7 Days of Silence

Thursday, 14 January 2010 - Jim Waeffler

7 DAYS OF SILENCE: OCTOBER 16 – OCTOBER 22 2009

In the spring of 2009 I traveled to Rishikesh, India, with friends. As part of our stay at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram we undertook a two-day silence practice. It was a satisfying experience and left me wanting more. So, in the fall of 2009, I returned to the ashram alone to undertake a longer practice. This is a recounting of that second silence experience, based on journal entries I made at the time.

******************

Most people think that when they are doing Yoga postures they are doing Yoga or Hatha Yoga. Yoga postures have incredible health benefits as has been demonstrated by BKS Iyengar and the Bihar School of Yoga in India, but the fact remains that they are only a very small part of the true science of Yoga. Yoga and Hatha Yoga are much more than a posture and a breathing technique. So what is Yoga? Yoga is a science of self realization.

The subject of this article is to gain a basic understanding of some of the health principles found in Yoga and Ayurveda, the science of life, that can help people with multiple sclerosis make healthy lifestyle changes. Also, it includes taking into consideration some useful guidelines prior to starting to work with people with multiple sclerosis.

An Unsung Heroine, Diane Stevens

Sunday, 11 July 2010 - Swami Veda Bharati

This message was written with love from Swami Veda Bharati, from La Verna, Italy (where St. Francis of Assisi received the stigmata ) where we (svb, Swami Ritavan and Swami Nityamuktananda) were holding our annual European retreat (with 170 participants from 6 countries of Europe June 27-30).

Then I went off to Budapest where Swami Ritavan, Dr. Stoma Parker and Ashutosh worked hard also, with our annual Yoga-sutras class ( have reached sutra 2.27, with 250 students). Now waiting to catch a flight to Toronto from London.

June 30 2010.

*** *** ***

There are many in the Guru family who carry on the teachings under greatly adverse circumstances. These are our unsung heroes and heroines, silent, selfless, and examples for all others who teach or aspire to teach, or who just wish to be good disciples.

Four Poems

Wednesday, 21 April 2010 - Elizabeth Procter

Guided

Guided by my Guru

A Pilgrimage to take

Rugged hills and bustling towns

No impression make

In silence I sit wrapped in shawl

To hand out bananas

Our driver taking one

Here a boarder guard

With expression bland as he looks within

Driver not perturbed - both babble in a foreign tongue

Serene I sit with heart pounding

I hope he doesn’t ask for passport

As driver hands him a banana in exchange for a pass

The guard once more looks within. Our eyes meet.

In silence lowering eye lids I nod my head

Mala playing in my hand

Let through. At last, he gives a nod.

Such a tale to tell,

Our driver happily laughs.

Revealing all

I told the boarder guard the banana was Prasad

Prasad from Mata Gee

Silence broken

A bubble of laughter left my lips

Spirit lifted mala flowing

Light added to our journey’s flow.
