The 10 Tantrik Yamas

Yama #7 of the Classical Yogic Tradition

Dhrti

Hail the Lord of Innocence & Simplicity
Mental Fortitude & Mantra Science

Dhrti (धृती) — determination, steadfastness, and mental fortitude — is the seventh quality of virtue cultivated within the yogic ethical framework of Yamas. This vital inner strength empowers the yogi to hold firm to their purpose and spiritual path despite distractions or challenges, acting as the lynchpin for deeper self-mastery and higher states of consciousness.

In this satsanga, we’ll explore Dhrti through the lens of Mantra Science — the ancient art of cosmic resonance — learning how to weave true presence and unwavering flow into everyday life. Discover how cultivating steadfastness is essential for sustaining a vibrant, engaged, and joyful spiritual practice.

  • Guided Meditations: Practices designed to center and heal your energetic makeup, cultivating inner stability and clear alignment with your deeper purpose.
