ANNOUNCING DR. PILLAI’S FIRST IN-PERSON GURU PURNIMA RETREAT IN 5 YEARS
We are thrilled to announce a unique and rare opportunity to join Dr. Pillai’s 2024 Guru Purnima retreat—the first event in five years that he will be hosting both in-person and virtually.
“I have made some important decisions about teaching in person, and I would start it with the Full Moon of the Guru, which falls on July 20. I will be in Washington DC. I committed to appear in person after a long debate.
The planet Jupiter is called Guru, the remover of ignorance. Guru does everything good for everyone. I felt compelled to talk to you about the concept of Guru.
Guru is a planet, and he is also a supreme human teacher. The human teacher is on the earth plane and is endowed with the wisdom to guide people and help them get out of suffering.
The way the Guru does things is very unique. It is his presence that does everything. I felt called upon to do my duty in a very committed manner, and that is why I decided to do this program in person.”
WHAT IS GURU PURNIMA,
THE FULL MOON OF THE GURU?
“It is the most important night when the Moon is extremely powerful. It affects your brain in a significant way to give you greater intelligence. It is not just knowledge, but intelligence of the highest kind. The Yogis acquire Siddhi powers on this day. This happens because the Angels and Ascended Masters (Gurus) come down to the Earth plane during this time.
Guru Purnima is the single most important day. Regardless of who you are, what your stars are, whether you are going through good or bad times, you will all be benefited on that day.”
During the Guru Purnima powertime, July 18–21, 2024, you will have the opportunity to be in Dr. Pillai’s physical or virtual presence—an extremely precious opportunity when he intends to transmit special energy (darshan) to you to awaken your intuitive intelligence and transform your destiny.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The inequality between the haves and have-nots is a matter of brain training. Although brain science is an ever-growing activation of specific parts of the brain for finance, math, and the humanities, it is not available in formal educational training. However, the Yogis and Gurus of India excelled in developing the brain. They have left behind theoretical and practical tools to become superhumans through brain development.
Their knowledge and wisdom will be the focus of Dr. Pillai’s teachings for 2024 and 2025.
He will begin sharing these teachings during the in-person and virtual Guru Purnima retreat and plans to continue building on them during the new yearlong Mystery School program.
8 Supermind Techniques of Patanjali
“You may think it is very hard to manifest your thoughts because a million thoughts are coming in, and most do not materialize. Even the thoughts you want to manifest never get manifested; if they do, they will be negligible. The truth of the matter is, it is very easy to manifest your thoughts. I can answer it in one sentence. Keep on thinking these thoughts over and over and over and over again. Do not think this is simple wisdom from me—it is the wisdom of the Father of Yoga, Patanjali.”
— Dr. Pillai
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras describe various techniques that lead to the development of what is often referred to as "Supermind" abilities or Siddhis. Patanjali Yoga, based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, encompasses a comprehensive system of practices aimed at achieving physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Key Benefits of Practicing Patanjali Yoga
- Enhanced Physical Health: Regular asanas boost flexibility, strength, balance, and overall physical vitality.
- Mental Clarity and Focus: Meditation and pranayama practices clear the mind, improve focus, and elevate cognitive function.
- Stress Reduction: Techniques like deep breathing and relaxation postures soothe the nervous system, reducing stress and promoting inner peace.
- Spiritual Growth: Patanjali Yoga fosters spiritual development through meditation and ethical living, deepening your connection with the divine.
Overall, Patanjali Yoga offers a comprehensive approach to achieving a harmonious balance between body, mind, and spirit, leading to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
“To be thought-free is yoga. Yogas chitta vritti nirodha. Yoga is stopping the mind, not just physical exercise. Physical exercise is also yoga, but it is called the Hatha Yoga.” — Dr. Pillai
Overview of 8 Supermind Techniques
These techniques, when practiced diligently and with guidance, can lead to the development of extraordinary mental and spiritual abilities, as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
1. Dharana (Concentration) for mental clarity.
3. Samadhi (Absorption) for mental discipline.
5. Pranayama (Breath Control) for vitality.
7. Nididhyasana (Deep Contemplation) for profound insights and wisdom.
2. Dhyana (Meditation) for heightened awareness.
4. Samyama (Integration) for deeper knowledge
6. Pratyahara (Withdrawal of Senses) for increasing inner focus.
8. Trataka (Gazing) for improved concentration and inner vision.

8 Siddhi Powers
“We have been talking about Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, particularly Patanjali’s presentation on Mystic Powers, Siddhi Powers, or Miraculous Powers. The bottom line in understanding Siddhi Powers is just a matter of understanding the microcosm and the macrocosm. The microcosm is our body and mind. The macrocosm is the external world.”
— Dr. Pillai
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras mention various Siddhi powers—extraordinary abilities or powers that can be attained through advanced yoga practices and spiritual discipline. These powers are considered byproducts of deep meditation and mastery over the mind and body. Here are eight prominent Siddhi powers:
1. Anima
(Ability to Become Tiny)
2. Mahima
(Ability to Become Large)
3. Garima
(Ability to Become Heavy)
4. Laghima
(Ability to Become Light)
5. Prapti
(Ability to Obtain Anything)
6. Prakamya
(Ability to Fulfill Desires)
7. Ishatva
(Control over Natural Forces)
8. Vashitva
(Control over Others)
1. Anima
(Ability to Become Tiny)
2. Mahima

(Ability to Obtain Anything)
6. Prakamya
(Ability to Fulfill Desires)
7. Ishatva
(Control over Natural Forces)
8. Vashitva
(Control over Others)
These Siddhi powers are often considered extraordinary abilities that can be attained through dedicated practice, deep meditation, and spiritual advancement. However, it is important to note that the pursuit of Siddhis is not the ultimate goal of yoga; rather, they are seen as distractions on the path to self-realization and enlightenment. The true aim of yoga is to attain spiritual liberation (moksha) and union with the divine, beyond the allure of these supernatural abilities.
8 Forms of Lakshmi Invocation
"Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, is eternally smiling. She is refusing to accept anything that is not happiness. She wants the best of everything. She is the embodiment of it. The best clothes, the best jewelry, the best everything. She doesn’t compromise on anything at all. It’s easy to focus on her. It’s easy to talk to her. It’s not convoluted, it’s very, very easy. You can have her statue. You can have a big picture of her. You can talk to her right away."
— Dr. Pillai
Who Are the 8 Forms of Lakshmi?
The eight forms of Lakshmi are collectively called Ashtalakshmi, as "ashta" means eight. She is depicted as eight separate forms and also as one form. Lakshmi’s eight forms represent eight forms of wealth blessings she can bestow.
1. Adilakshmi or Mahalakshmi—Protection & Boons
3. Dhanyalakshmi—Food & Nourishment
5. Gajalakshmi or Rajalakshmi—Royalty & Luxury
