SUMMARY:Life: A Sacred Journey Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Innately all human beings know that life has a higher purpose\, even though they may argue and create philosophies that maintain that life is aimless or an accidental phenomenon in an infinite universe\, and thereby nourish and strengthen an inner emptiness and discontentment. \nWe tend to project that unhelpful and unhealthy interior state into our daily lives and begin to try to fulfil that sentiment of absence looking for completion from the objects and comforts of the world – mostly through our relations and possessions – or even in all kinds of vices\, which eventually leads us to even more misery and sorrow. But the paradox is that\, despite all of it\, we remain attached to the transitory little pleasures. Without realizing what could give us eternal happiness\, we keep on going gathering things and renewing relations\, and thereby intensifying our bondage and attachment to them. This dependency on the worldly objects for pleasure leads to a very deep-rooted fear of death – the fear of losing all these material things. \n“In one way or another everyone strives for happiness\, calmness\, and peace of heart and mind.” \nThe Ancient Sages\, through the transmission of the perennial wisdom revealed to them\, especially in the Upanishads\, have showed us that the way to dispel the darkness of confusion and ignorance from our mind is by learning how to think properly in order to discriminate between what is the Absolute Reality and what is Its temporal manifestation\, which is subjected to change\, death and decay. \nSwami Rama also stated in the Introduction of the book on same title:\n“To understand death\, a person must try to understand the purpose of life and the relationship between life and death. The two are partners\, each providing a context for the other. Death is not a period\, but merely a pause on a long journey. When life and death are accepted as having real meaning and purpose\, and death is understood and accepted as part of the human journey\, then the fear of death disappears\, and life can be lived fully.”  \nBy thinking properly and correcting our understanding we can live a life purposefully and experience the transition period gracefully. In this residential retreat with Rabindra Sahu\, we will make an attempt to understand the purpose of our life\, and how to move forward towards our purpose in life.

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:Guru Purnima Retreat
DESCRIPTION:ॐ 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. \n“This day\, the day of Guru Purnima is considered to be the holiest day for the students of life; for those that have been treading the path of light; for those aspiring to attain enlightenment in this lifetime. They remember this day and celebrate it by becoming aware the purpose of life is to attain enlightenment; the state of mind\, internal state\, that makes one free from all pains and miseries.” – Swami Rama \nOn the sacred occasion of the Guru Purnima\, a 9-day celebration is held annually at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) Ashram in Rishikesh. This includes akhanda-patha (24-hour non-stop recitation) of the Guru-Gita\, the Song to the Guru\, preceding the Guru Purnima Day. The akhanda-patha of the Guru-Gita is offered both at the SRSG and the Sadhana Mandir Ashram by 11 Pandits each.  This special celebration is a reminder for us to pay our homage to the Guru Lineage that has bestowed upon us the great blessings of mantra\, meditation\, initiation and the teachings of the Himalayan Yoga Tradition. This way we also recommit ourselves to our practices. \nThis year\, the Guru Purnima is celebrated on 3 July\, 2023. The Guru Purnima Retreat will be organised at SRSG from 25 June – 3 July 2023.
