Bandhava
Yagna
It is around our relationships that we build hate, anger, fear, worry and loneliness. And it is around our relationships that affection, love, joy, meaning and kindness play out. Our relationships dictate the quality of our life.
A weekend course on healing relationships and creating enduring love at Ekam Kshetra, guided by Mukti Gurus, Sri Preethaji and Sri Krishnaji.
Join any weekend, in any order. Each one is complete in itself.
Bandhava means relationship. Yagna means an inner process of purification and evolution, undertaken for one’s own well-being and for the well-being of the Universal Being.
Our relationships are playgrounds. Our relationships are the arenas in which the drama of a life is enacted. And it is around our relationships that we build the destructive states of hate, anger, fear, worry and loneliness. It is also around our relationships that the more beautiful states of affection, love, joy, meaning and kindness are able to play out.
Our relationship with people is reflected in our relationship with the Divine. And our relationship with the Divine is reflected in our relationship with people. The two were never separate, and they are not separate now.
From the teaching of Mukti Gurus
Dissolve the karmic knots
The knots that create conflict, and the hurdles that appear again and again without any explanation you can name.
Awaken to freedom and connection
A heartfelt connection that does not have to be maintained by effort, because nothing is standing in its way any longer.
Open your life to grace
When the bonds are clear, life begins to move on your behalf, in ways that logic does not fully account for.
To transform our relationships is to transform life itself.
Wisdom of the Avatars and the Mukti Gurus first. And then the processes that do the actual work.
- You will receive the wisdom to heal and to mend. The understanding necessary to see clearly into your relationship with your parents, your partner, your friends, your brothers and sisters, your children, your colleagues, and with yourself.
- You will go through processes that heal the heart. Guided experiences that hold the heart, soothe the emotions, and give you the clarity to move forward, rather than circle the same ground for another ten years.
- The karma bandhanas are untied. The karmic knots that keep us bound to one another across lifetimes are revealed, and they are released.
- Repeating patterns begin to give way. The forces that cause the same conflict to return in a new form, with a new person, in a new decade, begin to lose their hold.
You may come for one weekend, for two, or for all three. Each is a whole course with its own field of relationships, and none of them asks you to have attended the others.
Prema Bandhava
The bonds formed before we had any say, and the one bond we chose as adults.
Ananda Bandhava
The bonds we tell ourselves do not matter, and that ache the longest.
Mitra Bandhava
The relationship with yourself, and the relationship with your work.
Come for one weekend. Come for all three.
Prema Bandhava
The mother whose approval you are still quietly waiting for. The father with whom conversation somehow stopped around the time you began earning. The husband or wife with whom you share a home, a household and a long list of responsibilities, and less and less moments of connection. The in-laws with whom you feel an internal distance.
Heal these relationships. Feel the fulfilment of love.
Ananda Bandhava
The brother you stopped speaking to when the property was divided. The sister who was your closest companion until a wedding, or a single sentence, came between you. The friends from college and from the first job who were once daily, and are now a name that appears once a year with a birthday message. We tell ourselves these bonds do not matter. They are the ones that ache the longest.
Bridge the distance. Rediscover your connection.
Mitra Bandhava
The relationship you have with yourself, upon which every other relationship is built. And the relationship you have with your work: a senior, a team, a business partner, a kinsfolk in a family firm. The same knots of mistrust and ego clashes hurt both: relationships and growth.
Become your best friend. Untangle the knots and unite over a common purpose.
Mukti Gurus Sri Preethaji and Sri Krishnaji
Bandhava Yagna carries the teaching of Mukti Gurus Sri Preethaji and Sri Krishnaji, co-founders of the Oneness Movement and current leaders of Bhagavad Dharma. They have together created Ekam as the world centre for enlightenment with the blessings of Sri Kalki Bhagavan and Sri Bhagavati Amma. For many years now, seekers from India and from across the world have come to Ekam to sit with this wisdom, and to be changed by it.
Learning from Mukti Gurus is to have the deepest insight on why the same argument returns with a different face, why a bond that once carried so much affection turned distant, and what actually holds these patterns in place across a lifetime, and beyond one lifetime. To go through a spiritual journey with them is to heal the fractures and frictions and awaken to true love.
Bandhava Yagna is for anyone carrying a relationship that has grown heavy. You do not need a background in meditation, you do not need to have attended anything before, and you do not need to belong to anything.
Those who come are householders: running a business in Coimbatore, working through a long week in Bengaluru, holding a home together in Hyderabad, raising children and looking after aging parents at the same time. This is a course for people in the middle of their lives, not away from them.
Most come alone. If your husband or wife is not ready, that is not an obstacle; a great deal of what is held in a relationship can be released from one side. Couples are welcome, and each person registers separately. The course is conducted in English. Participants are eighteen years and above.
Svasti Campus, Ekam
Bandhava Yagna is held at Svasti Campus in the vicinity of Ekam.
You arrive on Saturday morning and leave on Sunday evening. For the whole of that time your stay, your meals and the course are one single arrangement. Simple satvik vegetarian food is served through both days.
Four Yagnas, in rotation, on the second Saturday and Sunday of every month at Ekam Kshetra. The weekends of Bandhava Yagna are marked.
Register for one weekend, or for the Yagna Yearly Membership: every Yagna weekend of 2027, all 12, in a single payment. Then choose your accommodation. Seats are shown separately for male and female dormitories.
