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 2025\, the 40-Day Spiritual Festival will begin on 1st June and will end on 10th 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 Purnima Pujas & Celebrations
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 10 July 2025. The Guru Purnima Retreat will be organised at SRSG from 2 July – 10 July 2025.

SUMMARY:84-Days Intensive Sadhana Retreat
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to share with you an invitation to an 84-days Intensive Sadhana Retreat within the Himalayan Tradition at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, Rishikesh. With heartfelt and eternal gratitude towards Gurudeva Swami Rama for having shown us the path of the Himalayan Masters\, on the most blessed occasion of His birth centennial celebration\, this retreat will offer an intensive and in-depth immersion into the practices of yoga meditation as taught within the unbroken lineage of the Himalayan Sages. The program will begin on the sacred day of the Guru Purnima (10 July 2025). \nThis program offers a unique opportunity for those practitioners who have been learning yoga meditation for some time and are now seeking to deepen their sadhana (spiritual practices) at the ashram. Therefore\, those students within the Himalayan Tradition who may not be able to commit to our longer programs like the one-year Swami Rama Dhyana Gurukulam\, but would like to immerse themselves in the ashram’s silent and meditative environment for a longer duration\, may join this program. \nOver the course of 84 days\, one will have the chance to build a strong foundation for a lasting spiritual transformation\, to develop a personal philosophy of life\, and to renew your sankalpa—spiritual resolve. This program encompasses the teachings and practices of – \n\n\n\nHatha-Yoga – Philosophy\, Science and Practice of Hatha Yoga\, Pranayama\, and Systematic Relaxation.\nYoga-sutras – Selected sections from the Yoga-sutras focusing on ‘making the mind a pleasant field’.\nBhakti – Experience the joy of devotion through daily Havana (fire offerings)\, chantings\, kirtan\, personal japa\, selfless meditation\, and dedicated hours of seva (selfless service).\nTantra and Mantra science – Worshipping the Divine Mother through the recitation of Shri Lalita Sahasranama. Deepening our understanding of Mantra science and practice of one’s own personal initiation mantra through Purash-charana.\nAdvaita Vedanta – We will study the foundational and classical text—Tattva-bodha—by Adi Sankaracharya that expounds the core concepts of Vedanta\, thus preparing the seeker for advanced studies of the Bhagavad-gita\, Upanishads and Brahma-sutras.\n\n\n\nThe art of spiritual learning through the three steps of sravana (listening)\, manana (reflection/contemplation/clearing of doubts) and nididhyasana (meditation on the truth/integration/experience) will be adopted in all classes. Therefore\, the focus of the program shall be on turning inwards\, from information to knowledge and from knowledge to experience\, and from experience to self-realisation. \nThis is a rare opportunity to be nurtured in the womb of the Himalayan Tradition within the sacred space of the ashram. Seekers of all backgrounds and ages\, from all over the world are warmly invited to join us on this sacred journey of self-discovery. \nBeginning Date: 10 July 2025 (Guru Purnima Day) \nLast Date for Application: 30 June 2025 \nDuration: 84 days \nMedium of Instruction: English \nEligibility: All seekers\, irrespective of religion\, gender\, caste\, age\, nationality\, etc. who can lovingly commit to an intensive\n84-days stay at the SRSG ashram in Rishikesh\, India. \nFor more information: Kindly email it to us at ahymsin@gmail.com

So\, we can enjoy the presence of the Guru Lineage on this sacred day. Come\, with your family\, with your friends\, with all those dear to you and join us for this special celebration and let us reunite in his Divine Light. Come for a week and also join the Guru Purnima pujas on 10th July. Come for three days\, if you cannot come for a week; come for a day.

SUMMARY:Meditation and Its Practice
DESCRIPTION:This six-day programme is as much appropriate for beginners as for more advanced seekers treading the path of spirituality. The foundation stones of meditation will be approached in a scientific and systematic manner. Preparations and progressions of meditation practice will be shared step by step. This course will give you the tools to establish and pursue a regular personal meditation practice. \nIn his book Meditation and Its Practice\, Swami Rama of the Himalayas wrote: \n“For thousands of years\, the science of meditation has been studied and practiced by aspirants who sought to make their lives more serene\, creative and fulfilling.

SUMMARY:Himalayan Yoga Tradition Retreat in Brazil
DESCRIPTION:In this retreat with Rabindra Sahu\, we will be learning about the Wisdom of the Divine Feminine in Nature and throughout the Universe around us. Swami Veda Bharati also reminded us “to bring the gentleness\, compassion and motherhood of the feminine among us all. This has nothing to do with the gender of the person practicing this observance\, but rather with strengthening the maternal quality within each one of us.” \nCome and have an Indian ashram experience without having to go to India. These will be transformative days where our perspective of Being will be broadened. As a result\, Tradition will emerge in our actions. The full force of the Himalayan Yoga Tradition will be present in Paradise on Earth. In this partnership between centuries-old traditions\, Paradise on Earth and the Himalayan Yoga Tradition will stir your divine Being so that positive and harmonious transformation will gently spring up for you even after the retreat. \nYoga posture practices\, meditation\, health practices\, integration with nature\, mantras\, healthy eating\, and much more will be present in this complete journey. \nSwami Rama was the master of the Himalayan Yoga Tradition who gifted us with a profound spiritual legacy. This beautiful tradition\, in organized lineage dating back to very ancient times in India\, organized the teachings through the Swami Veda Bharati and Swami Ritavan Bharati. \nNourished by the teachings of these great masters\, Rabindra Sahu\, today one of the teachers at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram in India\, will be present in Paradise on Earth to bring an experience as if we were in an Indian Ashram. We will follow the practices\, teachings and schedules established for the great journey into our Being. \nA golden moment for our spirituality that must be qualified as important in the transformation we wish to make. \nLocation: Paradise on Earth\nEcological Reserve ITB – Theosophical Institute of Brasília\nRodovia DF-220\, Km 4 – Brazlândia/DF \nDate and time: 22 July – 27  July 2025 \nWhatsApp: (61) 99966 5532 \nRegistration Link: https://www.paraisonaterra.com.br/hyt2025/
