WHITE TANTRA YOGA What is it? White Tantra Yoga is a powerful meditation practice that clears the subconscious mind, allowing prosperity, success, and happiness to flow freely into your life. It is an ancient and unique yogic science that accelerates your spiritual growth by dissolving deep-rooted, subconscious blocks through the direction of a facilitator and the energy of the Mahan Tantric, Yogi Bhajan. Yogi Bhajan created the White Tantra Yoga video series of 126 courses over 17 years. He said they were our greatest asset and gave very specific direction that they could still be used after he left his physical body. White Tantra Yoga will continue each year under the guidance of appointed facilitators. All levels of yoga students can participate in White Tantra Yoga; there are no prerequisites. Beginners as well as more experienced meditators will tune into their internal strength and enjoy a deep and sometimes challenging meditative experience. Envision the energy of the Universe as both parallel and perpendicular in nature, like a cloth woven together. As a cloth becomes stronger when it is stretched on the diagonal, so the White Tantra Yoga diagonal, or ‘Z’ energy is stronger. This energy, when directed by the Mahan Tantric, cuts through the blocks that are stuck in the subconscious mind. Using the diagonal energy, the Mahan Tantric Yogi Bhajan, connects his subtle body to the subtle bodies of the participants through the course facilitator. This works the same way as a worldwide telephone system that relies on satellites and electromagnetic energy in order to connect two parties. The music and mantras included in White Tantra Yoga were specifically selected by Yogi Bhajan, and aid and support the process. White Tantra Yoga should not be confused with Black or Red Tantra Yoga. Those forms of yoga also transform energy, but in a different way and for different purposes. Black Tantra directs the energy to manipulate another human being and Red Tantra Yoga directs the energy solely for sexual purposes. What to Expect? White Tantra Yoga is done in pairs as a group meditation. Participants sit facing a partner and follow instructions for meditation given on a video by the Mahan Tantric, Yogi Bhajan. A representative of the Mahan Tantric will be present to facilitate White Tantra Yoga. The original facilitators were chosen personally by Yogi Bhajan from members of his staff. Since his passing, they use the profile he created for choosing new facilitators. Currently all White Tantra Yoga facilitators have studied personally with Yogi Bhajan. The facilitator’s role is one of ensuring that the methodology given by Yogi Bhajan is carried out, and to help participants maximize their experience. Each workshop consists of approximately 6 - 8 kriyas. A kriya is a meditation incorporating:
Sometimes the kriyas are accompanied by music. These kriyas vary in length up to 62 minutes. There are breaks between each kriya. The environment is peaceful and the atmosphere is friendly, supportive, and uplifting. A vegetarian lunch is provided. Who can participate?

On the question of "Mahan", it is widely used in Indian languages and referrs to Great One, Master, Grand, Saint, Mighty, Heavenly and someone with psychic powers. This is also a Sanskrit word. In Persian, it means beautiful, glowing, radiant, etc. "Maha" is another word used to denote the same meaning as "Mahan". Regarding Tantra Yoga practice; again when I was in India; I heard about three different kinds of Tantra Yogas -- namely White Tantra, Red Tantra and Black Tantra. White Tantra Yoga involves purifying the mind and body and was the most pious yoga to practice. Red Tantra Yoga is associated with sensuality and sexual energy while Black Tantra Yoga is associated with "Ridhis and Sidhis" (use of psychic powers) and manipulation and control. Black Tantra is the most difficult form of Tantra Yoga to master as it involves controlling the minds and circumstances of people. Black Tantra is used in India to cast a spell or misfortune on people. After I came to USA and met Siri Singh Sahib Ji and practiced White Tantra Yoga, I truly understand its power and discipline. Today, there are complex and myriad forms of Tantra Yoga practices and new ones are being introduced constantly. See Yogi Bhajan's Profile. See 3HO Solstice Sadhana. See Glossary of Sikh Terms.
