About Siddha Yoga
Siddha Yoga is a spiritual path of discipline, of mastering the mind and senses with teachings and practices.
It is also a path imbued with grace. Siddha Yoga practice and study is guided by meditation master and teacher Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, the spiritual head of the Siddha Yoga path.
The Siddha Yoga path is accessible, engaging, and directly applicable to the challenges and opportunities of modern life. Through study and application, students integrate the Siddha Yoga teachings and spiritual practices into the fabric of daily life.
Siddha Yoga practice begins with spiritual initiation, shaktipat diksha. Through the Siddha Yoga master’s grace and the student’s own steady effort, students realize the divinity within themselves and in the world around them.
There is a global community of ashrams, meditation centers, and chanting and meditation groups that support seekers to engage in the teachings and practices of the Siddha Yoga path. The Siddha Yoga Ashram in Oakland is one of these sacred places.
