1. सक्रिय ध्यान – Active Meditation
Sakriya Dhyan is a form of meditation where the practitioner uses conscious effort, movement, or specific techniques to enter a meditative state. It involves engaging the body, breath, mind, or voice through structured methods. The word “Sakriya” means “with action,” indicating that this form of dhyan is a purposeful practice where the doer is involved in the process.
This approach is especially supportive for those who find it difficult to sit silently or have restless energy. It brings discipline, purification, and gradual control over the senses and mind.
Nature of Sakriya Dhyan
In Sakriya Dhyan, the practitioner is doing something intentionally – whether it is chanting a mantra, observing a flame, performing a kriya, or regulating breath. These acts are not distractions but sacred tools to shift attention inward. The action becomes the doorway to stillness.
This type of dhyan is rooted in many traditional paths. It helps align the physical, mental, and energetic layers, preparing the seeker for deeper absorption.
Techniques Used in Sakriya Dhyan
Some common practices that come under Sakriya Dhyan include:
Mantra Japa: Repetition of sacred sounds to still the mind.
Tratak: Gazing at a flame or symbol to develop focus and awaken inner vision.
Pranayama: Controlled breathing to regulate prana and calm the nervous system.
Mudras and Bandhas: Gestures and locks to direct energy flow.
Yantra or Idol Meditation: Visual engagement with spiritual symbols.
Swar Sadhana: Observing and aligning with natural breath patterns.
Kundalini Kriyas: Specific physical and energetic techniques to awaken inner energy.
Each technique is purposeful and acts as a step toward cleansing inner clutter and opening channels of awareness.
Benefits of Sakriya Dhyan
Sakriya Dhyan is not merely an exercise or ritual – it is a sacred act of aligning one’s being with the higher forces. It purifies the karmic impressions stored in the mind-body system and gradually removes veils that cover true awareness. Many great masters have walked this path, combining action with devotion and awareness.

2. अक्रिय ध्यान – Inactive Meditation
Akriya Dhyan is the meditative state where no effort is made, no action is taken. The practitioner simply rests in pure awareness, without doing anything deliberately. The word “Akriya” means “without action” or “non-doing,” highlighting a state where even the seeker dissolves, and only witnessing remains. This dhyan is subtle and powerful. It requires maturity, inner calm, and the ability to observe without reacting or controlling. It is not a technique but a state of being.
Nature of Akriya Dhyan
Akriya Dhyan is about allowing everything to be – thoughts may come and go, emotions may rise, sounds may occur, but the meditator remains untouched, only watching. There is no judgment, no goal, no interference.
The attention is relaxed, and the awareness becomes like a clear sky – present, open, and vast. This leads to deep inner silence, which cannot be created by effort but revealed by stillness.
States Experienced in Akriya Dhyan
Thoughtlessness without suppression.
Oneness with the surroundings.
A feeling of spaciousness and timelessness.
Dissolution of the “I” or ego identity.
Natural joy and lightness from within.
These states are not sought – they arise when one stops trying.
Benefits of Akriya Dhyan
Deep healing of mental and emotional patterns.
Connection with the purest form of consciousness.
Awakens inner wisdom and intuition.
Brings permanent inner transformation.
Leads to higher states like Samadhi and Self-realization.
Akriya Dhyan is the flowering of all sadhanas. It is like coming home after a long journey.

3. Thankyou Meditation
Thank You Meditation is a unique blend of vocal expression, silent reflection, and sacred gestures, designed to awaken the pure emotion of gratitude in every cell of the body. This meditation is more than just a mental exercise — it is a heart-centered offering to the divine forces that support and sustain our existence. In this practice, the meditator consciously offers gratitude — both aloud and silently — to various manifestations of the divine. We thank God, Nature, the Universe, Mother Earth, the Sun, Moon, Water, Air, Ancestors, Gurus, and all the seen and unseen forces that guide and nourish life.
4. आशीर्वाद - Blessing Techniqure
There is a special technique used to offer aashirvad (blessing) in a spiritually potent way, where the energy of our pure intention is directed with focus, specific hand gestures, and internal alignment, so that the one receiving the blessing truly benefits. This method ensures that the blessing is not just words, but a transmission of will, goodwill, and subtle pranic support, making it effective and transformative.
