Sri Vidya is a way of life. It helps in paving the path for a smoother lifestyle and also in maintaining healthy relationships with others. It is a lifestyle where the seeker learns to accept the world as is. It helps us or teaches us to live in the moment with complete energy, awareness, and above all joy independent of the external environment.

As long as you can spare at least 2 hrs for practise with dedication and devotion you can progress in Srividya, However in Srividya you should always have only one guru.If you received similar mantras from another Srividya Guru, it is better to be with your Guru instead of changing the guru and different paths may confuse you.

You need not postpone your participation, because of this issue. You can still attend the class which is only online but you can take the deeksha after the class.

No. This module 1 and 2 are intended to remove all your fears and doubts about spiritual practice and prepare you for getting connected with Universal mother through Sri Yantra. After doing 2 to 3 months of module 1 and 2 upasana you will be guided to get an authentic Sri Yantra through us at reasonable cost (we do not manufacture or sell Sri Yantras).

It is mandatory for you to attend all the sessions on all the three days completely. Then only after the class, the class recording video will be shared. The video link will be active for 15 days.
We follow the Gurukula tradition of teaching and learning should be done directly online from the Guru and not through video recordings.
For any technical difficulty if you miss the class for some time, the videos of all the 3 days recordings will be shared for 15 days, from which you can review and practice any number of times.
