Shripur
An old map, a new instrument.
A closed-loop instrument on an ancient path. It reads brain, heart and breath and shapes a field of light to you, in real time, with a guide beside you, always.
The Shripur Instrument
Closed loop
Patent pending · IN 202611124329
A light that closes the loop.
It reads brain, heart and breath, and shapes the field to you while it is happening. As you settle, it steps aside.
- Brain, heart and breath are read together on the Instrument.
- As you settle the field recedes; it returns if needed.
- The guide watches over it, and decides.
Reads
Brain, heart and breath, from a few small sensors.
Shapes
A field of warm light: its rhythm, depth and brightness, in real time.
Steps aside
When you no longer need it, so the depth is yours.
Guided
A certified guide in every session. Concept film; the final design will differ.
Anatomy · the light head
Built, not imagined.
The listening core is built and working. The light head is in development: light mixed in a white cavity until the field is perfectly even, driven by the loop, on its own battery.
- 01The facea diffuser: one even field, no point of light
- 02The cavitya white tray that mixes the light until it is even
- 03The emittersa warm ground with a deep-red wash, and a white layer that carries the rhythm
- 04Driver and timingthe loop runs here, as plain code
- 05The shellbronze, holding the head on its arc
- 06The batteryin the base: its own power, never the wall
Sensing
Eight channels at 24 bits, 250 samples a second, on open hardware.
Loop
Reads, shapes, steps aside. Plain auditable code on the device. No AI in the loop.
Power
Battery only, never the wall.
Status
Patent pending, IN 202611124329. Independent optical-safety testing before release.
Read. Respond.
Step aside.
Many devices read the mind, and many more play light and sound at it. Connecting the two is the harder part, and it is the part we build. Engineering closed this kind of loop long ago: a thermostat reads the room and adjusts the heat.
Sense, interpret, act, sense again is one of the most productive patterns in modern engineering. Shripur applies it to contemplative practice, with one rule that shapes everything: as you go deeper, the light steps back. The Instrument reads where you actually are, not where a programme assumes you are, and shapes the light to you, moment by moment.
That is closer to what a very good teacher does, and there have never been enough of those. India catalogued routes inward over thousands of years; we are rebuilding that path for the person who exists now, from the texts up, with an instrument at its centre. The Path
One path, six layers.
One map runs through all six. The texts are its source. The manuals turn it into practice. Retreats and workshops are where it is walked with a guide. The Instrument carries it into light. The app carries it home, and the objects carry it on the body.
One map beneath all of it.
Every layer carries the same map: nine enclosures of the Śrī Cakra, from the world at the gate to a single point at the centre, drawn from India’s texts on sacred geometry and read in plain language. Nothing in Shripur places you on it. It is there to walk.

A light that reads you, and goes with you.
It reads brain, heart and breath.
It shapes the light to you.
It knows when to step aside, so you go further.
Many people meet colour and shifting geometry behind closed eyes; others go somewhere stiller. Both are the path. The light goes as deep as you do, and if you need it, it returns.
Three journeys, three texts.
Each journey is a route inward drawn from a text, with its own yantra and its own rhythm of light. Your guide chooses it with you; the Instrument shapes it to you.
Two paintings and one exact drawing, gently moving. The light in a session is a soft, even field, not a picture.
And when you are ready, it brings you back.
Three ways in.
The first journeys will be held with the founders, in India. Certified guides and partner houses, in India and in Europe, will join as they qualify.
Retreat centres and wellness houses, in India and Europe: become a founding house.
Shripur earns from places on journeys, Academy tuition, the Instrument for certified guides and houses, and membership. How the path sustains itself.
Rebuilt from the sources.
Every journey has a text of origin. We translate them, with commentary, in plain English, and publish them. The texts are the foundation the whole stack stands on.
श्रीमाता श्रीमहाराज्ञी श्रीमत्सिंहासनेश्वरी
Śrīmātā, Śrīmahārājñī, Śrīmatsiṃhāsaneśvarī: the first three of the thousand names.
The objects: Sri Protocol, a service tag for the inner path, with the whole Śrī Cakra exact in raised lines. In preparation. Concept render.
Held with care.
Every guest is screened privately by their guide before a first session, and first sessions are short and gentle. A stop control stays within your reach at every moment, and your guide can end the session at once.
It will never show you a score, never run in untrained hands, and never play a fixed programme at you. When you need the light it comes back, and when you do not it stays out of the way.
Light over closed eyes is not for everyone, and some people respond very little. The practice, the stillness and your guide’s care are the heart of it. What we know, and what we do not
Shripur is not suitable if you are under 18 or pregnant. It is not suitable if you have epilepsy, seizures or sensitivity to flickering light, or if a parent, sibling or child does. It is not suitable with bipolar disorder or a history of psychosis, in you or in a parent, sibling or child. It is also not suitable with a dissociative condition, a recent trauma, a recent head injury, a pacemaker or other implanted device, or medication that acts on the brain (other than antidepressants), after recent alcohol or recreational drugs, or after less than four hours of sleep in the last day. If you are unsure about any of these, tell your guide: unsure counts as yes.
Built by people who have been there.
You cannot build a door you have not walked through. Neha and R.K. Luthra both teach in the Iyengar and Śrī Vidyā traditions; she holds the first journeys, he builds the Instrument.
It began with one question: could light be shaped not to dazzle but to accompany a person inward, and leave the moment it is no longer needed?
