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: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: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.

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

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: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.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:What is Yoga? International Yoga Day (IYD) 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 (IYD)\, let us try to understand what truly and traditionally yoga is\, beyond the asanas\, as it is now popularly understood.

SUMMARY:Sacred Journey
DESCRIPTION: \n\nInnately all human beings know that life has a higher purpose\, even though they may argue and create philosophies that maintain that life is aimless or an accidental phenomenon in an infinite universe\, and thereby nourish and strengthen an inner emptiness and discontentment. \nWe tend to project that unhelpful and unhealthy interior state into our daily lives and begin to try to fulfil that sentiment of absence looking for completion from the objects and comforts of the world – mostly through our relations and possessions – or even in all kinds of vices\, which eventually leads us to even more misery and sorrow. But the paradox is that\, despite all of it\, we remain attached to the transitory little pleasures. Without realizing what could give us eternal happiness\, we keep on going gathering things and renewing relations\, and thereby intensifying our bondage and attachment to them. This dependency on the worldly objects for pleasure leads to a very deep-rooted fear of death – the fear of losing all these material things. \n“In one way or another everyone strives for happiness\, calmness\, and peace of heart and mind.” \nThe Ancient Sages\, through the transmission of the perennial wisdom revealed to them\, especially in the Upanishads\, have showed us that the way to dispel the darkness of confusion and ignorance from our mind is by learning how to think properly in order to discriminate between what is the Absolute Reality and what is Its temporal manifestation\, which is subjected to change\, death and decay. \nSwami Rama also stated in the Introduction of the book on same title:\n“To understand death\, a person must try to understand the purpose of life and the relationship between life and death. The two are partners\, each providing a context for the other. Death is not a period\, but merely a pause on a long journey. When life and death are accepted as having real meaning and purpose\, and death is understood and accepted as part of the human journey\, then the fear of death disappears\, and life can be lived fully.”  \nBy thinking properly and correcting our understanding we can live a life purposefully and experience the transition period gracefully. In this residential retreat with Rabindra Sahu\, we will make an attempt to understand the purpose of our life\, and how to move forward towards our purpose in life.

SUMMARY:Contemplations on Hastamalaka Stotram
DESCRIPTION:When Sri Adi Sankaracharya enquires from a boy: ‘Who are you\, my child?’ The response of the boy came to be revered as ‘Hastamalaka-stotram’. Composed by Hastāmalaka Acharya\, a disciple of Adi Sankaracharya\, the Hastāmalaka Stotraṁ is a short Vedāntic text of twelve verses that succinctly reveal the Knowledge of the Self. The greatness of this composition can be gauged by the fact that Sri Adi Sankaracharya himself wrote a commentary on it. It is extraordinary that the master of masters would compose commentary upon the work of his young student. This indicates\, not only the greatness of Hastamalaka’s verses\, but also the magnanimity of the Guru\, Adi Sankaracharya. \nSince\, to this young boy the knowledge of Atma-vidya was as clear as ‘a gooseberry’ (amalaka) kept on one’s palm (hasta)\, Acharya Sankara named him ‘Hastamalaka’\, and he became famous as one of the four renowned disciples of the Acharya. Hastamalaka Stotram is a contemplative text\, born of direct experience and is therefore profound in content and is truly a text for deep reflection and meditation. \nIn these special online study with Rabindra Sahu\, we will contemplate upon this beautiful and rich text of Vedanta\, and try to learn ways of applying this knowledge in our daily life. \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 during the pandemic. \nTeacher: Rabindra Sahu\nBegins: 6 May 2023 (Saturday)\nThe 8 sessions will be organized over four weekends (Saturday and Sunday) at 6-7 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) from 6 – 28 May\, 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 8 sessions\, as the topics are progressive and systematic.\nLast Date for Registration: 5 May\, 2023 (Friday)\nFor Registrations/Inquiries/Donations: ahymsin@gmail.com
