Living Dwij’ disciplines cover aspects of a ‘Dwij’ life for developing to live an awakened life. These are exercises to train the mind to build spiritual strength. These disciplines incorporate inward exercises without compromising the importance of interpersonal relationships required to live in the society with peace and harmony.

In today’s fast paced world, people live a restless life in the race for satisfying ever increasing physical wants. Becoming a ‘Dwij’ is a kind of awakening to the aspiration of living fully conscious life that is spiritually balanced.

Like physical exercises are for body fitness, ‘Living Dwij’ disciplines are practices to realise the true self by removing all old ‘sanskaras’ (impressions) on the mind and progress towards the highest spiritual goal of gaining liberation from life (‘moksha’) and merging with the ‘Daata’.

Dwij disciplines require ‘offering’ the self before the ‘Daata’ without reservation and in the true essence and meaning of ‘offering’.
