To teach and make available the knowledge of yoga meditation within the Tradition of the Himalayan Masters, as interpreted by Swami Rama of the Himalayas.
To study and practice the subtle aspects of yoga meditation as taught by the Himalayan Sages in an unbroken lineage since the Vedic period.
A loving invitation to sit in meditation for an hour, wherever you are, in your home or with friends.
The Himalayan Mountains have been the home of sages for millennia. These great sages have lived and passed on knowledge of the yogic teachings to disciples who then became masters passing on the teachings in an unbroken lineage since the Vedic period. Twelve hundred years ago Shankaracharya organized his teaching into five centers of the Himalayan Tradition. As one of those five, our tradition is the Bharati lineage.

Built like a beautiful meditation hill village, Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) was established by Swami Veda Bharati in 2002. Sadhaka means “spiritual seeker” and Grama means “village” in the sanskrit language – thus we are “A village of spiritual seekers devoted to the teachings of Swami Rama of the Himalayas.” Sadhakas from all spiritual traditions and from all walks of life are welcome at SRSG for learning yoga meditation. Every sadhaka arriving at the ashram receives personal instructions and the program is tailored according to the length of time one chooses to stay. You may come anytime during the year; come alone or with family and friends.

Using Disturbance to Strengthen Your Meditation
This time, I arrive with a different awareness. My time at Gurukulam quietly prepared me for this moment, though I did not fully realize how ready I was to receive the Guru’s teachings more deeply. The steady cultivation of discipline through mind-body awareness, integrated into each day’s schedule, has kept me grounded and centered. The wisdom, ever flowing through devoted teachers, has not only strengthened my faith but gently reassured me that I am exactly where I am meant to be.
This article is a transcript of Swami Ritavan Bharati's talk on 6 March 2026 during the AHYMSIN Sangha Gathering.
The March 2026 Sangha gathering was once again such a heart and soul nourishing experience. I met so many familiar spiritual friends and family from around the world and made some new beautiful connections. Being at the ashram with the sangha always feels like coming home. It is truly a home away from home I feel loved, nourished, and cared for throughout my stay. The ambiance at the Ashram, with the spring season and so many gorgeous flowers in bloom with the Himalayan ranges in the background, adds to the magic.
Following are some reflections from few participants in the AHYMSIN Sangha Gathering
On March 4, 2026, an election of the AHYMSIN Executive Committee and Office Bearers was held at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG). The elected/appointed members of the full Executive Committee and Office Bearers for 2026 – 2029 are:
Our Gurudeva, Swami Rama, has said that “For a genuine and everlasting transformation, one must practice a systematic method of self-discipline and self-training. Mere philosophy and intellectual knowledge cannot stand in time of need, if one does not know how to use the essentials of that philosophy in one’s daily life. Applying theoretical knowledge and living with it in daily life is called practice.” The Himalayan tradition of dhyana-yoga does not merely provide the technique for meditation but teaches the methods whereby one’s meditation practice may be applied to cultivate, enhance, beautify one’s personality, leading to very practical benefits in personal, interpersonal and work life.
