When we did our first program with Isha, we did not really know what we were entering into. There was a lot of mystery as to what is going on with people who have been associated with Isha. Their energy levels, their presence, everything was out of world. And above all, the presence of a Live Guru could not keep us back. We had to do all the advanced programs to be able to do one program with Sadguru. This program is an yearly event and we did not want to wait for another year. So, it all started in January. A 3 day program at Mumbai, then in February, two more programs at Ashram and now we were ready for the Samyama program with Sadhguru.
Mahashivaratri was also in February, just before the Samyama program, which is celebrated in a very grand manner at Isha. And Sadhguru is there all through the celebration. The whole night celebration, with performances by various musicians and singers made it a truly memorable experience. Sadhguru’ discourse on that night was the highlight of the celebrations. The whole night program was telecast live on one of the spiritual channels on the TV, with Hindi translations. I came to know that people really enjoyed watching it from their homes. We were right at the venue, so it was an altogether different experience; we did not blink an eye the whole night, till 6 in the morning.
Samyama is a Silence program, 8 day program where you are not supposed to communicate with the external world at all. Everything at the Ashram is done perfectly to make it possible for all the participants to be able to follow this rather difficult regime. Done by thousand people together, sitting in one big hall, it is an experience of lifetime. It is very beautiful experience. Though it is not really easy, Sadhguru makes it really simple to do it. With no track of time and day, I actually lost track of which day of the program it was. And on the last day, I was under the impression that there is one more day to go. I do not remember many occasions in life where I have lost track of time 
. I wish every day is like that.
I do not want to write about the content of the program, because experiencing it without knowing much about it is the best way to do it. I also went without any idea as to how it is going to be. I wish to be able to do more programs with Sadhguru in the coming years.
