(Article 3 below) Each summer during the 40 days that precede Guru Purnima, we are invited to participate in the 40 Day Spiritual Festival, to expand and refine our sadhana. In 2016, the 40-Day Festival will take place 10th June - 19th July, which is Guru Purnima. These 40 days are celebrated wherever you are. For more information, please see article #3 below "40 Day Spiritual Festival" in this newsletter.
You and your family are invited to participate in the International Yoga Youth & Children's Retreat which will be held 22 – 31 December 2016 at SRSG. We have been blessed with the loving guidance of Swami Veda Bharati, disciple of Swami Rama, and that guidance continues through Swami Ritavan Bharati. As Swami Veda has said, “We have all been blessed so greatly, and there is much happiness in feeling this blessing flowing to the young ones amongst us." This retreat is to bring children and families together from all over the world and experience yoga as a global family. Children will participate in sessions on hatha yoga, pranayama and meditation as well as in various art workshops, dance & music, and karma yoga (selfless service). There are also classes designed for parents, such as the parents' workshops on spiritual parenting. The fun-loving and peaceful environment of the ashram, which is in Rishikesh, India, provides you with a comfortable stay during the retreat by way of fully furnished cottages with hot showers and vegetarian meals served in a dining hall. Your participation is greatly welcomed.
