ANCIENT WISDOM
MODERN MASTER
The First Yoga Guru who brought
the Inner Dimension of Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga
to the West, 1960
Shaktipat Guru
Gurudev Shri Amritji is the first carrier of the Lord Lakulish and Kripalu Shaktipat Lineage to the West. Over the years his charismatic presence and powerful teachings of this Lineage of Prana have spread worldwide. His teachings through this Shaktipat Lineage ignited the fire that began the initial renaissance of the Inner Dimension of Yoga in the 20th century.
In the last 58 years, Amritji has founded some of the largest yoga and health centers in North America. Today there are more than 10,000 yoga, yoga nidra and yoga therapy teachers, teaching the inner dimension of yoga he developed, in more than 45 countries. Amritji resides in the thriving international Amrit Yoga Center he founded in Salt Springs, Florida.
Nectar is an artistic masterpiece. It exquisitely reveals the direct experience of Energetic Transmission-Shaktipat. This film is an intimate portrayal exploring how the grace of shaktipat can be transmitted remotely from Guru to Disciple. When the Guru enters into attunement to the universal source of pranic energy his presence acts as a catalyst, activating the life-force for those who are open and receptive.
Testimonials
Michael A. Singer, Author of the #1 New York Times Best Seller The Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment
There is simply no way to write about such a special human being in just a few paragraphs. After meeting (Shri Amritji) for the first time, a channel had been opened in my heart and a warm flow of energy kept passing through it. It has been more than 35 years now, but it is always there. The simple touch of Amritji's hand permanently opened my heart chakra.
