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.

Honoring Swami Veda

W/ Whispering to us in silent meditation 

A/ Always nourishing our earthly live

M/ Mentoring us onward to our goal

I/ Infinite infinity


V/ Victorious in his journey

E/ Everlasting merits won

D/ Divine graces always flowing

A/ Anointing us through him/    

Amen, Alleluia, Amen.

An Unsung Heroine, Diane Stevens

PDF Print E-mail
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.

WHAT IS A BHANDARA?


People of all ancient cultures have the concept of ‘food as a worship offering’. It is one of the commonest expressions of ‘sacredness’ in India. It is known by different names in different parts of the country. It comes under the category of punya-arjana, ‘earning good karma’. In a country like Thailand where thousands of monks may be fed, the English translation for this category of acts is ‘merit-making’. Not merry-making but ‘merit-making’.
