Wish List

International Yoga Youth and Children's Retreat

“So that the Grace and the practices and the teachings of meditation in our lineage may continue into next generations and meditation may become a family-centred experience.”

As you may already know, Swami Veda Bharati has called all of the children in our Himalayan Yoga Tradition together for another big gathering at SRSG (December 22-31, 2014): The second International Yoga Youth and Children’s Retreat. During this retreat we will welcome children from all over the world.

Our children truly are precious gifts of today and the future. Nothing is too much for our children; therefore we would like to offer them the best during this retreat. Please help us to realize this aspiration. In addition to your selfless seva, donations are most welcome for the following:

• Children from Bhagaban Dev’s traditional gurukulam in Orissa.
• Children from KHEL’s Lakshmi Devi Academy in Dehradun.
• Other deserving children.
