Pitri Paksha 2026
There is a fortnight in the year that belongs to the dead. Not to mourning them. To feeding them, and sitting with them, and doing something with your hands on their behalf. For fifteen days the door is open, and we would like you to come and stand in it with us.
26 September to 10 October 2026
Fifteen days, live and online,
led by Bhairav Ji & Bhairavi Ji
The one you sit for
When you enroll, you tell us who this fortnight is for.
One person, or several. A father. A grandmother you knew for six years. A brother whose name you have not said aloud in a long time. Someone you loved without complication, or someone you are still angry with, or someone you did not speak to for the last decade and now cannot.
It can also be someone you never met. A great-grandmother you know only from a photograph and two family stories. Someone who died before you were born.
Or it can be your ancestors as a whole, the entire line behind you.
Sometimes one person comes to mind, sometimes a few. Those are the ones.
Naming one does not shut anyone out. What is done for one is auspicious for the whole line.
Bhairav Ji and Bhairavi Ji perform the rituals for the ones you name.
You do your part from where you are.
What this is
This is not a course. It is an experiential ritual, done daily, from wherever you are.
We do it in the foundational Siddha Tantra way, which is auspicious whether you have been practising for twenty years or have never done anything like this before.
What you will do
You prepare a place at home. It stays prepared for the whole fortnight and is not put away between days. Whatever you set there on the first day stays there until the end of the rituals.
Each day has something to do, and most days it is not long.
There is food to make, water to offer, and things to set at your place. [and whatever else is true]
Once you sign up we send you what to prepare, what to gather, and the observances to keep during the fortnight.
Substitutes are listed for anything you cannot find where you live.
The two Saturdays
Saturday 26 September opens the fortnight and Saturday 10 October closes it. These two are longer, and they are the ones to keep free if you keep any free.
Every other day
On the thirteen days between, we go live for twenty five to thirty minutes.
We are there every day of the fortnight. Come to as many as you can.
If you cannot be at a session, the recording goes up on the course platform, and you can follow along with it at your own hour.

Rituals for Ancestors

My journey with Tantra is deeply personal and profoundly humbling. Through Siddha Tantra Arts, I share openly from my experiences- not because I have perfected them, but because I have lived through their raw, authentic challenges. I often say, I write and teach so you can learn from my mistakes.
My experiences, combined with the grace of my Gurus, have enabled me to make the esoteric wisdom of the Kulluta Siddhas accessible and transformative for seekers around the world.
Tantra meets you precisely where you are. My role is simply to guide you gently into that liminal space where your being and Tantra intersect- beyond mere ritual or intellectual understanding. My hope is that through our shared exploration, you relax into your own path and enjoy the transformative ride.

Born into a Brahmin lineage rooted in Kubjika Tantra, Yoga, and Karmakand, I spent twelve years training under Himalayan Maha Siddhas in the traditions of Vajra Yogini Tantra. I was honoured with the Kaula Dandadhiikar, mandating me to teach. Teaching is lineage duty - but I feel it as grace and service.
Notably, my paternal aunts were all experts in Ḍāyan Vidyā, a form of negative witchcraft deeply rooted in Vajra Yogini Tantra. This early exposure had a profound influence on my spiritual orientation, naturally steering me towards the practices of Vajra Yogini as I matured.
Blessed by the Maha Siddhas of Himalaya, I was fortunate to be deemed worthy of receiving their profound wisdom and grace, further enhancing my spiritual journey.
I also offer Jwalamalini Vidya, a traditional shamanic Siddha healing art - guiding seekers through spiritual and energetic restoration.

FAQs
1. Journey Overview
-
A:
Mantra Yoga & Chanting Foundations is a two-month Siddha Tantra practice journey into the living discipline of mantra.
Mantra is fundamental in Tantra. In this journey, we begin at the base, with the foundations, the sounds, the breath, the pronunciation, the rhythm, and the inner attitude that allow mantra sadhana to truly take root and flourish.
We will meet every Saturday at 5pm CEST in live sessions on Google Meet, supported by weekly theory, weekly practices, and personal guidance.
Together, we will explore sacred sound, beej mantras, pronunciation, japa, invocation, purification, protection, breath techniques, and awareness practices that help strengthen and deepen mantra chanting.
This course is for those who want to move beyond only repeating a mantra, and begin developing a more precise, intuitive, and living relationship with mantra.
After this journey, your view, perspective, and relationship to mantra will change in an auspicious way. You will have a stronger foundation for continued mantra sadhana, deeper practices, and future more advanced Siddha Tantra Arts immersions.
Come as you are. This is a beautiful time to begin.
