What is Karam Kriya?

Karam Kriya the Science of Kundalini Yoga and Applied Numerology. It was developed by Shiv Charan Singh as a tool to understand life’s patterns and guide personal transformation.

Karam Kriya translates to “action in spiritual awareness” (Karam = action, Kriya = complete act) and focuses on transforming karmic limitations into dharma.

Keys aspects of Karama Kriya

 

  • Applied Numerology: It uses numbers as a language to understand life, situations, and behaviors, offering a diagnostic tool to navigate time and space.
  • Purpose: The goal is to consciously complete karmic patterns (karm) and turn them into life-affirming actions (kriya).
  • Foundation: It combines the wisdom of the 10 Sikh Gurus, the 10 spiritual bodies from Kundalini Yoga, and the Mul Mantra.
  • Focus on Communication: Karam Kriya emphasizes conscious communication and interaction as the primary field for evolving human consciousness.
  • Applications: It can be used in counseling, training, and as a lifestyle approach to align with one’s highest potential. 
How can Karam Kriya support you?

Karam Kriya is a practical approach to life. It promotes a life of conscious awareness and effective, purposeful action.

  • Helps reveal your personal blueprint – strengths, challenges, and cycles.
  • Cultivates conscious awareness of subconscious habits so that we can align with our highest intention not past programming.
  • navigate life’s polarities and overcome personal obstacles.
  • Teaches us to recognize the games of the mind and to pause before reacting, cultivating a neutral mind.
The Course: The Possible Human
Humanity is transforming – but what are we becoming?

We cannot remain passive – both action and non-action carry consequence. So how do we stay steady in a turbulent world and make conscious choices, instead of creating more karma? 

In these workshops, we explore how the outer world influences our inner state, and how that shapes the way we act, and make decisions. And we also ask – what does it mean to befriend ourselves, reconcile the past, and stand strong in the world without losing our centre? How can we be the best possible human? 

We work with the science of Kundalini Yoga to build the capacity to remain present under pressure,

      LIMA - Arrival

      SHUTTLES

      Quick Llama is an excellent service! They have airport shuttles that take you door to door to your hotel or airbnb. The cost is $15. It is advisable to book in advance.

       

      CUSCO - Arrival & Getting to the eco lodge

      SHUTTLES

      • If you arrive early and you’re staying in Pisac or on the route from Cusco to the eco lodge we will pick you up and take you to your hotel (approx price $10-$30)
      • If you arrive early and are staying in Cusco we ask you to make your own way to the hotel – Cusco is small and there are a lot of airport taxis
      • Either way, we will organise shuttles on the opening day of the Gathering in the morning and in the afternoon. The cost is between $10 – $30 per person, depending on how many people share.
      • The journey from Cusco takes just about an hour and a half. From Pisac, it is about 45 minutes.

       

      LIMA & CUSCO - What to bring

       

      Lima: Yoga mat. We will have some yoga mats available.

      Cusco: Light shawls for the day, blankets for practice at night – we’re in the mountains 3,000m up! (see Weather)
      Basic walking boots only, unless you’re doing strong treks after.
      A torch
      No need to bring bedding etc. but do bring a towel, soap and toiletries
      Waterproofs for rain – nothing too heavy
      Sunscreen, water bottle and anything you need for your comfort.

      Remember Peru is jumper/poncho central. You can buy more things for warmth if needed in Cusco or Pisac.

      CUSCO - will the altitude affect me?

      We make time for acclimitasation at the start of the journey. Arriving one day early and resting usually does the trick.

      When you arrive at the ecolodge will be able to guide you to acclimatise and also have Mate De Coca tea always at hand. Altitude sickness tablets almost always do the trick.The highest we will go is to Huchuy Qosqo which is at 3,600 metres.

      Some people can get altitude sickness – there’s no rhyme or reason for who gets it or why but it doesn’t last long and you can avoid it with proper rest on arrival. 

       

      Is Nadi Gathering part of the Programme?

      Nadi Gathering is an additional nature and wisdom immersion in Cusco run by Kary Preetam. This is not part of the programme with Shiv Charan Singh and he will not be in attendance. However Nadi Gathering will begin with the day trip to Machu Picchu. Find out more about Nadi Gathering.
