SUMMARY:AHYMSIN Sangha Gathering 2026
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to share with you all that the dates for the next AHYMSIN Sangha Gathering in 2026 have now been finalised. Swami Ritavan extends his personal invitations to all members of the Guru family. \nIt would be lovely to receive your beautiful presence at the ashram for this once in three years event. Do remember to mark your calendars and plan to come to Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram in Rishikesh between 1-10 March\, 2026 for another inspiring and transformative immersion into the timeless teachings of the Himalayan Masters. \nInvitation from Swami Ritavan Bharati:\n“I would like to extend again the invitation to continue living in the vasudeva principle\, the principle of the in-dweller\, the single in-dwelling deity\, the in-dwelling force.”  – Swami Veda Bharati \nWith overflowing joy and profound gratitude\, we extend a heartfelt invitation to our worldwide sangha to our next Sangha Gathering in 2026. Our theme for 2026-29 will be “vasudeva sarvam”—That indwelling One is All. There is no other in relation-to\, or conditioned-by. \nOne of the many ways the word “Vasudeva” is translated in Bhagavad-gita is the “indwelling deity.” This is closely related to the word “vasu\,” meaning “all places\,” for all places are dwelling places of divinity. Vasu is also the “hamsa”\, that swan of the universal prana dwelling every-where in every-thing. “Vasu-mana” is also one of the thousand names of the Divine. Vasu-mana means beautiful mind\, a mind that dwells as light in Being\, and therefore\, Vasu is the beautiful\, light-filled\, indwelling force. \nMay your mind be vasu-mana\, not this “me”\, this little individuated mind\, but mind as it is linked to the minds of the whole universe. One mind-wave meeting another mind-wave in this oceanic-wave-field\, and the two become one. When your individual mind touches that universal mind\, “samasthi-chitta”\, the senses of time and space dissolve. There is a force that acts through the force-field called “mind”\, where space and time cease and some other force flows. This is the “Guru-force”. \nWhen we live by the in-dweller principle\, we know that spirit in all beings is one.  We must not be satisfied by merely speaking of it superficially.  We must live by it in our relationships with all beings. \nThe 2026 Sangha Gathering would be an opportunity to learn to allow all your acts to be acts of compassion onto all living beings. Learn to recognise the oneness of the in-dwelling spirit within ourselves and within all living beings. Quite often we get fearful of the other\, we get angry at the other and we get defensive in front of the other. Who is fearful of whom? Who is angry at whom? Who needs to defend whom against whom? We are not there yet\, let’s embark on this journey together. \nSwamiji says\, “[Learn to] cultivate a sweet sentiment. It is not an act of compassion\, nor is it a repression; it is an act of cultivating a beautiful sentiment.  For if the in-dwelling spirit is one\, at whom am I being angry?  Ask yourself that question\, and that would help you to overcome the strong urge towards violence.” \nWe pursue relationships for pleasure\, fulfillment and security\, regardless of the nature of the relationship. The ‘Vasudeva principle’ is an invitation towards conquest of the urge to use other living beings for your pleasure. Conquest of the urge to use others as your safety valves.  Both are violations of the principle of the one\, indwelling spirit.  Not only that\, but you are then seeing every living being as your kith and kin – lovable. So when you come upon an ant or a bug\, know the oneness of the in-dwelling spirit.  Let your heart be filled with love and compassion. \nThis oneness being within us all\, I hope to see all members of the Guru’s family at the same place\, at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, at the same time\, from March 1 – 10\, 2026. \n\nWe are members in the spiritual body of the Gurus. Their life-force\, their grace flows through us. Our own minds grow in this grace only when we remember that in all our work we are serving as members\, as organs\, of that Spirit. – Swami Veda Bharati \nAs constituents of this Sangha\, this body of the Guru\, we aspire to come together regularly for the pursuit of our spiritual goals\, to take stock of our progress\, as well as chart the way ahead to prepare ourselves for a deeper commitment to our sadhana\, and to the Mission. \nThis AHYMSIN Sangha Gathering from 1-10 March 2026 will mark the beginning of our sangha practice based on this theme of “vasudeva sarvam”. \nAs we prepare for the Sangha Gathering\, we are happy to share details on the various activities: \n\nYajna (fire offering) and Purnahuti (conclusion of the practice) of the current AHYMSIN Sangha Mantra—akhandamandalakaram mantra.\nSwami Ritavan will guide the AHYMSIN Sangha into the new practices for the next 3 years.\nYajna and Japa with the new AHYMSIN Sangha Mantra.\nReceive many blessings and a beautiful meditation shawl from Swami Ritavan and the Guru Lineage.\nSpecial Sessions on our theme – “vasudeva sarvam—That indwelling One is All” with Swami Ritavan and other senior teachers.\nGuided Meditations with Swami Ritavan and members of the AHYMSIN Spiritual Committee in the Initiation Room\nOpportunity for silence practice and guidance on deepening one’s personal practices.\nAdvanced classes on Hatha yoga\, Pranayama\, Contemplative Walking with senior teachers.\nGroup Discussions on the Mission of AHYMSIN\nAHYMSIN Executive Committee Elections\nAn excursion and pilgrimage to an ancient temple.\nCultural Programmes\nCelebration of the Festival of Colors – Holi!!\n\nWe also take this opportunity to express our encouragement to participants who would like to arrive a couple of days prior to\, and/or to stay beyond\, the gathering to deepen their practice. \nRegistration for the gathering is open (only for initiates). As many of our family members have already confirmed their presence for the gathering\, only limited spots are now remaining. If you would like to join the gathering\, kindly reach out to us soon at ahymsin@gmail.com \nWe lovingly await for the pleasure of your divine presence at the gathering. \nIn service of the Guru Lineage\, \nDivya\, AHYMSIN Office\, \nSwami Rama Sadhaka Grama \n\nEditor’s Note:\nSwami Veda Bharati has often emphasised the ‘Vasudeva Principle’ to the global sangha as 40-days and yearly practices. In 2026\, Swami Ritavan Bharati will give a new sangha practice to the worldwide community\, in line with the ‘Vasudeva Principle’. \nApart from teachings on the theme of the gathering—Vasudeva Principle\, there will be opportunity for personal guidance\, silence\, community and personal fire offerings\, a pilgrimage to an ancient temple\, presentations on SRSG and AHYMSIN activities\, and to attend classes with senior teachers and initiators. \nSpaces for the Sangha Gathering are limited. Kindly reach out to the AHYMSIN Office at ahymsin@gmail.com for more information and to reserve your space for the Gathering.

SUMMARY:Himalayan Yoga Tradition – Teacher Training Program Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Our Himalayan Yoga Tradition – Teacher Training Program (HYT-TTP) offers an integrated program of self-transformation leading to self-realization in the authentic tradition of Swami Rama of the Himalayas. HYT-TTP\, as its parent organization\, AHYMSIN\, is dedicated to making available the teachings of Swami Rama. \nOur program is a systematic\, sadhana-based program. “Sadhana” is a Sanskrit word which means undertaking a practice so as to cultivate and refine one’s character. The main goal of our program is to deepen the students’ sadhana so that they can transmit authentic yoga teachings to others\, not only from a storehouse of academic knowledge\, but also from a depth of personal experience. \nOur comprehensive curriculum offered through home study\, mentoring\, and ashram retreats presents all aspects of yoga and meditation in a spiritually inspiring context. The student’s progression through the home study is managed interactively and facilitated by an active discussion board\, each student being followed and supported by a mentor who is well versed in the tradition. \nThe HYT-TTP consists of 3 levels. Each level requires at least one year of study and practice. The student will progress through three study levels becoming gradually more aware of the subtle layers of personality. Swami Rama defined this growth process as the attainment of some degree of disentanglement from attachments\, allowing one to see that which s/he was previously “blind to”: \n\nLevel One – Awareness: exploration and self-acceptance\nLevel Two – Control: mindfulness and regulation of emotions\nLevel Three – Synthesis: harmonious whole personality\n\nFor more details\, kindly visit – www.HimalayanYogaTradition.com

SUMMARY:Navaratri Retreat – Cultivating the Divine Feminine
DESCRIPTION:During the sacred days of Navaratri (the nine nights)\, we will have Devi-Puja with akhanda (24 hours non-stop) recitation of the Lalita-sahasra-nama (Thousand Names of Divine Mother). One may come and join the daily morning and evening pujas\, join the recitation of the Lalita-sahasra-nama. Twelve priests preside over the pujas and the recitations\, which are offered both at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama and Sadhana Mandir Ashram. \nOur beloved Swami Veda Bharati has said\, “These events are charged with special spiritual energy and a very special time to renew your silence and sadhana.” \nIn this special retreat with Rabindra Sahu\, we will be learning about the principles of the Divine Feminine within the Nature and the entire Universe around us. Swamiji has also reminded us “to bring the feminine kindness\, compassion\, motherliness among all of us. This has nothing to do with the gender of the person undertaking the observance but rather it is for the enhancement of the motherliness in all of us.” \nWe will thereby learn how can we cultivate these divine feminine qualities within ourselves. All the participants will also get an opportunity to practice recitation of the Lalita-sahasra-nama.
