SUMMARY:84-Days Intensive Sadhana Retreat
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to share with you an invitation to an 84-days Intensive Sadhana Retreat within the Himalayan Tradition at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, Rishikesh. The retreat offers an intensive and in-depth immersion into the practices of yoga meditation as taught within the unbroken lineage of the Himalayan Sages. The program will begin on the sacred day of the Guru Purnima (10 July 2025). \nThis program offers a unique opportunity for those practitioners who have been learning yoga meditation for some time and are now seeking to deepen their sadhana (spiritual practices) at the ashram. Therefore\, those students within the Himalayan Tradition who may not be able to commit to our longer programs like the one-year Swami Rama Dhyana Gurukulam\, but would like to immerse themselves in the ashram’s silent and meditative environment for a longer duration\, may join this program. \nOver the course of 84 days\, one will have the chance to build a strong foundation for a lasting spiritual transformation\, to develop a personal philosophy of life\, and to renew your sankalpa—spiritual resolve. This program encompasses the teachings and practices of – \n\n\n\nHatha-Yoga – Philosophy\, Science and Practice of Hatha Yoga\, Pranayama\, and Systematic Relaxation.\nYoga-sutras – Selected sections from the Yoga-sutras focusing on ‘making the mind a pleasant field’.\nBhakti – Experience the joy of devotion through daily Havana (fire offerings)\, chantings\, kirtan\, personal japa\, selfless meditation\, and dedicated hours of seva (selfless service).\nTantra and Mantra science – Worshipping the Divine Mother through the recitation of Shri Lalita Sahasranama. Deepening our understanding of Mantra science and practice of one’s own personal initiation mantra through Purash-charana.\nAdvaita Vedanta – We will study the foundational and classical text—Tattva-bodha—by Adi Sankaracharya that expounds the core concepts of Vedanta\, thus preparing the seeker for advanced studies of the Bhagavad-gita\, Upanishads and Brahma-sutras.\n\n\n\nThe art of spiritual learning through the three steps of sravana (listening)\, manana (reflection/contemplation/clearing of doubts) and nididhyasana (meditation on the truth/integration/experience) will be adopted in all classes. Therefore\, the focus of the program shall be on turning inwards\, from information to knowledge and from knowledge to experience\, and from experience to self-realisation. \nThis is a rare opportunity to be nurtured in the womb of the Himalayan Tradition within the sacred space of the ashram. Seekers of all backgrounds and ages\, from all over the world are warmly invited to join us on this sacred journey of self-discovery. \nHere is some information about the Retreat. \nBeginning Date: 10 July 2025 (Guru Purnima Day) \nLast Date for Application: 30 June 2025 \nDuration: 84 days \nMedium of Instruction: English \nEligibility: All seekers\, irrespective of religion\, gender\, caste\, age\, nationality\, etc. who can lovingly commit to an intensive\n84-days stay at the SRSG ashram in Rishikesh\, India. \nFor more information: Kindly email it to us at ahymsin@gmail.com

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.
