SUMMARY:Narada Bhakti Sutras – Treatise on Love and Surrender
DESCRIPTION:Sitting in his hermitage of Badrika-Ashram\, one day Sage Ved Vyasa asked Sage Narada\, “Man seeks freedom. This seeking without devotion is dry. Many paths lead to freedom but they have importance only in so far as they are auxiliary to devotion. I\, therefore humbly ask you to share with me the virtue of devotion.” Sage Narada said\, “I shall explain devotion to you in the form of sutra (aphorism).” Saying so\, the sage delivered a discourse on devotion in 84 aphorisms\, later known as the Narada Bhakti Sutras. He also blessed Sage Ved Vyasa and said\, “Its full explanation shall be given by you in the ‘Srimad Bhagavatam’ Mahapurana later.” \nWithin this text\, Sage Narada explains the perfectional stage of unconditional love and devotion and the ways to achieve this state; gives examples from other Vedic personalities on the subject matter; cautions against the obstacles that come up in developing bhakti; and finally explains the nature of selfless love and the different forms of attainment to the Supreme bliss. \nGurudeva Swami Rama has written\, “The power of emotion is one of the highest of powers\, and if directed properly\, it leads one to the highest state of ecstasy. In the path of Bhakti\, one does not expect any rewards. He totally surrenders everything to the Lord. The offering is not just a flower or a fruit\, but all of oneself. The offering is the devotee himself. In self-surrender an individual becomes an instrument of the Lord\, and his mind\, his action\, and speech become channels for the expression of Bhakti. When the mind does not disturb\, distract\, and dissipate human potentials\, then higher-consciousness reveals itself through such a human being. Love is the very basis of renouncing selfishness. As one’s love for the Lord intensifies\, attachment to all else simply fall away of its own accord. In the path of Bhakti\, one does everything for the Lord; no importance is given to individuality. A student of this path remains fearless always. ” (Choosing A Path). \nIf there is anything that has the capacity to make life filled with happiness and serenity\, it is Pure Love. It has the power to enable one to experience Parama-ananda (supreme bliss). This unique study with Rabindra Sahu will offer many insights into the nature of Pure Love\, Devotion\, and Surrender.

SUMMARY:Himalayan Yoga Tradition – Teacher Training Program Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Our Himalayan Yoga Tradition – Teacher Training Program (HYT-TTP) offers an integrated program of self-transformation leading to self-realization in the authentic tradition of Swami Rama of the Himalayas. HYT-TTP\, as its parent organization\, AHYMSIN\, is dedicated to making available the teachings of Swami Rama. \nOur program is a systematic\, sadhana-based program. “Sadhana” is a Sanskrit word which means undertaking a practice so as to cultivate and refine one’s character. The main goal of our program is to deepen the students’ sadhana so that they can transmit authentic yoga teachings to others\, not only from a storehouse of academic knowledge\, but also from a depth of personal experience. \nOur comprehensive curriculum offered through home study\, mentoring\, and ashram retreats presents all aspects of yoga and meditation in a spiritually inspiring context. The student’s progression through the home study is managed interactively and facilitated by an active discussion board\, each student being followed and supported by a mentor who is well versed in the tradition. \nThe HYT-TTP consists of 3 levels. Each level requires at least one year of study and practice. The student will progress through three study levels becoming gradually more aware of the subtle layers of personality. Swami Rama defined this growth process as the attainment of some degree of disentanglement from attachments\, allowing one to see that which s/he was previously “blind to”: \n\nLevel One – Awareness: exploration and self-acceptance\nLevel Two – Control: mindfulness and regulation of emotions\nLevel Three – Synthesis: harmonious whole personalit\n\nFor more details\, kindly visit – www.HimalayanYogaTradition.com

SUMMARY:Sadhana Panchakam: 40 Steps towards Liberation
DESCRIPTION:Towards the end of his life\, the disciples of Sri Adi Sankaracharya requested him to give them a summary of his approach towards spiritual life. It is then that he composed a short text containing only 5 verses – the Sadhana Panchakam. \nThe text contains 40 instructions\, furthering one’s journey on the path to liberating oneself. It goes beyond any philosophical engagements and offers practical means into the very essence of Sadhana at every stage of one’s spiritual life. For this reason\, Sadhana Panchakam is also known as the Upadesha Pancharatnam\, meaning the “Five precious gems of advice or teaching”. \nThese 40 instructions are presented in a systematic and sequential manner. Thus\, it is also known by a third name\, Sopana Arohana Nyaya\, which means “A logical climbing ladder in Sadhana”. \nThe present study and reflections with Rabindra Sahu on the instructions given by Adi Sankaracharya may significantly help us all in gaining clarity on our spiritual practice.

SUMMARY:Mantra Practice After Initiation: Purash-charana
DESCRIPTION:  \nMantra is very central to meditation practice. In the Himalayan Tradition of Yoga Meditation\, the mantra stands as a representative of the eternal silence\, the abode of the Lord of Life within. \nIn the Mundaka Upanishad\, it is mentioned that “In the tree of life\, there sits two eternal birds and they can never be separate. One is individual self—Jiva\, and another is universal self—Ishwara\, the Lord. It is the individual soul who experiences the sweet and bitter fruits of the tree of life. The cosmic self just witnesses and remains radiant for ever.” \nElsewhere in the Upanishads\, it is said that\, in the chariot called human body\, the universal self and the individual self\, travel together from time immemorial\, so the sole purpose of meditation is to realise and experience within the omniscient and omnipotent universal self with its omnipresent. \nThat superconscious self projects itself through innumerable cosmic entities (Vedic deities). The mantras are the sonar (sound) forms of those cosmic entities and mantra initiation means handing over to a divine being who is the representation or himself a universal conscious being with infinite divine virtues. \nThe Upanishads declare that the sages by meditating on the cosmic sounds or mantras went into deep states of meditation and discovered/realised that the great power of universal conscious principle (Devatma Shakti) within. \nWe have in our tradition the systematic and precise approach to meditation mentioned in the ancient scriptures which are further commented and explained by Shri Swami Rama and Shri Swami Veda Bharati\, which helps the serious students of meditation to enhance their understanding and practicing skills to reach the ultimate goal of meditation. \nThis unique retreat with Shri Raghavendra Adiga is offered only to those who have received Mantra Initiation within the Himalayan Tradition. They will have an opportunity to go deeper in their personal mantra through the practice of Purash-charana. \nRaghavendra Adiga ji is a mantra initiator within the Himalayan Tradition. He is also a member of the AHYMSIN Adhyatma Samiti\, or Spiritual Committee.  He is the center leader of the Himalayan Centre for Yoga Meditation\, Tumkur\, Karnataka\, India\, which is an AHYMSIN Affiliated center.

SUMMARY:Sun Salutations as Worship
DESCRIPTION:The practice of Surya Namaskara consists of a succession of twenty four Hatha Yoga postures done in a smooth flow according to a specific progression.  Since it came into manifestation\, this practice has been closely associated with the attitude of devotion and worship and can be experienced as a form of prayer involving movement and full body awareness. \nIn this seminar with Pandit Priyadarshan (Pierre Lefebvre)\, we will learn the basic postures constituting the sequence of the Solar Salutation as taught in traditional Hatha Yoga according to the Himalayan Tradition.  We will also highlight the different directions in which we can bring our practice\, as well as how to bring the element of devotion\, worship and bhakti into our daily practice of Surya Namaskara.

Swami Rama defined this growth process as the attainment of some degree of disentanglement from attachments\, allowing one to see that which s/he was previously “blind to”: \n\nLevel One – Awareness: exploration and self-acceptance\nLevel Two – Control: mindfulness and regulation of emotions\nLevel Three – Synthesis: harmonious whole personalit\n\nFor more details\, kindly visit – www.HimalayanYogaTradition.com

SUMMARY:Choosing a Path
DESCRIPTION:Sharing the essential wisdom and living practices of yoga’s major paths: Jnana Yoga\, Bhakti Yoga\, Karma Yoga\, Raja Yoga\, etc. \nIn today’s modern times\, we have done so much research on matter\, mind\, and energy\, yet we have not discovered the ways and methods of attaining happiness and loving others selflessly. The search for truth alone thus provides a ray of hope for the individual and for humanity as a whole. \nThis in-person retreat with Rabindra Sahu offers a glimpse into some of the paths of yoga so that we are able to choose the one path that is most appropriate for our own personal spiritual journey.

SUMMARY:Meditation and Its Practice
DESCRIPTION:This six-day programme is as much appropriate for beginners as for more advanced seekers treading the path of spirituality. The foundation stones of meditation will be approached in a scientific and systematic manner. Preparations and progressions of meditation practice will be shared step by step. This course will give you the tools to establish and pursue a regular personal meditation practice. \nIn his book Meditation and Its Practice\, Swami Rama of the Himalayas wrote: \n“For thousands of years\, the science of meditation has been studied and practiced by aspirants who sought to make their lives more serene\, creative and fulfilling. Meditation will give you the capacity to improve your health\, your relationships and the skilfulness with which you perform your activities. This is because meditation can do something no other technique can accomplish – it introduces you to yourself on all levels and finally leads you to the center of consciousness within\, the higher self\, which is called Atman.” \n\nRecommended Readings:\n\nMeditation and Its Practice by Swami Rama\n“Beginning Meditation” in Night Birds by Swami Veda Bharati\nMeditation: Art and Science by Swami Veda Bharati\nAudio with book: Learn to Meditate (plus relaxation exercises) by Swami Veda Bharati.\nVideo: Treading the Path of Superconscious Meditation by Swami Rama\nThe Royal Path by Swami Rama\nHolistic Living Manual by Swami Rama\nConscious Living by Swami Rama

SUMMARY:Mind\, Meditation\, and You
DESCRIPTION:How to Energize Your Mind to Regain Your Divine Strength\nA workshop based on the section “Strong Mind\, Weak Mind\,” from the soon-to-be-published book\, Mind: The Playground of Gods\, by Swami Veda Bharati. \nSwami Rama said\, “All of the body is in the mind but all of the mind is not in the body.” In the “modern” world we think of the mind as equivalent to the brain\, which occupies only the small space within the skull. How can it be that all of the mind is not in the body when the brain is entirely in the body? What was that Swami thinking? The answer is that\, according to yoga philosophy\, the mind is a subtle energy field\, whereas the body is gross. The mind field is subtler than prana\, subtler than the body\, subtler than your clothes\, but is still considered to be material and this mind energy field is greater than the body. In other words\, the body lives within the subtler mind field. \nIn this series of Zoom sessions\, we will study this knowledge through the lens of Swami Veda’s writings and lectures. There will be talks by the leader\, readings from Swami Veda’s upcoming book\, introspection\, group discussions\, and group practice. This will be an opportunity to get a better understanding of the mind and a chance to strengthen your mind. \n\nAbout the Workshop Leader\nRandall Krause is a Senior Teacher and Mentor in the Himalayan Yoga Meditation Tradition.\nHe has been an initiate for more than 30 years and spent much time learning closely from Swami Veda Bharati. He also often personally served Swamiji in India and America. He has taught the Himalayan Tradition in the USA\, Europe\, India (at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama)\, and Thailand and Taiwan. Randall has closely studied “Sadhana in Applied Spirituality” and experimented with applying the principles in his own life.

SUMMARY:Hatha Yoga Retreat: From Movement to Stillness
DESCRIPTION:The Himalayan Tradition is a meditative (dhyana) tradition. All the practices\, including asanas are practiced to prepare oneself for meditation. Hatha yoga is taught as an integrated practice\, which includes centering\, correct breathing\, breath-awareness\, stretching sequences\, joints & glands movements\, asanas\, subtle-body relaxations\, pranayamas\, and meditation. There is a focus on not only positioning the body correctly\, but also on experiencing what is happening within. Asanas are performed with reverence and gentleness in the mind\, moving from outside inwards. \nHatha Yoga\, as taught within the Himalayan Tradition is understood as “a continuum” involving all the eight limbs of Raja yoga\, especially Ahimsa.

SUMMARY:Art of Spiritual Learning
DESCRIPTION:The path of spiritual learning is a journey from the external to the internal. From information to knowldege and from knowledge to experience leading to realization. We find in Vedanta the 3 steps of learning; Śravaṇa (listening) is the first step in the process of learning. It involves active and focused listening to the teachings of a Guru. Manana (reflection/contemplation/clearing of doubts) is the second step and involves reflecting on what has been learned and clearing any doubts that may arise. Nididhyasana (meditation on the truth/integration/experience) is the final step and involves meditating on what has been learned and integrating it into one’s life. \nIn these special online study with Rabindra Sahu\, we will learn this ancient art of spiritual learning. \nAs our Master Swami Veda Bharati would often remind us that it is not possible to put a price on the teachings received\, there is no course fee for this course. Loving donations from the heart may be offered and will support the ashram. \nTeacher: Rabindra Sahu\nBegins: 22 July 2023 (Saturday)\nThe 6 sessions will be organized over three weekends (Saturday and Sunday) at 6-7 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) from 22 July – 6 Aug\, 2023.\nKindly convert to your country’s time-zone accordingly.\nMedium: Online through Zoom\nRequest: Kindly join only if you are able to commit to all the 6 sessions\, as the topics are progressive and systematic.\nLast Date for Registration: 21 July\, 2023 (Friday)\nFor Registrations/Inquiries/Donations: ahymsin@gmail.com

DESCRIPTION:The path of spiritual learning is a journey from the external to the internal. From information to knowldege and from knowledge to experience leading to realization. We find in Vedanta the 3 steps of learning; Śravaṇa (listening) is the first step in the process of learning. It involves active and focused listening to the teachings of a Guru. Manana (reflection/contemplation/clearing of doubts) is the second step and involves reflecting on what has been learned and clearing any doubts that may arise. Nididhyasana (meditation on the truth/integration/experience) is the final step and involves meditating on what has been learned and integrating it into one’s life. \nIn these special online study with Rabindra Sahu\, we will learn this ancient art of spiritual learning. \nAs our Master Swami Veda Bharati would often remind us that it is not possible to put a price on the teachings received\, there is no course fee for this course. Loving donations from the heart may be offered and will support the ashram. \nTeacher: Rabindra Sahu\nBegins: 22 July 2023 (Saturday)\nThe 6 sessions will be organized over three weekends (Saturday and Sunday) at 6-7 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) from 22 July – 6 Aug\, 2023.\nKindly convert to your country’s time-zone accordingly.\nMedium: Online through Zoom\nRequest: Kindly join only if you are able to commit to all the 6 sessions\, as the topics are progressive and systematic.\nLast Date for Registration: 21 July\, 2023 (Friday)\nFor Registrations/Inquiries/Donations: ahymsin@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Mahasamadhi Retreat
DESCRIPTION:On the sacred day of 14 July 2015\, our beloved Swami Veda Bharati left his physical body and entered Mahasamadhi. \n \n“We gather as a celebration on the anniversary of our beloved Swami Veda’s samadhi. Here\, we are not adoring the physical body which was placed in this space a few years ago; we are present to embrace the subtlety of his example\, the beauty of his teaching\, and faith in his mandate – ‘share with the world the pure form of meditation and only initiate into the same.’” – Swami Ritavan Bharati \nEvery year\, we celebrate our dear Swamiji’s Mahasamadhi Anniversary by gathering together at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) Ashram in Rishikesh\, India. This includes a 5-day long yajna with the Guru-Gayatri Mantra with 12 priests. \n\nअखण्डमण्डलाकारं व्याप्तं येन चराचरम्।\nतत्पदं दर्शितं येन तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः॥ \nakhaṇḍa-maṇḍalākāraṁ vyāptaṁ yena carācaram\,\ntat-padaṁ darśitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ.  \n(Which) pervades the entire unbroken form of the circle (of creation)\, moving and unmoving. To that beautiful and benevolent Guru through whom that state was revealed (to me)\, salutations. \nॐ तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात्॥ \nOm Bhur Bhuvah Svah\nTat savitur varenyam\nBhargo devasya dhimahi\nDhiyo yo nah prachodayat. \nOm. In Earth\, Sky and Heaven\, I do meditate on\, and sustain in myself\, the beautiful brilliance of God who shines in the splendor of the sun.

SUMMARY:Guru Purnima Retreat
DESCRIPTION:ॐ गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः।\nगुरुः साक्षात्परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः \nOm gurur brahmā gurur viṣṇur gurur devo maheśvaraḥ\,\nguruḥ sākṣāt paraṁ brahma tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ. \nOm. To that beautiful and benevolent Guru who is Brahmā\, the Creator\, Viṣṇu\, the Maintainer\, and Śiva\, the Great Lord through whom all things return to their origin. To that Guru who is the direct experience of Brahman\, salutations. \n“This day\, the day of Guru Purnima is considered to be the holiest day for the students of life; for those that have been treading the path of light; for those aspiring to attain enlightenment in this lifetime. They remember this day and celebrate it by becoming aware the purpose of life is to attain enlightenment; the state of mind\, internal state\, that makes one free from all pains and miseries.” – Swami Rama \nOn the sacred occasion of the Guru Purnima\, a 9-day celebration is held annually at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) Ashram in Rishikesh. This includes akhanda-patha (24-hour non-stop recitation) of the Guru-Gita\, the Song to the Guru\, preceding the Guru Purnima Day. The akhanda-patha of the Guru-Gita is offered both at the SRSG and the Sadhana Mandir Ashram by 11 Pandits each.  This special celebration is a reminder for us to pay our homage to the Guru Lineage that has bestowed upon us the great blessings of mantra\, meditation\, initiation and the teachings of the Himalayan Yoga Tradition. This way we also recommit ourselves to our practices. \nThis year\, the Guru Purnima is celebrated on 3 July\, 2023. The Guru Purnima Retreat will be organised at SRSG from 25 June – 3 July 2023.
