The Secret To Self-Realization
The Path To Uninterrupted Peace, Joy & Realization of the Truth

(formerly the Exceptional Learning Series)

The Secret To Self-Realization
2-Part Course Series

In the days of yore, disciples lived with their Gurus and performed many years of service to their Master. It was only after many, many tests that they were then blessed with the receipt of Shaktipat. Then, only after more years of daily service, were they offered the secret of the spiritually-perfected Sages – The Secret To Self-Realization.

Understanding the change in times and the needs of today’s spiritual aspirants, in the great oral tradition of the Sadgurus of our lineage, Sadguru Kedarji now offers a two-year course of study (Parts 1 and 2) in the examination and principles, the full realization of which bestows Self-Realization.

Pathway To Liberation

Sadguru Kedarji leads this two-year, extensive examination of the path to uninterrupted Peace, Joy and Wellness. The Secret To Self-Realization is offered to those who recognize the value of and want to adopt a spiritual lifestyle in order to embrace permanent spiritual transformation Now, that sets you on a pathway to Liberation.

This pathway to uninterrupted Peace and Joy is based on the Yoga Science of Kashmir Shaivism and integrated into our approach by Sadguru Kedarji. (This is not the Shaivism defined on the Internet by Google and Wikipedia. These are the principles and methods taught as part of a time-honored, oral tradition, as part of an unbroken lineage of Sadgurus that dates back to the pre-bronze age).

Emphasis is placed on helping you to establish a discipline in your daily spiritual practice that is focused on developing a bond of power between you and Sadguru Kedarji. These courses are for those who want to make permanent spiritual transformation and the pathway to Liberation, the top priority in their lives. People attending these courses learn how to master all the energies of their lives in favor of becoming established in the true Heart – the highest abode of the inner Self.

Secret to Self-Realization is a series of all-day courses that are offered once each month, for twelve months in each of two parts. These all-day courses are usually offered on a Saturday, from 10am – 5pm, ET. **They are webcast live to participants living outside of a 75-mile radius of our retreat center. If you want to attain permanent spiritual transformation at a livelier pace, without wasting time, and are willing to perform the inner work necessary, and as instructed, this series of courses is essential for you.

A Sample of Course Experience Shares

“When I first entered The Secret To Self-Realization series of courses, I referred to the teachings and practices I was taught in these courses as the “meat and potatoes” of Nityananda Shaktipat Yoga. To this day, this is still how I feel. These courses provide the essential understandings, practices and secrets to gaining the deeper understanding of this approach.

Every month, at the end of each course, I can’t wait for the next course. Everything I learn makes more than just sense. Between courses, I practice and apply what we have been taught and I experience the proof in my life that it is the Truth about life, love and the joy of the true Heart that I am gaining. I leave these courses singing the mantra, Om Namah Shivaya, and knowing, deep within my heart, that I have come home.”

“In The Secret To Self-Realization, we meet regularly in small, group settings under the guidance of Sadguru Kedarji, to imbibe the teachings of the great masters of our lineage. The teachings of our lineage require more than simply intellectual study. When presented by a Shakta adept like Kedarji, they are enlivened with the Shakti of the lineage. Our own awareness is raised to a vibratory level wherein we can begin to experience the truth of the teachings for ourselves, in the laboratory of our own existence. In this way, The Secret To Self-Realization series provides experiential knowledge, not just intellectual knowledge.

We bring with us a number of obstacles to leading a spiritual lifestyle and to fully aligning ourselves with Grace. These obstacles are our own past karmas on which our mental conditioning is based, and the limited understandings that result from them. For me, these courses have provided the tools and experiences necessary to release these old, limiting mental conditionings and understandings, and to gradually replace them with higher understandings. Through recognizing and applying these higher understandings and practices, I find myself experiencing the bliss of the Self on a daily basis. Even when immersed in my daily activities, when I remember to apply the teachings taught in these courses, I experience the bliss of the Self and prove to myself the Truth of the teachings.

The Secret To Self-Realization series of courses is also a privilege to receive personalized guidance from a Living Shakta Adept, and to grow and bond with fellow students in our spiritual community. As students in these courses, we have become close friends, as well as fellow Bhaktas in our spiritual community, and we often discuss and share our experiences together. The support of a spiritual community, along with the direct and personalized guidance from Sadguru Kedarji, has made it possible for me to remain faithful to my daily practice, and to continue to deepen my immersion in and experience of the blissful play of the Divine Shiva-Shakti power.”

Series Format

The format is that of the Guru Kula, the school of the Guru. As the lessons are taught, written tests are administered on a regular basis throughout the series so that students remain aware of how well they are grasping and applying the lessons.

In addition, contemplation assignments are instructed which are vital to the inner experience of the lessons being taught. Also, there are additional methods for spiritual practice that are offered, which Sadguru Kedarji does not instruct in public programs. Above all, The Secret To Self-Realization course series offers the privilege of keeping Sadguru Kedarji’s company on a continual basis for this two-year period.
