If prescribed by doctor, then you must let us know in advance at the time of registration, we’ll see if we can provide the special food. If we can’t prepare or make it or if the prescribed diet is a hindrance to your silence, then you may have to wait till you finish your diet course. The whole purpose of such silent program is to transcend all limitations and we provide only light food during the program.

Sattvic food helps one sit in silence for long time because the senses are not hyper-active. A diet that is wholly conducive to the practice of silence and one's transformation is called Sattvic diet. Diet is directly connected to how mind functions because mind is formed out of the subtlest portion of food. An ancient sage said: "Food, when consumed becomes threefold: the gross particles become excrement, the middle ones flesh and the fine ones the mind. When food is consumed, the fine particles which rise upwards, form the mind. That proves, the mind is food. Again, by the purity of food one becomes purified in one's inner nature; by the purification of one's inner nature one touches one's Self. When you touch the Self, all ever-assumed bondage and attachments fall away. That's the end of suffering.

People physically too weak to stick to the instructions and schedule may not be able to attend. People who are under psychiatric care are also not recommended. However, if one needs clarification we will be more than happy to assist and see if you can attend the program.

As per the studies, about 90% of the ailments in humans are mental and remaining is physical related. If one can manage through this program, definitely there’s a possibility of overcoming limitations both physically and mentally. Nidhidhyasana can sure bring some balance within and help come out of some of the ailments. But, one must know that this program is not for curing ailments, it could be a side benefit but cannot expect a cure. The straight answer is "No".

Definitely not, instead Nidhidhyasana brings absolute clarity to the life. Currently your awareness and consciousness is at one level; after the program you shall see huge leap in your awareness and you will approach life as fresh as possible and with a balance. But, if you’re going through some advanced mental issues and still decide to attend, maybe you cannot grasp the course and it’s teachings, then you will not benefit. It is always better that you be open and discuss before you attend the program.

Though Nidhidhyasana (the Self-enquiry) is from the ancient teachings and from Hindu scriptures, the course is not about Hinduism or any religious scriptures. It is all about you, the spirit and how you can become the "Being". That's all. All these are knowledge and is food for the mind. But Nidhidhyasana is all about transcending the mind and also about unlearning, so you just “Be”.

It is not allowed except if it's an emergency and a genuine reason. If you discontinue, you are denying an ultimate possibility to yourself. It is advised that you attend the full course to realize the benefits. Only then you will appreciate giving such a wonderful life-time opportunity to yourself. In order to function in this world, you definitely need clarity and you also need balance. You achieve these by completing the course.

Many silence programs are done in various formats and methods mostly engaging the mind to transcend the mind. However, Nidhidhyāsana is Self-enquiry, where the process is to root out the mind itself - a complete experience of rest and peace.

In order to get the ultimate clarity of existence, you must surrender yourself completely to this process. Be fully available and involved without any prejudice of prior knowledge or practices. You must attend Nidhidhyāsana as if you don’t know anything in the spiritual arena. Stay in the program as a fresh life that is eager to blossom to its fullest potential. You should be completely open-minded without any apprehensions. Rigidity or “Oh I know this” attitude will not fetch any good results.
