2025 Rudra Yaga Practice (Capstone Weekend)

Ours is the era of power, progress, and abundance. Cutting edge technology has created a world our ancestors could never have imagined. With unprecedented progress in agriculture, education, medical sciences, defense systems, and artificial intelligence—all leading to mass production and mass consumption—we have no reason to feel unsafe, unprotected, or insecure. Yet, we do. Financial insecurity, domestic violence, drug addiction, polarization of social views and values, reckless exploitation of natural resources, and mindless regrouping of global powers make us wonder what fate this era of ours will meet.

The rapid rise in the toxicity of our soil, water, and air, the overconsumption of natural resources, the ever-widening gap between poor and rich, and an alarming portion of humanity embroiled in anger, hatred, fear, jealousy, self-righteousness, and divisive tendencies are signs that we are at the brink of losing what took centuries to build. Although chasing the idea of doomsday is childish, we must take these warnings seriously.

Rudra Yaga is a time-tested practice for re-instilling ourselves and the collective consciousness with the vigor, wisdom, compassion, and determination we need to heal ourselves and the natural world. It is the gift of the Tradition, which, from time to time, masters have used to invoke the forces of inner healing and nourishment, especially at times when our political systems, religious institutions, and commercial forces have failed us. This is one of those times. We are fortunate that we are part of that Tradition, and custodian of that knowledge. With this program, Rudra Yaga — Healing Ourselves and Healing the Planet, we invite you to experience the power and wisdom the Tradition has passed on to us.

With the study and practice of Rudra Yaga, take your current practice to the next level, enrich your personal life, and contribute to the health and healing of the larger world.
