For many years, we have grappled with the paradoxical difficulty of putting into words the immensity of this work and how it impresses itself upon anyone who has experienced it firsthand, or even sensed it through proximity and the undeniable transformation it brings.

In the wake of this day, January 5th, 2026—the 60th birthday of our dear Teacher—we are delighted to offer a hymn of entrance into the heart of the teaching and the governing Power behind this work.

We welcome you to explore exclusive passages from Igor Vamadeva Kufayev's newly published book KUṆḌALINĪ: The Goddess as the Power of Self-Recognition in Trika Saivism.

These intimate reflections come as close as language can manage to convey the essence of it all.

An Ode to Life itself…
A Song of a New Goddess.

Read the full Journal at www.igorkufayev.org/song-of-a-new-goddess, and, if you feel called, we would love to hear your own reflections—so that this living space may continue to resonate and reach into the corners and expanses where it is most needed.

“Beneath the centuries of enquiry and renunciation, beneath the effort to settle what trembles at the root of perception, a current persists in which speech does not chase meaning but moves within its wake. It cannot be recovered by discipline; it enters when holding releases. Older than thought, older even than prayer, it stirs as syllable meeting silence with the delicacy of flame taken to wick. In that flicker, before there is light, there is presence—the quiver of the Goddess, resting in her own resonance, allowing the scene to dissolve even as she inclines toward utterance again.”

– Igor Kufayev, from the book “KUṆḌALINĪ: The Goddess as the Power of Self-Recognition in Tantric Śaivism”

Today, on January 5th, 2026, we light our candles in honour of our beloved teacher on his 60th birthday. With a love continuously woven in the silent pulse from heart to heart—unstruck yet ever-resounding—we offer our deepest gratitude for the grace that overflows, without effort, without asking.

In Vedic tradition, the sixtieth year is marked as Shastipurti: the completion of a full cycle of time, a return to the beginning with the wisdom of having traversed the whole, a sacred threshold toward alignment with dharma, away from worldly pursuit.

And yet the life of Igor Vamadeva Kufayev speaks of something more complete, of a presence that already seeps through all facets of life, where linearity begins to bend—revealing beginning and ending as a single, unbroken gesture of grace.

We wish this day to be filled with beauty and love, together with his family and all who hold him close.

If you feel called to share in this day’s resonance, we warmly invite you to partake—through words or silence—allowing the celebratory field to widen, travel far, and return to the source from which it arose.

As the wheel of the year turns once more, may we embrace the many shades of becoming, while resting in the quiet remembrance of That which pulses beyond all beginnings and endings.

Whether this threshold meets you in shared celebration or in the season’s inward hush, we express deep gratitude for walking together through 2025—for your dedicated presence and every sincere intention through which this work is enlivened. 

It is only through this mutual attunement that a field of Pure Potential is continually woven, expressing through many forms, yet breathing as one.

May our paths cross again—or meet anew—in 2026, guided by courage, reverence, and compassion, as we follow the quiet song vibrating in the depths of the heart.

In this joint spirit, may the following reflections by Igor serve as a guiding light in encountering whatever is yet to come:

WHAT THE BIRTH OF CHRIST REPRESENTS

“...What interests us perhaps here is that hidden dimension that becomes apparent from here, from the existential point of view, of what this phase is set to signify in our spiritual journey; and that what Christmas here to convey is very much linked to the very process of transition—transitioning from something which outlived itself towards something which is literally being born. If we are to stick with this [Gregorian] calendar, then the baby Christ is now lying in the barn, one day old. And we are awaiting for all the magic encounters, beginning with the adoration of the shepherds, only to progress to the adoration of the magi or the visitation of the three kings...
And that baby Jesus here is not so-and-so born in Bethlehem some time ago; but it is that continuity of the way Consciousness will have it. So in other words, the Christmas, in a way, robs us of that understanding because it conceals the otherwise continuity of the experience of the renewal, making it into a once a year event. Because the true understanding, the mystical, the hidden understanding of the birthing of Christ is that it is not fixed to a point in time…

But if we are truly to understand what the birth of Christ represents here, it represents literally that which happens at every instant, not just every day. We could say that it happens every day, but it happens at every instant. It is—it has to. It has to happen at every instant, otherwise there will be no continuity of experience. So the baby Jesus here represents literally that continuity of the interconnectedness of all life exemplified in that crossing of materia prima and spiritus. It is that mystery, the Christian mysteries, where the vertical and the horizontal dimensions meet. When they are literally interlocked to create that what we call our reality—whatever that reality is. Whether that reality is lived, fully being aware of its dimensionalities; or whether it is being only lived at one of its dimensions, at one of its peripheries—it doesn’t matter…

So if you will, that night of the Bethlehem is the perpetually happening. It happens at all times, everywhere, all the time. That rebirthing happens at all times. So we die and being reborn at all times. It’s a perpetual process, and this is what marks the free being. The realized being essentially realized that’s what it is, and nothing else. Continuously dying to something, and continuously being reborn. The attachment to this form is only of superficial value. One can have this haircut or that haircut, this body, nice 18-year-old or 80-year-old if that many years are given.

It makes no difference whatsoever because there is this inner direct realization born out of the cognition that there is nothing other than continuous birth and continuous death—nothing other than this rebirthing that takes place. And that is what we set to celebrate around this time, the time of the birth of Christ, the so-called Christmas—that’s what it’s set to convey. So we can bring that reminder, that check, that checkup, that needed adjustment—that’s what it is. The sudden reminder of the utter immortality, the utter immortality of my own Self. And this is what we are set to contemplate here...”

On World Meditation Day, as the Winter Solstice opens into the longest night, may there be a gentle resting back into the stillness of Being.

It is in the timeless Tantric practice, when the sacred breath reveals itself as the subtle bridge where the infinite meets form, and where every sense of “you“ and “I” is birthed and returned.

You are warmly invited to enter this quiet remembrance of equipoise through a freely offered excerpt from a guided meditation, now available on Igor Kufayev’s YouTube channel.

May your sittings be imbued with peace and vibrant joy, wherever you find yourself at this time.

A hymn rising from grounds long muted —
echoing the remembrance of a shared soul, earth, and belonging.

With deep respect and heartfelt appreciation for this integral work, we warmly invite you to explore and support the upcoming film “If An Owl Calls Your Name”, a fierce offering from the Science and Nonduality community.

SAND continues to screen, with rare courage and honesty, those unspoken and desecrated aspects of our collective and spiritual inheritance. This work stands as a telling reminder of what today’s spirituality is asked to recall, reconcile, and re-embody—the innate dignity of being alive and where to stand one’s ground so the sanctity of life can return through the awakening heart.

May this film serve as a beacon for those listening for unifying truth amidst the fractures of our time.

Within these intimate live containers,
individual efforts to expand consciousness
are amplified – assisting and expediting evolution at the threshold between personal and deeply interrelated.
–––
• Realignment of all our subtle energies to facilitate metamorphic rebirth – the neurophysiology revealing its innate brilliance, as it begins to vibrate at the velocity of its highest potential.

• Deeply held stresses are allowed to surface, shift and integrate, as the lifeforce begins to quicken and do its work on the layers of the light body.

• Shorter programs serve as introductions to the transmission of this Tantric, tradition-based path.

• Longer residential immersions offer a full arc of metamorphosis.
–––
Experience the energies of transformation in the exploration of Consciousness as a living, breathing reality – safely held in these containers. A doorway for embodied realisation which reconfirms itself within the sacred everyday, shaping the new era of a consciousness-based culture that lies ahead in its full potential. Reclaimed by those who feel its call.

"Life is an expression of the Absolute. With this, and from this point of view, in terms of this particular philosophical take, life here is not an epiphenomenon. It's not a mirage. It's not an illusion. It's not what it appears to be. It is the Body of God. It is the Body of Awareness.

Awareness projects itself out of its own plentitude into a form. It hums itself into a form. This is the deep meaning of the logos. It throbs itself, vibrates itself, hums itself, quivers itself, until it begins to crystallise. Crystallise down at the level of these cascading categories of creation, until it becomes tangibly this - this and that(…)That throb continues, continues speaking its own name - now translates as this and that. This emotion, that feeling. 

This is an invitation to reevaluate this, potentially, if there is enough of that oomph. What this truly here represents, this reality of being human, life and all that what it is inseparable from(…)But all boils down to that, what life here represents. Because if there is no life, to whom, does this apply? To homogeneous consciousness? Transcendental awareness? To whom this applies? It only applies to an affair of being human and no one else. It only applies whilst this, what we call fleeting moment of being alive, whilst the life force animates the body. Without that, this is meaningless."

– Igor Kufayev, Mexico, October 2025

****

A spiritual teaching which not only affirms life but, at once, affirms itself. 
So life lived to its fullest, squarely and cyclically, expresses as rarified richness - as this and that.

In the unceasing spring of the Mexican mountains, our 10-Day immersion concludes today, on this auspicious day of Diwali, with this very sense of plentitude, reflected in the light that was expressed: From the deeply embodied ayurvedic wisdom shared by Amrita Ma Devi on the refined essences that nourish our well-being and awakening body, from the grossest to its sublest layer. 

To a livestreamed Q&A, broadcasting the precise teaching to bring near those who partook from afar. 

And the simple joys and marvels of all the rich moments in between.
