SUMMARY:The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Programme description:\nSwami Veda Bharati has been one of the highest level world class exponents of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in the late 20th and early 21st centuries This seminar will continue Swamiji’s tradition and legacy of interpreting from the point of view of a practitioner this most unique text which codified and systematized yoga philosophy. With several segments of this seminar held in the next few years in the month of February\, the emphasis of this first seminar will be the overview of the text\, including its different chapters\, sections and topics\, as well as the foundational principles of Sankhya philosophy\, which are mandatory to master to get entry into the deeper meanings of the sutras. The first chapter\, Samadhi Pada\, will also be covered in detail along with the most important points from Sage Vyasa’s commentary. \nA special emphasis will be put on the language and the deeper layers of meanings from the Sanskrit verb roots\, prefixes and suffixes hidden in the terminology\, as Swami Veda often emphasised\, sharing the keys from the language with which we can help unlocking the real meaning of the text. \nFaculty:\nSwami Ritavan Bharati\, Dr. Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, Michael Kissener\, and others. \nPre-requisites:\nPrevious study of Swami Veda’s audio lectures on the Yoga Sutras and Sankhya Philosophy is recommended.

SUMMARY:Six-day Retreat: Superconscious Meditation – Level One
DESCRIPTION:Programme description:\nThis 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: “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. Meditation will give you the capacity to improve your health\, your relationships and the skilfulness with which you perform your activities. This is because meditation can do something no other technique can accomplish – it introduces you to yourself on all levels and finally leads you to the center of consciousness within\, the higher self\, which is called Atman.” \nFaculty:\nSRSG ashram resident faculty \nContact:\nahymsin@ahymsin.org

SUMMARY:2018 Yoga and Martial Arts Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Programme description:\nSwami Veda Bharati has been one of the highest level world class exponents of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in the late 20th and early 21st centuries This seminar will continue Swamiji’s tradition and legacy of interpreting from the point of view of a practitioner this most unique text which codified and systematized yoga philosophy. With several segments of this seminar held in the next few years in the month of February\, the emphasis of this first seminar will be the overview of the text\, including its different chapters\, sections and topics\, as well as the foundational principles of Sankhya philosophy\, which are mandatory to master to get entry into the deeper meanings of the sutras. The first chapter\, Samadhi Pada\, will also be covered in detail along with the most important points from Sage Vyasa’s commentary. \nA special emphasis will be put on the language and the deeper layers of meanings from the Sanskrit verb roots\, prefixes and suffixes hidden in the terminology\, as Swami Veda often emphasised\, sharing the keys from the language with which we can help unlocking the real meaning of the text. \nFaculty:\nSwami Ritavan Bharati\, Dr. Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, Michael Kissener\, and others. \nPre-requisites:\nPrevious study of Swami Veda’s audio lectures on the Yoga Sutras and Sankhya Philosophy is recommended.

SUMMARY:Initiates Retreat October 2018
DESCRIPTION:Special Initiates Retreat – Bhakti and Loving Meditations – October 10-18\, 2018\, at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) in Rishikesh\, India.\nThose of us who have experienced the infinite love and grace of the Himalayan Masters\, of the Guru Lineage through the sacred mantra diksha (Initiation) were blessed with the mantra seed having been sown deep within. When nurtured lovingly\, this mantra seed develops into a tree of spirituality within. The Initiates Retreat has been especially designed to show us exactly how to thus nurture the mantra seed. \nAs Swami Veda has said with regards to the initiate retreat\, “You have been a guest at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, perhaps once\, perhaps many times\, and have had basic lessons in sitting and breathing etc… You have also received mantra-diksha. Now the question remains: WHAT after mantra? How to refine it; where to go further? There is always need for (a) refreshing\, (b) refining to subtler levels and (c) learning the next steps.” \nThis year’s Initiate Retreat will be during the 9 sacred days dedicated to the Mother Divine\, during Navaratri\, during October 10-18\, 2018\, at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG). We will have non-stop recitation of the 1000 names of the Mother Divine (akhanda japa of the Lalita-sahasra-nama). Navratri is indeed a special time to renew one’s commitment to their sadhana and spiritual life. \nSwami Ritavan Bharati has given the theme of “Bhakti and Loving Meditations” for this special initiates retreat. \nGurudeva Swami Rama has written in his book – Choosing a Path: \n“Bhakti yoga is known as the path of love and devotion. It is the path of self-surrender and dedication of all one’s resources to attain the ultimate Reality. In this path love becomes the Lord of life and motivates the whole being toward Divinity alone. The path of bhakti yoga is the path of love.” (p. 55) \n“In the path of bhakti one of the easiest practices is to remember God’s name—a mantra or a word—constantly. Ajapa Japa\, remembering God’s name constantly\, becomes a part of life and makes one aware of the Lord all the time. Constant remembrance makes a deep groove in the unconscious mind\, for the unconscious mind is actually the seat of habit formation. Once the habit is formed\, then it becomes part of individual life. Ajapa japa is that state of remembering God’s name in which a devotee does all his duties\, yet remembers God all the time\, even during sleep. It is an effortless way of remembering God\, but a constant and long practice of japa is necessary.” (p. 67) \n“In bhakti yoga\, many students use an idol\, an image\, or a statue of a spiritual guide because their minds cannot fathom the attributeless aspect of the Lord. This way of ritual\, or puja\, that they perform helps to make the mind one-pointed and inward. The scriptures explain that there are two level of devotion—devotion for the attributeless\, and devotion with attributes (nirguna and saguna). It is not easy for a student to attain nirguna bhava¸or mood\, and it takes a long time for the student to attain nirguna bhakti. The human mind is accustomed to leaning on certain forms or names. It cannot conceive of and is not able to fathom the unfathomable—the attributeless. Therefore\, very few attain nirguna bhakti\, but saguna bhakti seems to be very easy and pleasing to the students of this path.” (p. 68) \nSwami Veda talking about Loving Meditations said\, “Now there is obviously two translations of this phrase. Loving your meditation\, to love your meditation. That’s one thing and the other is loving meditations. Meditations in which love is important. Both are two sides of the same coin.” \nSwami Veda here adds\, “Meditate silently and meditate lovingly and here love and silence are one and the same because when you pacify the tumultuous noises of the mind that is silence. When you quite the tumultuous noises of the mind that is silence. When you pacify tumultuously destructive emotions that is love. The two are one in the same and if you go from here with a renewed commitment. Commitment to your own spirituality\, commitment to loving the community of disciples\, commitment to helping others through what you receive here.” \nOur beloved Swami Veda has also blessed us with the reminder that “…I wish to assure you that those who are initiated in our Tradition do remain thus enwombed. May these foetuses grow to full maturity of liberation.” \nIf you would like to take part in this special retreat to deepen your own sadhana or are inspired to learn more about the same\, kindly write to us at ahymsin@ahymsin.org. \n\nEditor’s Note: \n  \nRaghavendra Adiga will be guiding this retreat.  Raghavendra is a mantra initiator and a member of the AHYMSIN Adhyatma Samiti\, or Spiritual Committee. He is also the centre leader of Himalayan Centre for Yoga Meditation\, Tumkur\, Karnataka\, India.

SUMMARY:Silence Retreats in 2018
DESCRIPTION:We have scheduled three silence retreats in 2018 in celebration of the finale of Swami Veda’s 5-year Mauna Vrata (silence vow)\, which was taken March 10\, 2013. The continuity has been maintained here at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) and through various individuals who Swamiji blessed with the same/or similar vow at the 2013 Sangha Gathering. We are planning now for the silence as 40-day\, 21-day or 7-day retreats. More will be said on the silence vow and what it means. \nThe purnahuti for Swami Veda’s 5-year Mauna Vrata will be March 10\, 2018. \nThe silence retreat dates would be: \n7 day retreat – March 4-10\, 2018\n25 day retreat – February 14 – March 10\, 2018\n40 day retreat – January 29 – March 10\, 2018 \nwith silence ending at the close of the Purnahuti Yajna on the 10th \nPlease plan to arrive a couple of days before the starting date and plan to stay at least one day after the silence retreat. This is with approval of the silence guide. Approval may be contingent upon prior systematic silence practice and/or experience in the silence practices of the Himalayan Tradition. \nContact: ahymsin@ahymsin.org
