SUMMARY:Renunciation: The Universal Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Swami Ritavan Bharati invites all sincere seekers to join this special program on the most auspicious occasion of the Maha-Shivaratri. In 2027\, Maha-Shiavratri will be on 6 March 2027. \nHe has said\, \n‘Let your Maha-Shivaratri pilgrimage to Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama draw you to receive the Guru’s Embrace of Love that enwraps all spiritual seekers of Light. Plan to participate in the Shivaratri week-long activities that invites a deeper awareness and offers an opportunity for inner transformation when internal havan burns the dross of samskaras\, and external havan with japa creates a transformative experience. \nMay these themes of fearlessness\, non-attachment\, and renunciation resonate with that innermost desireless state of equanimity and joy. \nA renunciate breathes the life-breath of all; nurturing while being attached to none; gives support and encouragement to all without needing emotional support; free from fears and jealousy\, loving all\, excluding none\, with “abhayam” for there is no “other” to fear. \nLet your heart remain open to receiving this calling of Lord Shiva\, the Universal Renunciate.’ \n

SUMMARY:A New Chapter in the Himalayan Yoga Tradition - Teacher Training Program (HYT-TTP)
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, we celebrated two sacred events with our global family—the birth centenary of Gurudeva Swami Rama and the 10th Mahasamadhi of our beloved Swami Veda Bharati. These sacred occasions brought forward a new wave within our global sangha as we came together in gratitude towards the loving guidance and teachings of the Tradition that continues to flow and guide us each day. \nDuring this same period\, Swami Ritavan Bharati\, AHYMSIN’s Spiritual Guide and Ashram Pramukha\, shared his vision for the next chapter of the Himalayan Yoga Tradition – Teacher Training Program (HYT-TTP). Swami Ritavan shared that it was Swami Veda’s wish to offer this program from Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram in Rishikesh—the global headquarters of AHYMSIN and the spiritual home of the global sangha. \nFor several decades\, the HYT-TTP has served sincere aspirants worldwide in discovering the authentic teachings of yoga meditation\, and in experiencing the subtler teachings in their personal lives. Over the years\, the program has trained and helped transform hundreds of teachers across the world to first deepen their own practice and then to share the wisdom of the Himalayan Tradition with their students. \nIn Swami Veda’s own words: \n“This program has been designed to pass on the essential principles and practices of the Tradition\, which fosters personal development on all levels. For the aspiring as well as the experienced teacher\, the program presents all aspects of yoga/meditation in a spiritually inspiring context… \nOur practical\, experiential approach to teacher training encourages students to incorporate these skills into their daily lives.” \nA Renewed Approach to Teacher Training\nAnnouncing this renewal\, Swami Ritavan Bharati shared: \n“The teaching as taught by Gurudeva Swami Rama and Swami Veda has been carrying on for 55 years. We are starting another era of the teacher training program here at our ashram. It will be a month-long intensive residency that will be full days of all aspects of training yoga teachers. Not so much for the purpose that they will do research\, not for the purpose that they will go out and teach the philosophy\, but that they will practice\, and they will teach from their experience of practicing.” \nThe renewed program is dedicated to making the teachings of Gurudev Swami Rama available to a new generation of sincere aspirants. It carries forward the essence of what Swami Veda offered us as the foundation of a teacher in the Himalayan Yoga Tradition: self-transformation through personal practice and teaching through one’s own experience. \nThe program offers an integrated approach to learning\, practice\, reflection\, and self-study\, allowing participants to experience the teachings not merely as knowledge\, but as a way of life. \nKey Highlights of the Renewed Teacher Training Program\n1. An Integrated Program in Self-Transformation \nThe renewed program is offered in a hybrid format\, combining an immersive period of 4-week in-person learning with continued personal practice\, self-study\, and online guidance for 20 weeks. \n4-week Intensive Residential Retreat at SRSG offering experiential and practical training into the study and practice of yoga meditation\, within the spiritually energised environment of Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama. \n21-week Guided Self-study and Personal Practice that is supported by live online weekend classes with internationally acclaimed faculty\, thus allowing opportunity for receiving continued guidance from the teachers and providing space and time for self-observation\, self-examination\, and self-purification. \n2. Beginning with Level One – 200 Hours \nThe renewed program begins with the first-ever 4-week Level One\, 200 Hours retreat At SRSG from 14 March to 10 April 2027. The program will be offered twice each year—in March and November. \n3. Ten Study Areas \nIn line with the teachings of Gurudeva Swami Rama and Swami Veda Bharati\, and rooted in the traditional texts of yoga\, the program continues to offer the same ten integrated study areas\, as in the previous format of HYT-TTP: \n\nYoga Foundation Studies\nYoga Sadhana\nHatha Yoga\nBreathing and Pranayama\nRelaxation and Meditation\nAnatomy and Physiology\nHolistic Health and Ayurveda\nYoga Psychology\nYoga Philosophy\nTeaching Methodology\n\n4. An international faculty rooted in the Tradition \nThe program brings together an internationally recognised faculty of teachers\, who have been trained within the Himalayan Yoga Tradition under the guidance and inspiration of Gurudeva Swami Rama\, Swami Veda Bharati\, and Swami Ritavan Bharati. \nRegistrations for the March 2027 program will begin on 20 October 2026. \nFor further information about the program\, please write to Namita Sinha at ahymsinttp@gmail.com \nWith a deep commitment to preserving and carrying forward the teachings of the Himalayan Yoga Tradition\, as per the wishes of our beloved master Swami Veda Bharati\, we pray to continue to receive the guidance of the Himalayan Sages on this renewed path\, \nIn loving service of the Sages of the Himalayas\, \nNamita Sinha

SUMMARY:Annual 40-Days Spiritual Festival
DESCRIPTION:Plan now for what spiritual improvements you will make in the next 40-days\, in the next one year\, in the next five years… \n\n\nEach summer during the 40 days that precede Guru Purnima\, sadhakas are invited to participate in the 40-Day Spiritual Festival\, to expand and refine one’s sadhana. \nIn 2026\, the 40-Day Spiritual Festival will begin on 20th June and will end on 29th July\, which is Guru Purnima. \nThese 40 days are celebrated wherever you are. \n“We are all here for a purpose; it is an on-going spiritual process. We are all here for spiritual liberation and serving that mission. For that purpose we are purifying ourselves of our pride and ego. For these reasons we train ourselves in constant self-observation: to see oneself\, to hear oneself to develop this internal dialogue. I have used one criterion for all my thoughts\, my words\, and my actions: ‘Is this conducive to spiritual liberation.’” – Swami Veda Bharati \nIt is a time to contemplate (and talk with others about) the many ways you can participate. \nFor more information you may visit https://www.ahymsin.org/annual-40-days-spiritual-festival/

SUMMARY:Guru – Disciple Relationship
DESCRIPTION:In Honor of our beloved Swami Veda Bharati ji’s Mahasamadhi\n\nॐ गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः।\nगुरुः साक्षात्परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः।। \nOm gurur brahmā gurur viṣṇur gurur devo maheśvaraḥ\,\nguruḥ sākṣāt paraṁ brahma tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ. \nOm. To that beautiful and benevolent Guru who is Brahmā\, the Creator\, Viṣṇu\, the Maintainer\, and Śiva\, the Great Lord through whom all things return to their origin. To that Guru who is the direct experience of Brahman\, salutations. \nOn the most special occasion of our beloved founder Mahamandaleshwar Shri Swami Veda Bharati ji’s 11th Mahasamadhi Anniversary (14th July)\, let us come together to pay homage to the Guru Lineage on this special day and to recommit ourselves to the living current of the Guru–Disciple relationship. On the most auspicious day of 14 July 2026\, we will also hold a shraddhanjali and a bhandara in His loving remembrance. \nJoin us for this satsanga with Rabindra Sahu\, as we come together to delve deep into the meaning and significance of the Guru Prayer and the sacred relationship between a Guru and a disciple. \nIn our tradition\, the Mahasamadhi is the Guru’s final blessing—the moment of conscious departure\, when the physical form is shed and the master becomes a pure\, limitless stream of consciousness. From that stream\, the disciple may drink forever. \n“What is a Guru? A magnet. What is a disciple? A few needles.” — Swami Veda Bharati \nOn this sacred occasion of Swamiji’s Mahasamadhi\, let us come as needles to the magnet—not to grasp something new\, but to remember what has never been lost. \n\nRecommended Readings:\n\nBook – Guru Disciple Relationship Vol 1 by Swami Veda Bharati\nBook – Guru Disciple Relationship Vol 2 by Swami Veda Bharati\n\n\nRead More Information:\n\nAbout visiting the ashram – Accommodation\nAbout our other short-term upcoming events – Events\nAbout our ongoing short-term Ashram Immersion Program\nAbout how you may contribute towards the ashram – Donate

SUMMARY:Mahasamadhi Celebrations of Swami Veda Bharati
DESCRIPTION:In loving remembrance of our beloved founder Mahamandaleshwar Sri Swami Veda Bharati (1933- July 14\, 2015)\, we will gather at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram in Rishikesh to honor his luminous life and timeless teachings. \nSwami Veda Bharati ji was a rare Sanskrit scholar and a profound master of meditation\, who dedicated his life to spreading the wisdom of the Himalayan Tradition as taught by Gurudeva HH Swami Rama of the Himalayas across the world. His voice carried the essence of yoga and meditation into diverse cultures\, languages\, and faiths\, reminding us that meditation is the common ground of all religions. \nBorn into a Sanskrit-speaking family and raised in the centuries-old Vedic tradition\, Swami Veda began teaching the Yoga Sutras at the age of nine and the Vedas at eleven. His journey led him to guide meditation groups worldwide\, record thousands of hours of teachings\, and author authoritative commentaries on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras\, along with several other books. He emphasized that yoga is samadhi\, and through his life’s work\, he revealed the universality of yoga as a science beyond boundaries of time\, geography\, and sectarianism. \nAs we commemorate the most auspicious occasion of his 11th Mahasamadhi day\, we invite you to join us in a warm gathering of remembrance and gratitude. Together\, let us celebrate his legacy\, reflect on his teachings\, and renew our commitment to the path of meditation and selfless service. May his light continue to guide us toward inner stillness and universal harmony.
