Śrī Vidyā Kriyā
Levels I & II Retreat
What is Śrī Vidyā Kriyā (SVK)?
With the blessings of her beloved Śrī Guru, Saundaryāmbikā (Dr. Kavitha Chinnaiyan) has developed a unique system that she calls Śrī Vidyā Kriyā (SVK).
SVK harnesses the power of the Śrī Vidyā dīkṣā mantras in a specific sequence that takes the practitioner from ordinary discursive awareness to progressive opening into unity consciousness. The synergistic application of various postures mediates this process, breathing techniques matched with each mantra and seals of energy known as mudrās.
Based on timeless Yogic and Tāntrik principles and cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, SVK is meant to radically transform the body-mind. Combined with The Renegade Method™ of self-inquiry, ritual as taught in The Sublime Art of Pūjā, and the Heart of Wellness lifestyle, SVK provides a complete system of practices (upāsanā).
Initiation into SVK Levels I and II will be available at this October 2025 retreat.
