During  those five years of silence, Swamiji will not be teaching verbally but he will be giving darshana. He has said that he will not travel during the first year of his silence.

Please consider this event very important, a last opportunity to get direct guidance and teachings from Swamiji before he takes to the vow of silence.

He added, “we’ll put aside three days for the administration and the organization of the Sangha and the discussion.” The rest of the time all  will keep silence. And he urges us,  “But prepare yourself now, start doing the practice now. Ok?”
If you have not started the 3 year practice given in February 2010, please visit: https://www.ahymsin.org/main/index.php/Initiates/2010-2013-practice.html
We encourage you to read “Because It Gives Me Satisfaction”:  https://www.ahymsin.org/docs2/News/0510/04.html and other writings by Swamiji on this website.
What is AHYMSIN?  Swamiji earlier clarified, “AHYMSIN is a group of initiates for support. How can groups or individuals help the greater family in a spiritual sense? This evolves from time to time if we can succeed in developing a sentiment of  Sangha.”
