Awakening : The path of Vigyan Bhairav

Long description -actually took 15 years in the making and to create this offering...

I am delighted to offer the community here in North Texas, a dedicated weekly course class on Vigyan Bhairav - the true path of meditation with ancient techniques for deep awareness, healing, and self-realization.
Awakening: A Path of Vigyan Bhairav - A Transformational Meditation Class Series that we are starting today and every Wednesday at 6 PM at Mystic Mandala Center
This immersive class series is designed to introduce and deepen your understanding of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra - an ancient yogic text that reveals 112 meditation techniques (dharanas) to attain self-realization and transcendence.
It is a sacred conversation between Lord Shiva (Bhairav) and Goddess Parvati (Bhairavi), where Shiva imparts profound methods for awakening through direct experience rather than philosophy or rituals.
Unlike traditional spiritual paths that require renunciation, Vigyan Bhairav Tantra embraces all aspects of life—including breath, senses, emotions, and even sensuality—as doorways to enlightenment.
This journey will help you cultivate deep awareness, dissolve limitations, and integrate Tantra into your daily life. In the coming weeks, we will start deepening our understanding of this sacred process of spiritual growth and cover the following -
