World Peace Yoga School – Birthplace of Yoga & Tantra
Welcome to the 10 Mahavidya Sadhana Retreat
The 10 Mahavidya Sadhana Retreat at World Peace Yoga School, Rishikesh – This is an uncommon opportunity to learn and practice the wisdom of the ancient traditions of Shakta Tantra. This retreat is for dedicated seekers who feel a profound inner pull toward Shakti consciousness, self-inquiry , and towards fulfillment through a committed sadhana.
The Mahavidyas are not abstract symbols or ritual practices – they are a living stream of cosmic power symbolizing the highest truths in nature. To navigate this journey is to meet fear, ego, attachment, delusion, and limitation while you slowly awaken clarity, courage, compassion, and inner freedom. This retreat provides a safe and down-to-earth approach to Mahavidya Sadhana, no sensationalism, but focused on inner purifying, integrating, and becoming aware.
The 10 Mahavidyas are the epitome of the entire cosmic wisdom and human consciousness:
Every Mahavidya is introduced with a mantra, meditation, awareness exercise, and an intellectual comprehension, so that there is change without imbalance or extremism.
TMahavidya Sadhana Retreat Course & Why Choose This?
Rishikesh is also the world capital of Yoga, with proximity to the holy Ganges River in the foothills of the Himalayas. For thousands of years, sadhus, yogis, tantriks, and seekers have practiced intensive sadhana here.

Rishikesh is a place where Sadhaks can pursue the Mahavidya Sadhana, being well grounded in their known realms and yet explore inner energies & powers, because when we speak of tantra rituals, they are not without risk.
World Peace Yoga School is a globally recognized spiritual, religious, and yoga learning institution that fosters the accurate teachings of spirituality, yogic philosophy, tantra, spiritual scriptures, and healing science.
Our approach is:
We think Tantra is not about your power or my power — it is the truth, love, and liberation. Our Mahavidya retreat is practiced under strict yogic guidance and respect in the tradition.
This retreat is a structured spiritual journey, not an experimental or casual program. The emphasis is on inner transformation, not external rituals or dramatic practices.
Core Practices Include:
Introduction of a Mahavidya is gradual for the nervous system and mind to be stable and open.
This retreat is suitable for:
Not recommended for:
Unfortunately, in the modern era, Tantra is widely misunderstood and misapplied. This retreat brings Tantra back to its authentic yogic roots—liberation in awareness.

The 10 Mahavidya Sadhana Retreat in Rishikesh is not an Easy Path – It Is the True Path! It requires honesty, discipline, and courage - but it results in significant inner freedom. We welcome only those who are prepared to walk this sacred path with the respect and devotion that it deserves!
May Shakti awaken wisdom within you. May your journey be guided by truth.
