One of the participants, Mark Tamas created an amazing slideshow of beautiful pictures of the June seminar conducted in Budapest by Swami Veda and our Senior Teachers. He wrote:
"Taking pictures while Swami Veda was giving blessings to the children was the biggest challenge and gift for me on this weekend. I did not know that this is going to happen, suddenly I just realized what is happening and by intuition I just grabbed my machine. The auditorium, which was full of people just a couple of minutes ago, was in complete silence. All the children were sitting in silence while Swami Veda finished his meditation. I just stood there and I really did not know what to do. How can I take pictures? The moment was so sacred that I even did not want to make a move. Than I realized that I'm so lucky that I can see the pure act of unconditional love with my camera in my hand. Should I miss it? I made a decision and I got a wonderful gift.

Looking through the camera, I could see a lot of details. The touch of love, the words of love, the blessings of love. The endless love Swami Veda was giving touched my heart so deep that I have no right words to describe it, but my falling tears needed no words. Just silence."
June 26-28, 2009 Swami Veda Bharati, Swami Ritavan Bharati, Stoma, Maya and Ashutosh conducted a workshop on the Yoga Sutras "Sadhana Pada" in Budapest, Hungary. They were greeted with 285 participants in one of the most troubled economies in Europe. Certificates were awarded to the first group of graduates from the Hungarian 600 hour teacher training program. Among them were the first person to come to the ashram from Hungary and the local organizers of the TTP program, Joszef Papp and Anna Mezosi. On the 28th Swami Veda conducted a blessing of more than 25 children and more than 60 initiations were given.Please click on the following link to view:
