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

SUMMARY:Inspirations from the Himalayan Master - Online Event Series
DESCRIPTION:A 100-day contemplative study dedicated to Swami Rama’s birth centenary\, inspired by his teachings through two of his profound books. \nSwami Rama of the Himalayas was raised in the cave monasteries of the Himalayas\, among yogis and adepts in the ancient science of yoga and Indian spirituality. Swamiji\, as we fondly refer to him\, was sent to the United States in the late 1960s by his master to share the science of yoga with the Western world – empowering people to live more meaningfully\, understand themselves\, and discover the purpose of life. \nAn author\, poet\, doctor\, artist\, and humanitarian\, Swami Rama transformed the lives of many through his lectures\, books\, and discourses. His method of teaching was direct and accessible\, enabling the modern mind to understand and apply ancient wisdom in daily life. Swamiji taught Indian scriptures such as the Upanishads\, the Bhagavad Gita\, and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras with both practical insight and philosophical depth. \nSwami Rama was a prolific author\, and authored over 45 books on yoga\, meditation\, philosophy\, and Indian spirituality. His writings reflect a blend of deep experiential wisdom and clarity\, rooted in the teachings of the Himalayan tradition. \nIn this 100-Day online course\, we shall study and contemplate on two of Swami Ji’s books \n1. A Practical Guide to Holistic Health by Swami Rama\nThis is a book ideal for a beginner and any yoga practitioner as Swami Ji lays clearly the yogic as well as modern principles of health of the body\, mind and spirit. For anyone looking to understand and take charge of their well-being\, this book is an invaluable guide. \nThe book offers simple and systematic approach to \n\n\n\n\n\nDiet\nExercise\nBreath awareness\nPositive use of emotions\nRelationships\nMeditation\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd other spiritual practices so that the whole person – body\, mind and spirit can attain radiant health. The book is both inspiring and with numerous practical instructions for those who wish to live with awareness\, purpose and joyfully in their daily lives and become a source of joy to those around them. \nBuilding on the foundation laid through our previous study of A Practical Guide to Holistic Health\, our next exploration will be The Art of Joyful Living. \n2. The Art of Joyful Living by Swami Rama\nIn this book\, Swamiji shows us how to cultivate happiness and a calm\, tranquil mind. He guides the seeker in turning the mind away from its outward distractions toward inner stillness—revealing a deeper purpose to life and a more joyful way of living. \nThe book dwells on the various topics of inner exploration and self-transformation: \n\n\n\nKnowing own true Self\nTransformation of habit patterns\nPositive and negative emotions\nMemory and the nature of mind\nDeveloping strength and will power\nDeveloping intuition\nPurifying samskaras\nSpirituality in loving relationships\nMeditation\n\n\n\nIn Swami Rama’s words\, “You are a creation of God\, but happiness is your own creation.” \nThis book is a guide to developing a loving and joyful relationship with yourself and others. \nSelf-Study and Journaling\nFor any true change to take place within\, self-effort is essential. In the yoga tradition\, this effort is known as the practice of swadhyaya—self-study. Swadhyaya involves both the study of yoga texts by oneself and the introspective examination of the self\, viewed through the lens of the texts. \nAs part of this course\, you will be guided to engage in journaling and personal experiments—reflecting on your habits and cultivating a joyful personality as outlined in the book. \nKeep a diary ready! \nCourse Schedule\n3rd August to 9th November 2025\nSundays | 6:00 to 7:00 PM IST\nFee ₹ 7000 \nAs a dedication to Gurudeva Swami Rama\, all proceeds from this course will be donated to the ashram Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, Rishikesh. \nRecommended Books: \n\n\n\nThe Art of Joyful Living by Swami Rama\nA Practical Guide to Holistic Health by Swami Rama\nLiving with the Himalayan Masters by Swami Rama\n\n\n\nAll three titles are available on Amazon.

SUMMARY:Inspirations from the Himalayan Master - Online Event Series
DESCRIPTION:A 100-day contemplative study dedicated to Swami Rama’s birth centenary\, inspired by his teachings through two of his profound books. \nSwami Rama of the Himalayas was raised in the cave monasteries of the Himalayas\, among yogis and adepts in the ancient science of yoga and Indian spirituality. Swamiji\, as we fondly refer to him\, was sent to the United States in the late 1960s by his master to share the science of yoga with the Western world – empowering people to live more meaningfully\, understand themselves\, and discover the purpose of life. \nAn author\, poet\, doctor\, artist\, and humanitarian\, Swami Rama transformed the lives of many through his lectures\, books\, and discourses. His method of teaching was direct and accessible\, enabling the modern mind to understand and apply ancient wisdom in daily life. Swamiji taught Indian scriptures such as the Upanishads\, the Bhagavad Gita\, and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras with both practical insight and philosophical depth. \nSwami Rama was a prolific author\, and authored over 45 books on yoga\, meditation\, philosophy\, and Indian spirituality. His writings reflect a blend of deep experiential wisdom and clarity\, rooted in the teachings of the Himalayan tradition. \nIn this 100-Day online course\, we shall study and contemplate on two of Swami Ji’s books \n1. A Practical Guide to Holistic Health by Swami Rama\nThis is a book ideal for a beginner and any yoga practitioner as Swami Ji lays clearly the yogic as well as modern principles of health of the body\, mind and spirit. For anyone looking to understand and take charge of their well-being\, this book is an invaluable guide. \nThe book offers simple and systematic approach to \n\n\n\n\n\nDiet\nExercise\nBreath awareness\nPositive use of emotions\nRelationships\nMeditation\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd other spiritual practices so that the whole person – body\, mind and spirit can attain radiant health. The book is both inspiring and with numerous practical instructions for those who wish to live with awareness\, purpose and joyfully in their daily lives and become a source of joy to those around them. \nBuilding on the foundation laid through our previous study of A Practical Guide to Holistic Health\, our next exploration will be The Art of Joyful Living. \n2. The Art of Joyful Living by Swami Rama\nIn this book\, Swamiji shows us how to cultivate happiness and a calm\, tranquil mind. He guides the seeker in turning the mind away from its outward distractions toward inner stillness—revealing a deeper purpose to life and a more joyful way of living. \nThe book dwells on the various topics of inner exploration and self-transformation: \n\n\n\nKnowing own true Self\nTransformation of habit patterns\nPositive and negative emotions\nMemory and the nature of mind\nDeveloping strength and will power\nDeveloping intuition\nPurifying samskaras\nSpirituality in loving relationships\nMeditation\n\n\n\nIn Swami Rama’s words\, “You are a creation of God\, but happiness is your own creation.” \nThis book is a guide to developing a loving and joyful relationship with yourself and others. \nSelf-Study and Journaling\nFor any true change to take place within\, self-effort is essential. In the yoga tradition\, this effort is known as the practice of swadhyaya—self-study. Swadhyaya involves both the study of yoga texts by oneself and the introspective examination of the self\, viewed through the lens of the texts. \nAs part of this course\, you will be guided to engage in journaling and personal experiments—reflecting on your habits and cultivating a joyful personality as outlined in the book. \nKeep a diary ready! \nCourse Schedule\n3rd August to 9th November 2025\nSundays | 6:00 to 7:00 PM IST\nFee ₹ 7000 \nAs a dedication to Gurudeva Swami Rama\, all proceeds from this course will be donated to the ashram Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, Rishikesh. \nRecommended Books: \n\n\n\nThe Art of Joyful Living by Swami Rama\nA Practical Guide to Holistic Health by Swami Rama\nLiving with the Himalayan Masters by Swami Rama\n\n\n\nAll three titles are available on Amazon.
