”Min kundalini vaknade av Shaktipat från Rohanji och Vaani för ungefär en månad sedan. Jag har alltid trott att det som beskrivs i yogans litteratur var metaforer. Vad fel jag hade! Under kirtan och Shaktipat blev musiken till silverkulor (i brist på bättre ord) som rann som vatten över golvet och bubblade upp, runt och i mig. Sen växlade jag form några gånger, blev gigantisk, blev väldigt liten, blev en yoni och sedan ett torn som tittade ner i ett svart hål. Följt av elektricitet i mig, en sån vansinnig kraft och bländande vitt ljus. Efter ett tag gick det rakt ut i mina händer och stannade där. Men hur fantastiskt det än var så var det dagarna efteråt som var vackrast. Allt var kärlek och så otroligt levande och vackert, som att uppleva hela världen för första gången igen.”
“During the first shaktipat session, I witnessed intensified stillness in the body, deafening silence in the mind, darkness- a void… my familiar friend i retreated into (though with lesser intensity). When Rohanji placed his palm gently on my head, through this still, silent, dark void, I witnessed a beam of awareness penetrate my crown like a thunderbolt, strike through the heart, bounce off the base and rise back up enlivening the deathly void. As per Vedic texts, I can say I was struck by the vajra.”
“It’s been 3 weeks post Shaktipat with Vaani and Rohanji. I thought I was experiencing bliss and absorption before but now it’s a whole new level, I fall into a meditative state very easily, quickly and deeply. The bliss is like an orgasmic force rising followed with bright white light or stars/fireworks. It all comes in waves moments of deep stillness and then the bliss just comes out all of a sudden and back to deep stillness that keeps going deeper as the meditation goes on. I am so amazed and grateful for this rapid shift and so looking forward to next Shaktipat soon and to hear Vaani’s magical singing voice. Thank you.”
Our days together will encourage understanding of your human nature, obstacles and divine make up, which will help unveil your inherent divinity. The scenery and inspired meditations will encourage deep presence, with yourself and the surroundings.
By allowing ourselves to be in, and with the moment, as it is, with acceptance and compassion for all that we hold and carry, with curiousity and openess towards the forces of Life, we touch and become intimate with the essential fabric of our very existence. The life force in its state prior to form. We naturally become inspired and infused, uplifted and encouraged to face our past hurts, to allow self-healing to take place, for tension and blockages to be cleared, and to mature into authenticity and spiritual maturity.
Experience the potent simplicity in honoring your life and learn how to make your life a meditative journey of deepening divinity.
Enjoy nature in a new way, sense the unity of all, amongst the tall trees, deep roots, flowers on the meadow and the water in the lake. Meditate with the sky. Merge with divine essence. And most of all cherish your person as a divine creation, contractions and all.
My hope is that this retreat will inspire and anchor your spiritual journey, provide clarity and aim, and enrich your life with beauty.
Vaani Devi,
Shaktipat Acharya of Advaitashram
“THANK YOU!
It’s only 10 months since I found this online ashram and started participating in the Shaktipat events, 1:1 sessions with Vaani, 7 day intensive transmissions and zoom meetings. I feel alive!
I see clearly, I can express myself without effort, I am confident, present, and mind is silent. I feel so natural, I literally feel home everywhere, I love and feel loved. I am love.
Many blocks and misconceptions have been cleared, Kundalini circuit flows up and down like a river without resistance, I enter shoonya, sometimes I merge with reality around me, I become everyone and everything.
This aliveness in the body, full of life energy!
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am the eternal shiva!
Forever grateful.”
“I had the immense joy and a deep heartfelt HOMECOMING, meeting Vaani. I stand in immense reverence for Rohan and Vaani for the field of energy. The experience was as gentle as it could be and the unfolding as potent it can BE.”
“Vaani embodies Grace in each particle of her being and with that touch of grace and ease she guides you effortlessly through any hardship. One simple touch or look can remind you of how simple it can be to…simply be. And all that other stuff, that we do to keep ourselves from true self-love, she silently holds space for in an all-encompassing way.”
“My heart just exploded energy rushes up and down my spine out top of my head crown lit up. I’m home! My heart just knows the truth and I spoke with god/source, “ I never left you my child” what on earth just happened. Tears and shaking and laughing I saw angel wings and a man in my vision.”
“With her gentle touch she meets you where you’re at and lifts you into growth. Her words are clear, articulate and light with detachment. Her radiant smile and calm voice is soothing to the soul. To me, she is living proof that words, culture, ideologies, theories, countries and all such false impressions are irrelevant… as a human whose root is in communion with it’s crown has nothing to do but silently emanate this gyan with grace. Deeply grateful for her loving presence.”

TEACHER’S BIO
Marie Lindström Kapur/Vaani Devi, Shaktipat Acharya
Vaani has been walking a life long yogic path of an intense Self inquiring nature. Her Kundalini blossomed into Self-realization upon meeting Rohanji and in the divine play of manifestation they were to also get married. His guidance and the teachings of Nondual Tantra and Advaita Vedanta came to confirm mystical experiences and Samadhi states enveloping her, changing her perception, ushering the embodiment of Devi, ever unfolding.
She facilitates Shaktipat through transmissions of voice and song in transcendental kirtan, as well as the traditional initiation of touch and sight.
