, in India. At Agama, we adore this tradition.
Every Tuesday, we are fortunate to have Swamiji’s guidance as he answers our burning questions. No matter the queries put forth, week upon week, a sense of deep insight is received upon listening to Swamiji’s words as he sheds light on matters of spiritual importance.
On most Tuesdays, Swamiji leads a Q&A session. However, when he is simultaneously leading a workshop, our Advanced Teacher Muktananda conducts the Q&A session.
How to join?
To join the live session, you can find a Zoom link from our Akasha e-learning platform. Now you can also send your questions there beforehand and watch recording if you missed live. If you have finished Level 2 and would like to join your very first time, please send your request with information when did you completed level 2, to our registration office 3 days before and they will create access for you.

Swamiji
Swamiji
The founder of Agama Yoga, Swami Vivekananda Saraswati, or “Swamiji” to his students, is a passionate and dedicated teacher of the authentic lines of Indian and Tibetan Yoga, which are rapidly becoming lost in today’s “spiritual marketplace.”
In 1998, Swami Vivekananda took full sannyasa vows at the Kumbha Mela in India, at which time he was ordained; his diksha guru bestowing upon him his new and famous name, which means discriminating insight.
Although restrained by a modesty that usually prevents him from discussing it, Swamiji has reached high states of spiritual realisation and samadhi. From this place of knowing, he offers a proven path to spiritual accomplishment in well-articulated concepts. He is one of the few Western Tantric Teachers well-versed in Kundalini Yoga and Gnostic Christianity, and he specialises in the intensely spiritual Tantra Yoga of Kashmir Shaivism.
Swamiji’s guidance is felt in many ways at Agama: from in the classroom, presenting Yoga as a living science, based on common sense and joy; to administering various healing techniques, as a practitioner of chiropractic and other healing methods; to lecturing on esoteric Yogic subjects in weekly Satsang; or discussing personal life problems with pupils, possibly in their own language (as he speaks five).
Swamiji inspires by personal example and examples from history, quoting uninterruptedly from scores of ancient texts and spiritual masters – all with a great sense of humour and unmatched character.

Course Details
New Year’s Eve represents a special moment in the year, when large groups of people become synchronized in their awareness, creating strong energetic environments. Such moments offer great opportunities for meditative insights and to positively influence the future of the world.
Sometimes there are especially privileged moments for meditation when cosmic forces or the energetic environment create an exceptional atmosphere and profound effects or insights are possible. For Yogis, spiritual practice in those moments not only propels one’s personal evolution but also can be dedicated to benefiting others.
The week of Christmas and New Year’s – and especially New Year’s Eve – represents such a period of privileged moments, when the synchronized collective energies of large groups of the population set into action forces of a cosmic scope at precisely determined instants. We should never lose the opportunity to meditate in such situations. This year, as every year according to an Agama Yoga tradition established in 2001, we wish to offer students serious about their spiritual evolution the opportunity to choose meditation instead of social hoopla.
This retreat is inspired by the classical Buddhist-style Vipassana retreat yet with fundamental differences such that, actually, it forms the Yogic and Tantric reply to that style. It is meant to offer a powerful, creative, and flexible alternative to the more staid approach of the Buddhist system of practice.
The retreat has been conceived to provide a true spiritual celebration during the period of Christmas and New Year’s, using the special subtle energetic environment created on a planetary scale by those events.
What you will practice:
Among the forms of practice, we will integrate into our retreat: Laya Yoga meditation, Kashmir Shaivism techniques, practice, music and sound meditation, rare Vijnana Bhairava Tantra treasures and guided meditation, plus Hatha Yoga practice for a 10-day marathon of spiritual awakening.
The retreat, held annually from 23 December-2 January, is divided into two sessions. One hour of Hatha Yoga practice is incorporated in the morning session.
Guided timezone meditations over New Year’s Eve will be timed to harmonize with the energies in each part of the world when entering into the New Year as we meditate on the souls of our global brothers and sisters.
We are very happy to provide video recordings for most of our workshops, but we strongly recommend attending them LIVE and using the videos as support. As the method used for the recordings is Zoom, we don’t guarantee high-quality performance. Recordings are available for one week after the workshop has finished.

Lucila’s spiritual journey began in her early childhood, at a Catholic School in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a child, she was fascinated with Churches and Saints. During her adolescence, she faced the temptations of living in a big city, and lost her faith on the path.
After many travels, studies, and an ardent inner search, a dear friend told her about Agama. Since then, she has never left. She found the true purpose of her life, under the guidance of her beloved Swamiji. Now, she is very enthusiastic about sharing these wonderful spiritual teachings with the world.

Join the entire Agama community for a powerful all-night ritual of homage to Shiva .
Experience the divine mystery of existence and cultivate a spirit deep devotion.
“Homage to Shiva, who assumes wonderful and diverse aspects:
Although Magician, You are nevertheless true;
although transcendent, You are active;
although subtle, You assume the appearance of the Universe!” – Utpaladeva
In India, Maha Shivaratri is a traditional day of worship dedicated to Lord Shiva, or God, literally meaning “the Great Night of Shiva.”
Lord Shiva is The Great Mystery. During this night we are going to meditate on the following faces of Shiva:
1- Mayavin / Shiva the magician
2- Pasupati / God of Grace
3- Umapati / Lover of Umã
4- Trayambaka / Virupaksa / 3rd eye Shiva
5- Dhurjai / Kapardin / Ascetic
6- Bhairava / Shivaratri- Mystical Night
7- Nataraja / Dancer
8- Dakshinamurti / Teacher
As Shiva is the “Great Guru of the Yogis,” especially in the Kashmiri Shaivist tradition that is such an important part of the teachings in the Agama system, on Koh Phangan we celebrate this event with a gathering of the entire community, a ritual of homage to Shiva, meditations, and bhajans.
In the Tantric tradition, Shiva is the name given both to the inexpressible consciousness, the transcendent, as well as to the personal manifestation of the divine in its masculine aspect.
The date changes year by year, always corresponding to the new moon and falling sometime in late winter or early spring.
Although the gathering continues until dawn, all are invited to join at any point and leave when necessary. All participants are asked to wear white and arrive in silence, with respect for the space and those nearby them in the hall. And of course, it’s said that the real magic of the evening happens late into the night, when only the most dedicated ones with the strongest aspiration remain.
Join us for this all-night vigil, led by Swami Vivekananda Saraswati and senior Agama Yoga teachers, as we cultivate devotion through meditations, ritual offerings, bhajans, and more.
Get inspired by listen Swamiji talk about Mahashivaratri!

Student’s Testimonial:
“I visited the Mahashivratri honoring night @ Agama center(Ko Phangan) yesterday on a hunch. Wow, what an amazing experience
Together we explored the different faces of Lord Shiva through meditation, chanting and worship…offering at the shrine of Lord Shiva
And as said it is indeed, the more energy & devotion you give at the shrine, the more you get. The energy was sky-high from the start! A Natural High! It carried me through until sunrise @ 06.30In honor of Lord Shiva here are the aspects I remember that we meditated on, and many beautiful images that resonante with me now

Swamiji
Swamiji
The founder of Agama Yoga, Swami Vivekananda Saraswati, or “Swamiji” to his students, is a passionate and dedicated teacher of the authentic lines of Indian and Tibetan Yoga, which are rapidly becoming lost in today’s “spiritual marketplace.”
In 1998, Swami Vivekananda took full sannyasa vows at the Kumbha Mela in India, at which time he was ordained; his diksha guru bestowing upon him his new and famous name, which means discriminating insight.
Although restrained by a modesty that usually prevents him from discussing it, Swamiji has reached high states of spiritual realisation and samadhi. From this place of knowing, he offers a proven path to spiritual accomplishment in well-articulated concepts. He is one of the few Western Tantric Teachers well-versed in Kundalini Yoga and Gnostic Christianity, and he specialises in the intensely spiritual Tantra Yoga of Kashmir Shaivism.
Swamiji’s guidance is felt in many ways at Agama: from in the classroom, presenting Yoga as a living science, based on common sense and joy; to administering various healing techniques, as a practitioner of chiropractic and other healing methods; to lecturing on esoteric Yogic subjects in weekly Satsang; or discussing personal life problems with pupils, possibly in their own language (as he speaks five).
Swamiji inspires by personal example and examples from history, quoting uninterruptedly from scores of ancient texts and spiritual masters – all with a great sense of humour and unmatched character.
