Initiation
Initiation into Sri Vidya is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended. At this event, you have the option to receive initiation directly from Swamiji if you so wish. The choice is entirely yours. Whatever your situation, you are welcome. Here is what this means for you:
If you are not seeking initiation:
You may have already been initiated by another guru (into Sri Vidya or any other practice or mantra) and simply wish to perform Sri Vidya Sadhana and learn more. That is perfectly fine, you do not need to be initiated again.
Or you may never have been initiated by anyone, and wish only to perform Sri Vidya Sadhana alongside Swamiji. You are most welcome.
If you wish to be initiated by Om Swami at this event:
Whether or not you have been initiated by another guru in the past (into Sri Vidya or any other practice or mantra), you are warmly welcome to receive initiation from him here.

Priceless companions
Invoking Mother Divine
“Sri Vidya is the final frontier of sadhana,” says Om Swami. “In the world of mantra science, there’s nothing more powerful, systematic, or elaborate than Sri Vidya. And personally, this is the culmination of all the sadhanas I’ve ever done.”
From the tradition of Sri Vidya flow some of the most treasured jewels of the Sanatana Dharma, including the Lalita Sahasranama and the Sri Chakra itself.
When the devas sent Kama to wake Shiva, the third eye opened and Kama was turned to ash. One of Shiva’s ganas ended up creating Bhandasura from that ash, an unconquerable demon. Only the Divine Mother could vanquish him. Rising from the fire of consciousness as Maha Tripurasundari, she is the heart of Sri Vidya, the most exalted of the shakti paths, where mukti (liberation) and bhukti (opulence) are held in the same hand.
From her appearance to the lineage of sages who invoked her, Om Swami retells the entire legend of Sri Vidya in his inimitable style. This book is a literary and devotional feast, rich in Puranic lore and masterful storytelling. It also includes the complete sadhana of Sri Vidya, drawn from the author’s own direct experience.
The Legend of Sri Vidya will be first made available at the event itself. Prior booking is necessary as there will be no book stall or sales counter at the event.

Invoking Sri Rudram
“This is my finest book yet,” says Om Swami, the bestselling author of eighteen books. “The Legend of Rudra is unlike anything else I have ever written.”
Sri Rudram, also known as Shatarudriya or Rudri Paath, is one of the oldest and most potent Vedic hymns of all time. The famous Mahamrityunjaya mantra and Om Namah Shivaya both emerged from Sri Rudram. What’s more, Shiva’s first appearance as Bhairava in the Vedas is found in this sublime chant.
It all began when the devatas implored Shiva to set aside his mighty bow, Pinaka, lest he hand it to the wrong person out of benevolence. Under Vishnu’s guidance, they composed this extraordinary Vedic hymn. In the thousands of years that followed, many glorious sages invoked its passages for power, grace and atonement.
Rich in Vedic lore and masterful storytelling, this literary and devotional feast comes to you in Om Swami’s inimitable style. Along with profound insights and stories, the book offers the complete translation and sadhana of Sri Rudram, based on his direct experience.
This exclusive hardcover edition, with full-colour illustrations inside, is available only to attendees of this gathering — and only when pre-ordered with your booking. It is not sold anywhere else.
