Vigyan Bhairav Tantra
The classical text of meditation techniques, studied and applied.
The Vigyan Bhairav Tantra is a classical text presented as a dialogue between Bhairava and Bhairavi. It sets out a large collection of meditation techniques — using breath, sound, space, sensation and attention — as doorways into direct awareness.
Foundations
- Dialogue form — questions on the nature of reality, answered through practices.
- Breath-based techniques — attention to the pause between breaths.
- Sound and space — using mantra, silence and spaciousness.
- Everyday awareness — techniques usable in daily activity.
How Yogi Shri teaches it
In Yogi Shri’s classes, vigyan bhairav tantra is taught the way every session is taught: an interactive exploration of the subject, followed by a practice, then time to share experience and receive personal guidance. The classical texts — the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutras, the Upanishads and the tantric scriptures — are studied for what they mean in daily practice.
