MY DEAR TAO SEMKO,

GOOD MORNING.
IT IS VERY NICE TO FIND YOU. I HAVE TO QUALIFY ALL THE PROGRAMMES AVAILABLE WITH
UMAA TANTRA COLLEGE TO BECOME A TEACHER OF THE SAME. KINDLY INFORM THAT HOW
MUCH TIME/MONEY IT REQUIRES ?? DO YOU ARRANGE ANY RESIDENT COURSE ALSO AT
MIAMI BEACH WHICH I WISH ?? I AM IN LUCKNOW CITY OF INDIA.
WITH REGARDS,
SADGURU DHYANAGYE*****, LUCKNOW, INDIA

Hi S.D.!
Nice to find you too! Our Level One instructors are proficient in teaching the basic principles
of hatha yoga, kriya yoga, mantra, and laya yoga meditation, along with the basics of both
moving and still qigong. To become instructors, they are either personal students of Santiago
or me, or Tantric Inner Circle Gold membership subscribers for two years. They then
demonstrate their abilities, and take an additional instructor training course. Level One
Instructors are qualified to teach the first two years of our material.

To become a teacher of the college itself (teaching other instructors) you would have to be
able to enter into samadhi and remain in it at will, and have experienced several degrees of
realization, beginning with realization of the self (atman in the hindu systems), and moving
through realization of anatman, experiential realization of voidness, and so on... All of these
levels of realization are possible with proper practice of the first two years of T.I.C. materials.

In addition, your training in order to teach with us would include healing practices, martial
arts training, general understanding of ayurveda/ traditional chinese medicine/ tibetan
medicine, and understanding of the higher views and mutual practices of higher tantra, chan/
dzogchen and taoism.

We have no residential dormitories, but individuals seeking instructorship do frequently

move to Miami Beach or Kendall to train with us. A good example is Esly Caldwell, who
previously lived and studied both vipassana meditation and tantric yogas in India for a year
and a half.
