SUMMARY:Freedom from the Bondage of Karma
DESCRIPTION:Karma – the activity of doing and being – is traditionally symbolized as a rope of many strands made of actions\, thoughts\, desires\, and the latent\, subconscious tendencies of personality\, holding the human self in the bondage of suffering. \nSwami Rama’s book titled – “Freedom from the Bondage of Karma” offers a series of perspectives on man’s most significant responsibility—that of self-understanding. If we are to attempt to understand ourselves and the world through the possibilities available to us within Yoga and allied systems\, it becomes important for us to understand the full implications of karma as it appears within the yoga system. Analyzing the mechanisms of karma and the functioning of mind\, Swamiji demonstrates the kind of self-study each student of life must undertake to gain liberation and attain freedom from the bondage of karma. \nIn this residential retreat with Rabindra Sahu\, we will learn how karma has been understood in the Bhagavad Gita; what its effects are and how it functions\, including in terms of the human mind; and how it is related to our spiritual practice and our modern-day life. We will thus explore the ways that we can take control of our own destiny by making conscious efforts in choosing our actions\, thoughts and desires.

DESCRIPTION:Himalayan Yoga Meditation Online Workshop\nYoga Is Skillfulness in Action ~ “Yogah karmasu kaushalam”\nwith Rabindra Sahu\nWhen we think of yoga practice\, we generally talk about practicing postures\, breathing exercises\, etc. However\, the ancient teachings of yoga also greatly cover the practical applications of yoga in our day-to-day activities. \nOne of the definitions of yoga in the Bhagavad Gita is “Yogah karmasu kaushalam” – “Yoga is skillfulness in action”. The Bhagavad Gita teaches us how we should engage in actions in a manner that can facilitate our ultimate good\, while interacting in this world. \nIn this workshop\, we will learn to evaluate the effect of our actions in our life\, and assess whether they lead us toward bondage or liberation. \n\n———\nDate: February 5\, 12\, and 19\, 2022\nDay: Saturdays\nTime: 3:00-4:30 PM Japan Standard Time (JST) *Please adjust to your time zone.\nFee: 48 USD\nLanguage: English (with translation in Japanese by Yuko Metsugi)\n——— \nAbout the Teacher:\nRabindra Sahu is a teacher in the Himalayan Yoga Tradition\, based at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) ashram\, Rishikesh.

SUMMARY:An exploration into Sankhya Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:Sankhya philosophy\, founded by Rishi Kapila\, is the oldest system known in the history of Indian philosophy. Its basic principles serve as foundations for all other Indian philosophical systems in one way or another\, and therefore\, understanding of its basic principles is required to access the subtleties of all other philosophical systems\, including Yoga. \n\nThroughout his teachings\, Swami Veda Bharati emphasised that it is not possible to understand Patañjali’s Yoga Sutra unless one has a clear knowledge of the basic principles of the Sankhya Philosophy. In the philosophical traditions of India\, Sankhya and Yoga form a philosophical pair\, Sankhya being the darśana śāstra (Philosophical framework) and Yoga the prayoga śāstra (its practical application). \nThis week-long seminar with Pandit Priyadarshan (Pierre Lefebvre) will help the students to establish a good functional knowledge of the important categories and principles of classical Sankhya. The study will be focused around the original text of Sankhya philosophy\, the Tattva Samasa Sutra\, written by Rishi Kapila himself. \nWe will also explore how the application of the principles and categories of Sankhya philosophy find their way and translate in the Yoga Sutra of Patañjali\, as well as in other systems of traditional Indian knowledge.

SUMMARY:Peace Mantras from the Vedas
DESCRIPTION:Shanti Mantras\, or the Peace Mantras\, are the mantras used as invocations at the beginning and end of the recitations of the Upanishads and other ancient Indian scriptures. These mantras are also used as special prayers for ‘peace’ during everyday pujas and rituals. Some of these mantras also are recited within the Himalayan Tradition and the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) ashram as part of our daily morning and evening prayers. \n\nThis short weekend workshop with Pandit Priyadarshan (Pierre Lefebvre) will offer the students an introduction into this unique category of mantras found in the vast body of Vedic literature. We will learn about the importance of these mantras and their spiritual meanings.

SUMMARY:Peace Mantras from the Vedas
DESCRIPTION:Shanti Mantras\, or the Peace Mantras\, are the mantras used as invocations at the beginning and end of the recitations of the Upanishads and other ancient Indian scriptures. These mantras are also used as special prayers for ‘peace’ during everyday pujas and rituals. Some of these mantras also are recited within the Himalayan Tradition and the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) ashram as part of our daily morning and evening prayers. \n\nThis short weekend workshop with Pandit Priyadarshan (Pierre Lefebvre) will offer the students an introduction into this unique category of mantras found in the vast body of Vedic literature. We will learn about the importance of these mantras and their spiritual meanings.

SUMMARY:Contemplations on “The Mystical Poems of Kabir”

SUMMARY:Bhagavad Gita: Karma Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Swami Rama has explained that “No one can live without performing actions. When you perform actions\, therein you reap the fruits of your actions. “As you sow\, so shall you reap.” Nobody can escape from this law. When you reap the fruits of actions\, those actions inspire you to perform more actions. Seemingly\, there is no end. This creates a sense of helplessness. You cannot live without doing your duty\, but when you do your duty\, you find yourself caught in a whirlpool. You are not happy because duty makes you a slave.” \nThe Bhagavad Gita teaches us how we should engage in actions in a manner that can facilitate our ultimate good\, while interacting in this world. We can thus learn to evaluate the effect of our actions on our life\, and assess whether they lead us towards bondage or liberation. \n \nThe human life is a beautiful and delicate combination of right knowledge and right action. It will be a blind life\, if there is only Karma and no Jnana (knowledge) to guide our actions in life. All efforts turn blind without good judgment\, and intelligence is nonproductive without sincere effort. \nWe must have buddhi (discriminative faculty) as well as karma in our life. If we were to only think deeply and not do anything\, the buddhi would be wasted. If we were to go on working and give no thought to things\, the karmas would be destroyed. Life progresses in the right direction with a combination of both karma and buddhi. \nSwami Rama has further said\, “The first thing you should learn is how to perform your actions\, yet remain unaffected. Your duty should not give you stress and strain. It should not make you a slave. \nIt is possible to live perfectly on earth if one is able to work and to love—to work for what one loves\, and to love what one is working at. \nGet up\, my friends\, arise: attain knowledge\, and dedicate your life to the service of your fellow beings.” \nDonations: Loving donations from the heart may be offered and will support the ashram during the pandemic. Kindly contact us at ahymsin@ahymsin.org for more information. \nTeacher: Rabindra Sahu \nDates: The six sessions will be organized over three weekends (Saturday and Sunday) at 6:00-7:00 IST (Indian Standard Time) from 9 – 24 October 2021.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Pancha Koshas
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Pancha Koshas (The Five Coverings on the Self)\nPancha Kosha is a Sanskrit term made up of two words – Pancha and Kosha. Pancha means ‘’five’’\, and Kosha means ‘’sheath’’ or ‘’layer’’. \nThe concept of Pancha kosha originated from Taittiriya Upanishad. The classical Upanishads were concerned with addressing the nature of the self and one’s relationship to the universe\, and Pancha kosha is thought to be one of the earliest conceptualizations of the human self. \n \nThe Pancha kosha philosophy helps one to understand “Who am I”?. With this knowledge\, one can transcend the grosser layers of one’s being\, tuning into the subtle aspects\, and ultimately gaining knowledge of the true self. As one works through the five sheaths\, eventually one stops identifying oneself with these layers\, be the body\, mind\, or intellect\, and one begins to recognize that the true and real self is beyond these five layers. \nThus\, understanding the coverings/layers of one’s being is key to obtaining peace and joy in life. Now\, let’s learn more about the ‘Pancha Koshas’ with Rabindra Sahu. \nDonations: Loving donations from the heart may be offered and will support the ashram during the pandemic. Kindly contact us at ahymsin@ahymsin.org for more information. \nTeacher: Rabindra Sahu \nDates: The seven sessions will be organized over four weekends (Saturday and Sunday) at 6:00-7:00 IST (Indian Standard Time) from 7-28 August 2021. Kindly convert to your country’s time-zone accordingly. \nMedium: Online through Zoom \nLanguage: English \nRequest: Kindly join only if you are able to commit to all 7 sessions\, as the topics are progressive and systematic. \nLast Date for Registration: 6 August\, 2021 (Friday) \nFor Registrations/Enquiries/Donations: ahymsin@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Śhiva Saṅkalpa Sūkta
DESCRIPTION:Śhiva Saṅkalpa Sūkta – a prayer for mind’s purification\, mind’s pacification\nShiva Sankalpa Sukta is a powerful six-verse hymn from the Shukla Yajurveda that leads the mind “to dwell on the auspicious will of the Divine”.\n  \nThe Shiva Sankalpa Sukta is part of the daily evening prayers at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama.

SUMMARY:The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Programme description:\nSwami Veda Bharati has been one of the highest level world class exponents of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in the late 20th and early 21st centuries This seminar will continue Swamiji’s tradition and legacy of interpreting from the point of view of a practitioner this most unique text which codified and systematized yoga philosophy. With several segments of this seminar held in the next few years in the month of February\, the emphasis of this first seminar will be the overview of the text\, including its different chapters\, sections and topics\, as well as the foundational principles of Sankhya philosophy\, which are mandatory to master to get entry into the deeper meanings of the sutras. The first chapter\, Samadhi Pada\, will also be covered in detail along with the most important points from Sage Vyasa’s commentary. \nA special emphasis will be put on the language and the deeper layers of meanings from the Sanskrit verb roots\, prefixes and suffixes hidden in the terminology\, as Swami Veda often emphasised\, sharing the keys from the language with which we can help unlocking the real meaning of the text. \nFaculty:\nSwami Ritavan Bharati\, Dr. Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, Michael Kissener\, and others. \nPre-requisites:\nPrevious study of Swami Veda’s audio lectures on the Yoga Sutras and Sankhya Philosophy is recommended. Please contact Himalayan Yoga Publications Trust (HYPT) at info@yogappublications.org about purchasing these materials.

SUMMARY:Six-day Retreat: Superconscious Meditation – Level One
DESCRIPTION:Programme description:\nThis 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: “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.” \nFaculty:\nSRSG ashram resident faculty \nContact:\nahymsin@ahymsin.org
