SUMMARY:Retreat-Seminar on The Heart of Recognition
DESCRIPTION:The Pratyabhijñā Hṛdayam\, “The Heart of Recognition”\, of Kṣemarāja (early 11th century)\, is a profound and concise summary text of the spirituality of non-dualist Kashmir Śaivism. Pratyabhijñā or divine recognition is the core philosophy\, as expounded by Utpaladeva (9th century) in his Īśvarapratyabhijñā Kārikās (“Verses on the Recognition of the Lord”)\, and Kṣemarāja\, genial disciple of Abhinavagupta\, gives an experiential key to this non-dualism. He places the mystical experience of pure Awareness at the centre\, giving both\, the background and the practical ways to reach the permanent state of samādhi. \nThis seminar\, which combines text study and practice\, will be especially useful for those who have already studied other texts of Kashmir Śaivism like Vijñāna Bhairava\, Śiva Sūtras\, Netra Tantra\, etc. For newcomers to this tradition\, it can prepare the ground for further study and practice. \nThe program includes two sessions of text teaching\, about 3 hours of meditation\, yoga and recitation of stotras of the tradition. \nThe teacher:\nDr. Bettina Sharada Bäumer is a direct disciple of the last Master of Kashmir Śaivism\, Swami Lakshman Joo (1907-1991). She lives in Varanasi since 1967 where she has her own teaching and research centre. She is an accredited Professor at the Universities of Vienna and Salzburg\, Austria\, in Religious Studies. She has taught at these and several other universities in Europe. \nShe has authored and edited 25 books in Sanskrit\, English and German\, and about 60 research articles\, mainly in the fields of Āgama/ Tantra and Kashmir Śaivism\, Upanishads\, Indian aesthetics\, temple architecture and religious traditions of Orissa\, and interreligious dialogue. \nRegular Practice:\nAttending this teaching would not in any way mean changing your regular practice in the tradition of our Gurudeva Swami Rama. \nDaily practice of usual hatha in our tradition and daily silent meditation of one hour will also continue. \nOfferings:\nAs we are having eminent high level scholar and sadhika as our guest\, in addition to covering the costs of SRSG hospitality\, to keep an offerings envelope ready to correspond with the level of her eminence. \nRequirements:\nExperience in meditation and yoga. Some knowledge of Sanskrit will be helpful. but it is not an essential requirement. \nOnly full participation will be allowed because the text needs to be studied in its entirety. \nA preparation course on Shaivite Tantra with Swami Ma Radha Bharati and Swami Prayag Giri. This course will include lectures by Swami Veda Bharati on Shaivism that were prerequisites for the earlier Shiva Sutra Seminar and provide background for seminars by Dr. Bettina Sharada Bäumer. This course is scheduled for 23rd-25th October\, 2017\, at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG). \nContact:\nContact: ahymsin@ahymsin.org

SUMMARY:Breath Seminar 2017
DESCRIPTION:Marilou Hermens will be teaching the 2017 Breath Seminar 31st October – 4th November 2017 at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG)\, Rishikesh\, India. She will be assisted by senior teachers and the SRSG teaching staff. \nThis retreat will include subtleties of breath practices. \n“An intensive practice of Pranayama’s 3 times a day! It is a true gift to yourself. Complete breath\, kapalabhati (different levels for beginners and advanced)\, bhastrika (different levels for beginners and advanced)\, bhramari\, ujjayi\, nadi shodhanam (different types). All will be built up from the basics as has been taught by Swami Veda Bharati and on different levels for beginners and advanced practitioners. This seminar can be done while remaining in silence to deepen your personal inner journey. Beginners and advanced practitioners are all welcome and will be guided according to their level.” \n– Marilou Hermens \nMarilou: “It is my greatest desire to help as many people to learn to breathe healthy. The effects of a healthy diaphragmatic breathing are unprecedented. The breath is influenced by physical effort\, thoughts and emotions. The special feature is that the breath always keeps going. The trick is to learn to guide the breathing itself: the right place with the diaphragm\, slower\, quieter\, without fits and starts\, silently\, through the nose. The Himalayan Tradition teaches how with just small adjustments your practice and experience of stillness will deepen so much more. As the breathing is always central in all my classes of yoga and meditation and in every second of my daily life\, my senses have been trained to observe and to help others ” \nOpen to all \nCost: Cost of SRSG hospitality plus goodwill offering for instruction. \nMarilou Hermens is a faculty member of HYT-TTP (Himalayan Yoga Tradition – Teacher Training Program)\, teaches at the teacher training retreats at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, and serves as a mentor; she also has a center in the Netherlands.
