“May we weave the fabric of spirituality in our lives, and within our spiritual family – AHYMSIN.” - Swami Ritavan Bharati in the AHYMSIN Annual Report, 2016-17.

Swamiji requested,
“Please use these four points for discussions within each centre, at regional gatherings and with our next sangha gathering.

Maintaining wholistic and spiritual ideals in life.
Cultivating non-violent sentiments in their subtlety.
Respecting wisdom of elders and nurturing youth with maturing ideals.
Benevolent guidance and discipline in life and in teaching.”

Swami Ritavan invites all who were associated with Swami Veda to attend the SRSG July events, or contribute by way of sharing an audio or video less than 7 minutes for the second anniversary celebration. July 9th will be Guru Purnima, and July 14th will be the 2nd Anniversary of Swami Veda’s Mahasamadhi. There will be a Guru Purnima Retreat 30th June - 9th July and a Maha Samadhi Anniversary Retreat 8th - 16th July. Contact: ahymsin@ahymsin.org
