“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 Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama December 22-31, 2015: Third 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:
