Instruction in ancient practice by Vedic Master with a contemporary voice

the newly awakened Likhita Yoga

Welcome

Yoga is more than poses

The beautiful, enriching world of Yogic instruction and lifestyles is greater than the poses we all know and revere. Likhita Japa - sometimes called Yogic Journaling - is a spiritual practice involving repeatedly writing a sutra. This practice is as old and revered as its asana (pose) counterpart. The sutra can be written in lines, shapes, or other designs to enhance one's personal experience. The repetitive writing brings peace, strength, and poise. It can also be a way of writing love letters to our universe and is used to gain purity and clarity in our minds.

Siddha Yogi Richard Esquinas describes Likhita Japa as “a sacred variation closely aligned with meditation where the sutra or mantra is written down. Forms include sentences, or in shapes in any design. This repetitive writing brings peace, poise, and strength within.”

Esquinas, the American Yogi, has practiced Likhita since the late 1970s following a period of instruction in Transidential Mediation at Maharishi International University. After his residenc6y at MIU, Esquinas turned to Pandit D. S. Dixit for the formal study of Lihkita. Dr. Dixit later granted Esquinas his formal rights of passage into the Siddhis.

“The act of repetition invokes the laws of Quantum from which we can find peace and stimulation all at the same time." Says Esquinas, "Practicioners experience a sense of engaging with the Universe as a living essence. Through repetition comes a vibration and a connection with higher powers."

Here at The Likhita School, Siddha Esquinas leads students in a practice focused on written sutras open to all levels of interest and training. His Lihkita Learning Kit jumpstarts your understanding and practice to this ancient art and includes personal, vedhic, direct online instruction.

Lihkita practitioners report:

increased ability to focus
clarity to identify challenges
strength to conquer challenges
peace from knowing challenges can be overcome.

Two Millenia of Proof

As documented by the Smithsonian Institute, in an age when we can delete digital words with the press of a button, it can be hard to appreciate the sanctity, mystery, and power that written texts hold for historic cultures.

In Eastern Orthodoxy, the most powerful of all texts were the canonical scriptures known as sutras. These sutras were not only key vehicles for transmitting the teachings, but they were also objects of numinous beauty, solace, and protection.

Sutras took on particular importance in times of crisis. Buddhists in eleventh-century Japan believed they had entered the third and final age, during which a darkness of ten thousand years would obscure the dharma.

Against this backdrop, sutras reached a peak of sumptuousness and artistry through aristocratic patronage. Protected in temples or ceremonially buried in tomblike mounds, these sutras would preserve the dharma until the Future Buddha descended to usher in a new golden age.

The Future Buddha’s distant appearance ultimately gave way in Japan to the allure of immediate salvation through faith in Amitabha, the buddha of the Western Pure Land.

Here at The Lihkita School, we strive to renew the age of sutras and the practice of Lihkita Japa. It is open to all faiths, or no faith, as it draws upon the quantum laws of repetition inherent in the Universe.
