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: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:Ha-tha Yoga as Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the classical yoga literature\, Hatha Yoga is consistently described as the science of utilizing all aspects of one’s personality: body\, breath and mind\, for the purpose of ascending to the heights of Raja Yoga in the experience of one-pointed awareness\, meditation and samadhi. \nUntil the prana enters the middle path [ of the sushumna stream]\,\nUntil the point [of concentration] becomes firm through the control of prana\,\nUntil one’s essence flows naturally and evenly in meditation\,\nTill then all your knowledge [of hatha] is myth\, hypocrisy\, and words. \n(Translated from Svatmarama’s Hatha Yoga Pradipika by Dr Usharbudh Arya in Philosophy of Hatha Yoga\, 1977). \nThis week long seminar will touch on the traditional approach of Hatha Yoga and the subtleties of practice as a pathway towards meditation and inner awareness as taught by Swami Veda Bharati.

SUMMARY:Breath Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“One who has mastered the breath has discovered Superconsciousness.” — Swami Veda Bharati \nWithin the teachings of the Himalayan Tradition of Yoga Meditation\, the practice of breath and pranayama exercises is one of the most important preparations for experiencing the depths of the practice of meditation. \nSwamiji writes\, “Often we see a rush to learn advanced pranayamas. This is being done without training the breath\, without making it slow\, subtle\, deep. In our tradition there are multiple paths and exercises for achieving the full benefits from subtleties of breath.” \nIn the Himalayan Tradition\, preliminary to the practice of pranayama\, an emphasis is placed on correct posture to enable correct diaphragmatic breathing and the subtle elements of breath awareness as taught by the Himalayan sages. Mastery of these serves as a foundation for more advanced pranayamas\, which flow as a continuum into the practices of sense withdrawal\, concentration and meditation. \nThis special retreat with John Sellinger is a unique opportunity to learn the subtleties of breath practices. We will practice pranayamas thrice daily. The programme is open for both complete beginners and practitioners. There will be daily instructional sessions and theory/philosophy sessions about breath and pranayamas. Of greatest importance in the programme is the emphasis on guided personal practice. \n\nRecommended Readings:\n\nScience of Breath by Swami Rama\, Dr. Rudolph Ballentine\, and Dr. Alan Hymes.\nA Practical Guide to Holistic Health by Swami Rama\n Meditation and Its Practice by Swami Rama\nPath of Fire and Light (Vol. 2) by Swami Rama\nYogic Practices of the Himalayan Tradition as taught by H.H. Swami Rama of the Himalayas by Dr. Prakash Keshaviah\nWhat Really Is Pranayama? by Swami Veda Bharati\nDiaphragmatic Breathing by Swami Veda Bharati\n14 Breath and Meditation Practices by Swami Veda Bharati

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.

SUMMARY:Himalayan Yoga Meditation Retreat in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Bondage Or Freedom – The Source of True Power\n“How do we bind ourselves\, and how do we set ourselves free?”  To inquire these themes\, to awaken the light within and move beyond the ignorance that veils our true nature\, true knowledge of the Self is essential.  This retreat offers a space to explore the essence of freedom through self-inquiry and an awakening to our divine nature.  It supports you in making conscious choices to shape your life with clarity and purpose.\n\nWe are honored to welcome Rabindra Sahu from Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram in Rishikesh\, India\, as our teacher and spiritual guide.  Amid the vast and nurturing nature of Mt. Yatsugatake\, come home—to nature\, and to yourself.  Whether you are new to yoga and meditation or have been practicing for many years\, all are warmly welcome.  We look forward to sharing this journey with you.  \n\n“We think we sleep when we close our eyes at night\, but we are asleep because we have closed our eyes to that which is our own true essence.  People look for God in places of pilgrimage\, in churches\, in temples\, in cathedrals\, in forms and they do not look for that presence which is within you and in some ways identical with you.  The one whose ray you are is called God\, that very life force\, that very force\, that is consciousness\, that light you are.  Learn to call forth the power from within you\, learn to call forth the power.  And as you learn to call forth the power you will find that even the loss of purity doesn’t apply to you.” \n~ Swami Veda\, Bondage Or Freedom \nContact: ahymsin.jp@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Shakti – the Subtle Force of the Divine Feminine - Online Workshop
DESCRIPTION:As part of the initiatives dedicated to the celebration of the centenary of Swami Rama’s birthday\, the Himalayan Yoga Institute of Florence organizes an online workshop with Rabindra Sahu dedicated to the sacred theme of the “Divine Feminine”\, in Nature and in the entire Universe around us. \nSwami Rama often said that without shakti\, without the feminine Power\, it is not possible for humankind to survive. \nRegardless of gender\, the Divine Feminine is a welcoming\, nurturing\, and transformative force of kindness\, compassion\, and love that each of us should learn to cultivate within. \nSwami Veda Bharati said: “[…] What is important is cultivating the qualities of the hidden essences within yourself and cultivating them without fear. […]” (Cultivating the Feminine in the Male) \n“[…] Be not hard like a rock. Be strong like water that grinds down the hardest rock into grains of sand. Learn the way of water that is woman. […]” ( unpublished sayings  by Swami Veda Bharati). \nThis workshop will be a precious opportunity to contemplate and rediscover a non-physical force – the strength and power of shakti – that resides within each of us\, which will help us become more balanced people and build a kinder society. \nRabindra Sahu\, trained in the Himalayan Yoga and Meditation Tradition\, serves as General Manager at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) ashram in Rishikesh\, where he teaches and leads the Gurukulam. A student of Swami Veda Bharati\, Rabindra emphasizes the importance of understanding the teachings through direct experience. \nRegistration required. \nFor more information\, kindly write to segreteria@himalayanyogainstitute.it

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
