SUMMARY:What is Yoga? International Yoga Day Retreat
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. \n  \nAs our beloved Swami Veda Bharati has said\, \n“What is this yoga? What is it? What are the signs of one practicing yoga? \nOn the very first sutra of the Yoga-sutras of Patanjali\, Vyasa\, the first and foremost sage commentator\, defines: \nYogah samadhih\nYoga [means] samadhi. \n‘Yogah samadhih’ is also in the logo of our organization AHYMSIN – the Association of Himalayan Yoga Meditation Societies International – with headquarters at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama in Rishikesh. \nThe most authentic ancient text of yoga speaks of it in these terms. \nThe most authentic ancient text of Ayurveda\, Charaka-samhita\, states: \nYogo moksha-pravartakah\nYoga is that which impels and grants spiritual liberation (moksha) \nSharira-sthana 1.137” \nThis International Yoga Day let us try to understand what truly and traditionally yoga is\, beyond the asanas\, as it is now popularly understood.

SUMMARY:You and Your emotions
DESCRIPTION:This retreat is based on Swami Veda Bharati’s profound teachings contained in his book of the same title. We will learn to understand our own mind and thereby to learn how to live life by effectively managing and refining emotions to obtain true freedom. \nSwami Veda Bharati has said\, “You not only learn to analyse your own emotion\, but also learn to analyse the other person’s emotion: where is it coming from\, what are its components\, what has led to this\, what are the loads behind it? And once you understand the loads behind it\, you will not react in the familiar way: anger with anger\, stone with stone\, eyes with eyes.”\nIn this retreat with Dr Divya Gupta and Dr Swati Saharan\, both psychologists by training\, we will approach the subject of our own mind and emotions from a practical perspective and learn to gently manage them better.

SUMMARY:Navaratri Retreat - Cultivating the Divine Feminine
DESCRIPTION:During the sacred days of Navaratri (the nine nights)\, we will have Devi-Puja with akhanda (24 hours non-stop) recitation of the Lalita-sahasra-nama (Thousand Names of Divine Mother). One may come and join the daily morning and evening pujas\, join the recitation of the Lalita-sahasra-nama. Twelve priests preside over the pujas and the recitations\, which are offered both at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama and Sadhana Mandir Ashram. \nOur beloved Swami Veda Bharati has said\, “These events are charged with special spiritual energy and a very special time to renew your silence and sadhana.” \nIn this special retreat with Rabindra Sahu\, we will be learning about the principles of the Divine Feminine within the Nature and the entire Universe around us. Swamiji has also reminded us “to bring the feminine kindness\, compassion\, motherliness among all of us. This has nothing to do with the gender of the person undertaking the observance but rather it is for the enhancement of the motherliness in all of us.” \nWe will thereby learn how can we cultivate these divine feminine qualities within ourselves. All the participants will also get an opportunity to practice recitation of the Lalita-sahasra-nama.

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.

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.

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: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.
