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:Yoga Nidra Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Yoga Nidra is a state of conscious sleep in which one is in deep sleep and yet remains fully conscious. The yogis use this technique for both sleep and meditation. The quality of rest one receives through this method is entirely different from that which is derived through ordinary sleep. \n“For decades we have guided the shavasana practices and yoga nidra in sessions where the teacher does the ‘recital’ and others listen and follow. But we have not TAUGHT the procedures.” — Swami Veda Bharati \nGuided practices done in shavasana will be taught in proper sequence\, leading to different stages of Yoga Nidra\, so students can better absorb and assimilate the effects and awareness which the posture and practices have generated. \nUnder the guidance of senior teachers\, some of whom have been practicing for over 30-50 years\, this in-person retreat offers a revitalizing practice that gives total rest to the mind\, brain\, nervous system\, senses\, and body. Yoga nidra supports and strengthens the meditational technique and can be applied to learning subtleties of life. \nTo learn more about Yoga Nidra:\n\nFour States of Yoga Nidra by Swami Veda Bharati\nDefining Yoga-Nidra: Traditional Accounts\, Physiological Research\, and Future Directions by Swami Veda Bharati\, Dr. Stephen Parker (Stoma) and Dr. Manuel Fernandez.\nYoga Nidra Refined Silence by Swami Veda Bharati\nMastering Yoga Nidra by Swami Veda Bharati\nYoga Nidra\, Part 1 (video) with Swami Veda Bharati\nYoga Nidra\, Part 2 (video) with Swami Veda Bharati\nYoga Nidra (video) with Swami Veda Bharati\nMy Experiments with Yoga Nidra: Inward Perceptions by Swami Veda Bharati\nA Brief Form of Yoga Nidra by Swami Veda Bharati\nDear Yoga Mentor\, My Question Is… “difference between yoga nidra and meditation” by Swami Ritavan Bharati\nA Successful Yoga Nidra Retreat by Dr. Stephen Parker (Stoma)\nUse of Yoga Nidra for Creativity and for Enhancing Intuitive Faculty by Swami Nityamuktananda Saraswati\nAfter 3 Years of Yoga Nidra by Riccardo Valdettaro\nAfter Years of Yoga Nidra I Am Moved from the Inside\nConquering Sleep: The Practice of Yoga Nidra by Randall Krause (Mokshadeva)\n\nRecommended study materials:\n\nPath of Fire and Light\, Volume 2 by Swami Rama\nEnlightenment without God by Swami Rama\nOm the Eternal Witness: Secrets of the Mandukya Upanishad by Swami Rama\nExercise without Movement as taught by Swami Rama\, Vol. 1\, by Swami Rama\nMandukya Upanishad (Video Series) by Swami Rama: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqWXsj2xZg4&list=PLEF1719C37C7BA62E\nProving the Power of Meditation\, Swami Rama in Probe magazine\, 1973: http://www.swamiramasociety.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/swamiramaprobe1973.pdf\n1973 Britannica Yearbook of Science and the Future\, Excerpted from “The Psychic Boom” by Samuel Moffat http://www.swamij.com/pdf/swami-rama-britannica-1973.pdf\nExercise without Movement audio with Swami Ritavan Bharati\nMy Experiments With Yoga Nidra\, by Swami Veda Bharati\n\nThere are also three audios below.

SUMMARY:Intensive Study of Tattva Bodha
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Tattva Bodha: The Awakening to Truth\n \nWho am I? What is the nature of this world? \nThis lucid text by Adi Shankarachayra answers many such questions. Tattva Bodha is presented in the form of a dialouge between the Guru and the disciple that expounds the core concepts of Vedanta\, thus preparing the seeker for advanced studies of the Bhagavad Gita\, Upanishads and Brahma Sutras. \nIn an intensive study/satsang with Rabindra Sahu spanning over a week\, we would contemplate upon each verse to understand and imbibe its meaning. \nPrerequisites: All those who wish to learn about the fundamental principles of Vedanta are lovingly welcome. \nFor registrations and more information: ahymsin@ahymsin.org

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:Maunam – Guided Silence Retreat
DESCRIPTION:As our beloved Swami Veda Bharati has said\, “The most profound teachings of the Tradition are in silence. The greatest growth of the human mind takes place in silence.” \n\nCome experience deeper levels of your inner self through the practice of silence. This six-day retreat\, away from the business of daily life\, will help you calm down the constant flow of random thoughts and emotions and rejuvenate yourself on all levels. This retreat includes two days of foundations and preparations to silence\, three days of silence practice and introspection\, as well as one day of sharing and assimilation. \n“Silence is such a profound and deep experience of human existence that only when we have understood silence would we understand all the inspiration that has ever flowed to humanity from the minds and mouths of its great saints and sages.” \n– Swami Veda Bharati

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: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.

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:Contemplations on “The Mystical Poems of Kabir”
DESCRIPTION:“Kabir was a great Indian sage\, seer and poet.” \n“The philosophy presented in his works is identical to that of the Upanishads—there exists a nameless\, formless\, absolute Reality\, One without a second.” \n“In his ability to draw value from diverse sources\, Kabir was actually like a bee who tapped the nectar from many different flowers and converted it into honey. Kabir’s philosophy and poetry inseparably weave together the threads of knowledge and ecstasy. For Kabir\, the goal is sahaja samadhi\, a state of mind attained through spontaneous ecstasy.” – Swami Rama\, The Mystical Poems of Kabir. \n\nWe will be reading a few excerpts from Swami Rama’s book – The Mystical Poems of Kabir and contemplate on the teachings with Rabindra Sahu. \nRecommended Reading: The Mystical Poems of Kabir by Swami Rama \nDonation: Loving donations towards the course would go a long way in supporting the Ashram in its continued teachings\, especially during the pandemic\, when the ashram has been closed. \nDates: The six sessions will be organized over three weekends (Saturday and Sunday) at 6:00-7:00 IST (Indian Standard Time) from 27 Nov – 12 Dec 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: 26 Nov\, 2021 (Friday) \n
