The Way of the Mahasiddhas
Mahasiddhas Workshops and Events

In this aspect of Tantrik training, we practice the teachings transmitted by the Mahasiddhas, who were extraordinarily enlightened human beings.

What stands out about the Mahasiddhas is that each one had to overcome one very powerful obstacle in their inner psyche to attain full realization. They overcame these inner obscurations through the help of their guru (mentor) and by transforming the limiting energies of the obscurations into the unlimited energies of enlightenment.

The great gift contained in the teachings and practices handed down by the Mahasiddhas is that no matter how confused, bad, incapable, ignorant, addicted, etc. we feel ourselves to be, if we have a sincere heart and enter into the practice we can transform our limited experience of suffering into unlimited radiance of Being. In fact most of the Mahasiddhas “rose up from the ground upon which they stumbled”, to quote a famous Tantrik maxim, that is they directly confronted and transformed their specific inner “demons”.

In essence, the Way of the Mahasiddhas is the path of Tantrik transformation. The student engages in the practices of guru yoga and deity yoga which reveal the base of enlightenment. Then they immerse themselves in the ripening methods of direct realization meditation to complete the process and fully embody the state of Primordial Enlightenment.

Deity yoga meditation uses the mantra and visualization of an enlightened deity to transform our limiting energies into the unlimited radiant spectrum of the deity.

Guru yoga is the process of combing our heart-mind with the essence of the guru’s heart-mind using mantra, visualization and direct meditation to awaken to our inherently enlightened condition.

The Way of the Mahasiddhas transforms our experience from one of isolation and suffering to One with everything, primordially Awake and complete, radiating the enlightened qualities of our True Nature (wisdom, love, compassion, generosity, courage, etc.) into the ten directions for all beings' benefit.
