SUMMARY:Mantra and Meditation: An International Residential Retreat\, Camaldoli\, Italy
DESCRIPTION:“Mantra is a means\, meditation is a method…” \n“…mantra and meditation are inseparable just like two sides of the same coin.” – Swami Rama \nSwami Veda Bharati has repeatedly emphasised the importance of a solid and stable meditation foundation in order to allow our personal practice to progress towards subtler levels. \nDuring this retreat\, the expert guidance of Swami Ritavan Bharati will introduce us to the importance of the mantra in the meditative practice and will accompany us in refining\, fine tuning and deepening the use of the mantra\, to progress to more profound and subtler levels. \nThe retreat is recommended to both\, beginners and experienced practitioners\, and will be held from Thursday 22 to Sunday 25 May 2025\, at L’Oasi del Divin Maestro\, Camaldoli\, Italy. \n“The mantra is a powerpack contained within itself\, and\, like an atom\, is a whole vibrant universe”.

SUMMARY:Mantra and Purashcharana
DESCRIPTION:  \nSwami Veda Bharati has said in his writing on ‘Mantra What and Why’\, “Mantra is a word or a series of words; it is a thought; it is a prayer\, but not in the sense in which the word “prayer” is used ordinarily\, but rather a linkage of our lower consciousness with the higher consciousness\, which we call the Divine Consciousness\, or the Divine Life-Force. A mantra is a sound-unit\, a thought-unit. It is a sound or a series of sounds given to a Yoga student or disciple to remember constantly for a specific spiritual purpose.” \nThose who have been graced with an initiation into a personal guru mantra within the Himalayan Tradition are connected to the Guru Lineage through their personal mantra. When an intensive practice of japa (mantra remembrance) of one’s own personal mantra is undertaken\, this connection with the Guru Lineage is strengthened within. \nUnder the guidance of Swami Ritavan Bharati\, the participants will undertake a sankalpa (resolve) to begin the practice of purashcharana of one’s own personal mantra. A purashcharana is the practice of repeating a mantra 125\,000 times plus 10 per cent with fire offerings (or 20 per cent without fire offerings)\, sometimes in a certain period of time. One makes a resolution and then japa is done faithfully every day until the 125\,000 is completed. The practice may be undertaken along with personal silence. Each participant will receive personal guidance from Swami Ritavan Bharati or one of the available mantra initiators. \nEveryday during the 21-days retreat from 9 Feb – 1 Mar\, there will be dedicated times for personal fire offerings\, silent japa\, one-on-one guidance from Swami Ritavan Bharati and Raghavendra Adiga about one’s personal practices\, and theory classes on ‘Mantra and Purashcharana’ with Raghavendra Adiga and Rabindra Sahu. \nIn 2025\, Mahashivaratri will be on 26 February and there will be special activities and pujas around the sacred occasion. There will be a yajna (fire offerings) with the current AHYMSIN Sangha Mantra (ॐ गं गणपतये नमः । Om Gaṁ Gaṇapataye Namaḥ ।). Special announcements regarding AHYMSIN Sangha Mantra will also be made at the same time. \nApplications for participation are invited from those family members who have received Mantra Initiation within the Himalayan Tradition. When applying\, the participants are requested to share about the following – \n\n\n\nDate and place of your mantra initiation\, and the name of the initiator.\nPracticed a purashcharana before? If yes\, please share details.\nPracticed silence before? If yes\, please share details.\nAnything else you would like to share with Swami Ritavan about your personal practice.

SUMMARY:Entrance to the Subtle Body
DESCRIPTION:[Swami Ritavan completed a weeklong seminar on Intensive Meditation that was well received by those attending where he introduced the importance of rasana-buddhi. Through mindfulness and meditation\, the experience of any perception can be transformed through entry into the subtle body and experiencing the sacred in buddhi. This art of joyful living will be the subject of the upcoming 10-day Entrance to the Subtle Body seminar at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, Rishikesh from 25th February through 5th March.] \nThere is a word in the Sanskrit language. The word is RASA. The word\, rasa means a juice\, the flavor\, as the essence. Rasa means that essence as the experience. That which you taste\, not merely the object of taste but the object of taste\, the process of tasting\, and the experience of tasting. \nThe object of taste\, the process\, the interaction that occurs between the one who is tasting and that which is being tasted\, and the experience of taste itself. The sense and the experience of the juice. The sensation of the experience and the juice of what you are tasting all combine together – not as divided ideas but as a singularity that is called RASA. And\, when you know the art of tasting\, the art of experiencing the juice\, the flavor\, the subtlest possible essence\, then you know the art of life. \nWe have lost the art of enjoying life. In the ancient texts of the meditative tradition\, there are some passages; and in the Bhagavad Gita 4:24\, the verse Brahmar Panam… That (Brahman – God) is rasa. Brahman is the flavor\, Brahman is the essence of everything. All pleasure that flows from Brahman\, and Brahman alone remains. When any pleasure becomes an experience of Unified Consciousness- a Divine presence\, then you are experiencing\, you are enjoying\, RASA. The yogi lives in the mental field of that RASA\, that essence\, that ecstasy\, that flavor\, that juice of universal existence — becomes so blissful. When you are enjoying your food\, when you go to its subtle-most essence\, you are then enjoying that omnipresent God which being omnipresent is also in the food. \nPeople try to derive pleasure by paying attention to the object of enjoyment. The term RASA implies that you concentrate on the experience itself\, not only on the object.\nThere are two sources of pleasure. \n\nOne source is restraint so that you engage slowly with awareness from moment to moment.\nThe other source of pleasure is concentration itself\, absorption of the experiencer\, the object of the experience\, and the process of experiencing.\n\nMoment to moment concentrate on the smallest\, the littlest taste bud that has been touched. The RASA is the essence\, revealing the universal principle\, Brahman – God\, the ever-present omniscient consciousness. \nThen you have understood how to enjoy in the totality principle and this is the art of enjoying. \nA yogi\, whose awareness rests in atma-artha operates from the rasana-buddhi and is called a RASIKA — the enjoyer. It is a term used in the ancient literature as the enjoyer. The yogi’s game is the whole universe. He plays with universal consciousness as a game called reality. He can change water into wine\, or feed a multitude out of five loaves. What a game\, what a play\, what ecstasies he enjoys and experiences. \nThe entire essence of the experience of body and mind is hidden in the subtlest faculty of buddhi. When the sattvic buddhi is filled with light\, the rasa – enjoyment of this sublime illumination\, becomes the flavorful juice(amrita) that assimilates into the entire personality. This nectar of immortality-rasa drop by drop is introduced throughout the body and mind as the experience of aliveness. The essence of our entire sense experience becomes a light\, drop-by-drop\, sent forth through every possible cell of the body. Then one enjoys not only the objects of senses but that faculty of mind from which enjoyment proceeds. His joy is not in the sensual pleasure of the physical act. Only the novice is aware of that enjoyment in a physical object. He is the master who enjoys the very principle that enjoys. That principle is rasana-buddhi\, and that rasana-buddhi is the reflective mirror of the Atmartha\, where Atman remains Brahman as pure Consciousness. \nIt is with that experience within the buddhi that the modification or alternations may occur through the practice of mindfulness and meditation. By imbuing any particular experience with something more pleasant\, virtuous\, sacred that the experience changes. Rightly or wrongly\, by whatever samskaras and associations the experience changes. When you put the spiritual\, the atmartha into that same normal ordinary meaningless experience\, which caused attractions and aversions\, the experience is transformed and now becomes a holy act. \nTo apply this principle in your life\, there are two steps in your introspection\, in your spiritual observation\, examination\, and analysis. \nFirst ask yourself: “Does this emotion lead me to the sublime? Examine the feeling. and if not\, then discard it for it is not worth pursuing. Next\, ask yourself\, does my present emotion lead others to the sublime? \nThese two questions are the basis of your examination and analysis: does it lead me to the sublime\, and does this state of mind emanating from me lead others to the sublime? If not\, discard it\, It is not worth pursuing. When you have cultivated a sublime emotion within you\, that sublime emotion becomes so filling\, makes you so full that it overflows\, you become so full\, that you overflow with that- sublime emotion and carry everyone along who is near you into the flood of that emotion. Cultivating such a sublime emotion is an art; then you learn to learn this art of entering the subtle body and enjoying life. \n(Adapted from HSP #2506 – 06-07-1984 from Yoga concept of God: Rasa – the Flavor of Essence by Swami Veda Bharati)

SUMMARY:Intensive Meditation Retreat with Swami Ritavan Bharati
DESCRIPTION:Yoga Meditation Identifies You as a Spiritual Seeker \nThese things are absolutely necessary to be a spiritual seeker: \n\n\n\nto be ever wakeful and constantly aware of realizing one’s aim.\nto be careful about the right use of time.\nto make the right use of every situation and circumstance in life.\nto regulate the breath to easily attain control of the modifications of the mind.\nto establish control and mastery over oneself and attain a state of equanimity.\n\n\n\nSummary:  One who does not follow the path of yoga but instead seeks to enjoy the fruits of his actions is subject to birth and death. It is as though he is born and dies without any purpose. \nThe purpose of life and the purpose of yoga is to lead you within to the highest state of tranquillity\, wisdom\, and bliss\, in which you remain fully conscious and aware of reality\, and one’s true nature. Yoga teaches you how to see within. If you remain an outsider\, your mind will continue to be influenced by the senses and ego’s desires and you will not understand why you have come to this world. \nThe main thing that one should learn in life is self-observation. If we want to understand ourselves\, we can analyse our personality by understanding our habit patterns. When we remain vigilant and consciously aware of every action we perform\, we realize that our actions arise from our unconscious mind. All thoughts\, sensations\, associations\, and desires arise from the subtle levels of our unconscious mind where we store impressions. You know them when they come to the conscious level but you are not observing and discerning the force of their patterns that lead to disturbance. \nWhen you apply self-observation and slowly learn the art of self-control through yoga’s introspective methods of meditation you first\, learn to relax\, and withdraw your senses voluntarily from the world of disturbance. When memories arise\, you simply observe and maintain the witness. What you observe are the suppressions and repressions that come forward. These deep mental impressions called samskaras come forward and disturb you because they reflect your unfulfilled desires and attachments. You are observing yourself through this identity with your mental states. \nOnly a profound method of meditation can help you to purify the ego. A purified ego does not create barriers\, conflicts\, or any disturbance. By practicing diligently\, you learn to coordinate actions\, speech\, and thinking to skilfully communicate and interact with others becoming selfless. But you will not realize the Truth unless you surrender your ego to the higher Self.   Only after rising above egocentric awareness\, can one find the universe within. Only then will you have the capacity to love all and exclude none. \nTo achieve a state of mental purity you will have to cultivate smriti – mindfulness and discrimination. The first step is to become aware of your thoughts. Through constant awareness\, you can learn to discriminate between pure and impure thoughts\, based on whether they lead to greater freedom or greater bondage. You are what you are because of the way you think\, feel\, and understand. It is not helpful to have animosity toward others or to imagine negative things which only lead to bondage. You are bound by the ropes of karma because karma is of your own making. What we experience today is the result of what we have created in our past\, and so too\, is our future of our own making. \nFreedom from karma is to be attained only when one passes beyond the limitations of mind to the highest state of superconscious known as tranquillity or samadhi. From this state alone\, achieved through the practice of meditation\, the seeker of Truth receives the intuitive awareness of the Supreme Self and passes through realization into freedom. It is the freedom of performing action selflessly as genuine love that reveals the purpose of life. \nMeditation has four phases. In the first stage of meditation\, there is still an awareness of the differentiation of concrete things. In the second\, there is an enjoyment and comprehension of universal oneness. In the third stage\, there is a realization of individual self (atman). The first three stages are “with seed”– that is; there is some subject and object in one’s awareness. When this fourth state of union\, samadhi “without seed” the revelation of essence alone remains. In this fourth state\, turiya\, the mind is left behind\, completely dissolved in the Self. \nOf course\, in the beginning\, you have to use the mind and make it one-pointed so that it does not dissipate and distract you from the work that you are doing. But later on\, the involvement of mind is not present in selfish desires and attachments to the fruits of one’s actions. As long as you are within the field and state of mind\, you are not in samadhi. When you are in samadhi you have gone beyond the domain of mind\, and when you have attained Turiya\, then you have achieved mastery\, and this mastery is your liberation.

SUMMARY:Mantra Practice After Initiation: Purash-charana
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nMantra is very central to meditation practice. In the Himalayan Tradition of Yoga Meditation\, the mantra stands as a representative of the eternal silence\, the abode of the Lord of Life within. \nIn the Mundaka Upanishad\, it is mentioned that “In the tree of life\, there sits two eternal birds and they can never be separate. One is individual self—Jiva\, and another is universal self—Ishwara\, the Lord. It is the individual soul who experiences the sweet and bitter fruits of the tree of life. The cosmic self just witnesses and remains radiant for ever.” \nElsewhere in the Upanishads\, it is said that\, in the chariot called human body\, the universal self and the individual self\, travel together from time immemorial\, so the sole purpose of meditation is to realise and experience within the omniscient and omnipotent universal self with its omnipresent. \nThat superconscious self projects itself through innumerable cosmic entities (Vedic deities). The mantras are the sonar (sound) forms of those cosmic entities and mantra initiation means handing over to a divine being who is the representation or himself a universal conscious being with infinite divine virtues. \nThe Upanishads declare that the sages by meditating on the cosmic sounds or mantras went into deep states of meditation and discovered/realised that the great power of universal conscious principle (Devatma Shakti) within. \nWe have in our tradition the systematic and precise approach to meditation mentioned in the ancient scriptures which are further commented and explained by Shri Swami Rama and Shri Swami Veda Bharati\, which helps the serious students of meditation to enhance their understanding and practicing skills to reach the ultimate goal of meditation. \nThis unique retreat with Shri Raghavendra Adiga is offered only to those who have received Mantra Initiation within the Himalayan Tradition. They will have an opportunity to go deeper in their personal mantra through the practice of Purash-charana. \n\nEditor’s Note:\nRaghavendra Adiga ji is a mantra initiator within the Himalayan Tradition. He is also a member of the AHYMSIN Adhyatma Samiti\, or Spiritual Committee.  He is the center leader of the Himalayan Centre for Yoga Meditation\, Tumkur\, Karnataka\, India\, which is an AHYMSIN Affiliated center.

SUMMARY:What is Yoga? International Yoga Day (IYD) Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The Himalayan Tradition is a meditative (dhyana) tradition. All the practices\, including asanas are practiced to prepare oneself for meditation. Hatha yoga is taught as an integrated practice\, which includes centering\, correct breathing\, breath-awareness\, stretching sequences\, joints & glands movements\, asanas\, subtle-body relaxations\, pranayamas\, and meditation. There is a focus on not only positioning the body correctly\, but also on experiencing what is happening within. Asanas are performed with reverence and gentleness in the mind\, moving from outside inwards. \nHatha Yoga\, as taught within the Himalayan Tradition is understood as “a continuum” involving all the eight limbs of Raja yoga\, especially Ahimsa. \n\nAs our beloved Swami Veda Bharati has said\, \n“What is this yoga? What is it? What are the signs of one practicing yoga? \nOn the very first sutra of the Yoga-sutras of Patanjali\, Vyasa\, the first and foremost sage commentator\, defines: \nYogah samadhih\nYoga [means] samadhi. \n‘Yogah samadhih’ is also in the logo of our organization AHYMSIN – the Association of Himalayan Yoga Meditation Societies International – with headquarters at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama in Rishikesh. \nThe most authentic ancient text of yoga speaks of it in these terms. \nThe most authentic ancient text of Ayurveda\, Charaka-samhita\, states: \nYogo moksha-pravartakah\nYoga is that which impels and grants spiritual liberation (moksha) \nSharira-sthana 1.137” \nThis International Yoga Day (IYD)\, let us try to understand what truly and traditionally yoga is\, beyond the asanas\, as it is now popularly understood.

SUMMARY:Workshop Series on Sadhana in Applied Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:A little known and rarely understood but essential part of yoga is self-cultivation. For our yoga sadhana to reach the highest goal\, we must transform our personality into one that is primarily sattvic because this highest states of samadhi are only accessible to a sattvic mind. \nSwami Veda Bharati was a master of self-cultivation\, and\, in his book\, Sadhana in Applied Spirituality\, he laid out a sadhana for self-cultivation for those of us living in the world. This is advanced practice and it’s challenging. But success at this sadhana will bring rewards both in the world and in our spiritual quest. \n \nIn this series of workshops\, through talks\, introspection\, group dialogue\, and exercises\, we will read and discuss Sadhana in Applied Spirituality with an aim to both understand and practice the prescribed sadhana and integrate it into our lives. \nWorkshop sessions will occur every other week and you’ll have “homework” (practices) to do in-between sessions. Practitioners at all levels of yoga practice may benefit from this course. \n\nAbout the Workshop Leader:\nRandall Krause is a Senior Teacher and Mentor in the Himalayan Yoga Meditation Tradition. He has been an initiate more than 30 years and spent much time learning closely from Swami Veda Bharati. He also often personally served Swamiji in India and America. He has taught the Himalayan Tradition in the USA\, Europe\, India (at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama)\, and in Thailand and Taiwan. Randall has closely studied “Sadhana in Applied Spirituality” and experimented with applying the principles in his own life.
