Silent meditation in darkness retreat for online Tantra training day one

The Andhakaara Path to Power (APTP) is a monumental 365-day Work Study training program, promising to transport its dedicated students into the realm of ancient Tantric Laya Yoga, Kriya Yoga, and a profound lineage of magical Tantric traditions. Yet, the program is famously defined by a striking irony: despite its extensive curriculum and spiritual ambitions, only one person is considered to have truly mastered the APTP in its totality.

This sole “yogini”, who took on the long project after suggesting such an endeavor would be impossible for anyone to complete in consecutive order, stands as the unique benchmark of success. This leaves an open challenge for all aspirants: “one so to say in the world has mastered the APTP... You want to be the second one?”

This self-imposed barrier highlights the depth and commitment required for the course, where even a single day’s practice is described as offering enough spiritual insight to last a lifetime.

A Comprehensive and Personalized CurriculumThe 365-day training is comprehensive, drawing inspiration from ancient practices such as pre-Vedic shamanism and the principles of Advaita Vedanta, rooted in the West Bengal left-handed Shakta tantric lineage we preserve. It aims to guide the student toward understanding their metaphysical nature, leading to “profound happiness and self-awareness”.

Key Curricular Pillars

The instructional methodology is highly personalized, with all materials - daily videos, audios, and texts - delivered exclusively via WhatsApp to ensure focused and customized support. The program encourages a self-paced approach, allowing students to expand or delay a day's lesson to fully integrate the wisdom.

Pricing and Commitment

The course is built to be as flexible as the students who join it, and it is important that everyone has the chance to study these teachings. The payment structure reflects this openness. Some parts of the training ask for a deeper level of personal work with the teacher, so the contribution for those units is adjusted individually. These advanced sections often involve a personal conversation or an initiation and therefore include a private video session with a teacher from Forbidden Yoga. This combination of financial choice and personal guidance highlights the intensity of the work and the innovative character of a program rooted in the mystical left handed Vamachara Tantra tradition.
