This proximity provided a rich and engaging environment for deeper openings, essential transmissions, pith teachings and specific cues to refine and augment one’s view and approach to the path and practice.

In modern times, it has become much more difficult to live near our teacher. We intermittently join for retreats whenever we can, but the time spent on our own outside of formal retreats can give way to challenges, especially in the early phases of the path. We often lose our inspiration, discipline and/or clarity of view when away from the teacher-student environment– which ends up impeding our overall momentum towards actualization and mastery of the path.

By meeting regularly online, these cohorts will serve as a way to maintain continuity of contact between the teacher and students to provide supplemental guidance and continuity.

It is not possible to receive the full knowledge of any area of spiritual study by merely attending occasional teachings or retreats. To receive the full transmission of your path, more regular contact time with the teacher is needed. Dharma Bodhi has stated that the main ingredient missing in the life of the modern practitioner is an adequate amount of contact time with the teacher. In his years of intensive training, Dharma Bodhi traveled extensively in search of contact with the masters of the authentic Mahāsiddha traditions, and his life was often strained or uprooted over and over again in the process. Not to mention, he lost many work and family opportunities in the effort to maintain contact with his masters.

He knows all too well the struggle it can take to get to the teachings and retreats, and what a toll it can take on your finances, work, family, and overall stability. This creates an unnecessary and obstacle-laden environment of inner conflict that paradoxically opposes your Path, often leaving you with the feeling that you’re at best making minimal progress and at worst destabilizing your life and slipping backwards.

Therefore, Dharma Bodhi and Sahaja Dākinī devised practitioner cohorts to help you create a stronger connection to the lineage masters, and to provide a rich source of continuous nourishment accessible from your own home. Trika Mahāsiddha Yoga’s goal is to provide you with an accessible, authoritative and affordable support system enabling you to attain stable Realization of your True Nature in this very lifetime, as promised by the Mahāsiddhas themselves and the traditions they founded.

To meet this goal we are very pleased to offer the Practitioner Cohorts as an opportunity to increase your knowledge, have access to ongoing individual guidance and to regularly receive the Blessing Waves of the Masters through gathering together for community practice.

We look forward to serving you on your Path.
