“How the five elements behave within your system makes the difference between wellness and illness, peace and turmoil, joy and misery.” —Sadhguru
In Yoga, the five elements are seen as the basis of all creation, including the physical body. The Yogic sciences have powerful processes that can bring the body and mind to a vibrant state of health and wellbeing by purifying the five elements within the human system.
With the Pancha Bhuta Kriya, Sadhguru opens up a unique opportunity for everyone to benefit from the powerful Yogic process of Bhuta Shuddhi which would otherwise require intense sadhana (spiritual practice).
Pancha Bhuta Kriya happens in Dhyanalinga on the 14th day of every lunar month, which is one day before the new moon. This process can be attended in-person as well as online.
