SUMMARY:International Yoga Day 2026 Hybrid Retreat
DESCRIPTION:An Invitation for a Virtual Sangha Retreat\nOn 21st June 2026 we will celebrate the 12th International Yoga Day. \n \nSince its inception in 2015\, following the proposal of the Prime Minister of India\, Shri Narendra Modi\, International Yoga Day has received immense popularity globally. The resolution was adopted by 175 countries\, reflecting the growing recognition of yoga as a holistic science of living that is both relevant and valuable in the present times. \nOur beloved Swami Veda Bharati was observing a five-year vow of silence at the time\, but he made a rare exception to speak on this important occasion for India’s national television broadcaster\, Doordarshan. You may watch this interview on YouTube. \nAbout the International Yoga Day\, Swami Veda has said\, \n“On such a day\, all those who follow the inner spiritual core of yoga in their quest\, in whichever branch of spiritual yoga\, they need to get together to share their inner experiences\, contemplate on their advancement in the quest\, and be in a mode of deep inner silence. \nOn this day\, let all those who adhere to the ancient systems of yoga as taught by the rishis gather and meditate together. Meditate with body\, mind and spirit.” \nThe day is also marked as Summer Solstice\, the longest day of the year. \nIn the message on the International Yoga Day\, our Spiritual Guide and Ashram Pramukha\, Swami Ritavan Bharati reminded us of the true meaning of yoga as silence and stillness of the inner Self: \n“Yoga unites everybody in silence and meditation. Yoga is a tradition of discovering the inner serene silence. Yoga is not a system of physical movement. It is a system of silence and stillness from which the movement expresses itself. It is the subtle yoga\, not the yoga of the body but the yoga of the inner self.” \nWith these inspirations\, we lovingly invite our AHYMSIN family to come together for an online and in-person program hosted from our spiritual home\, Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) \nIn this two-day hybrid retreat on 20th and 21st June (Saturday and Sunday)\, 2026 we come together in practice\, inspiration\, stillness and meditation. \nSwami Ritavan Bharati shall guide and inspire us into deeper and subtler aspects of yoga\, silence and meditation. \nWe will also be guided by our ashram and international teachers in practice sessions and reflections on yoga philosophy. \nProgram Schedule:  \nAll timing mentioned in Indian Standard Time\, kindly adjust to your local time. Live from SRSG. \nJune 20th\, 2026 – Saturday \n\n5:30 to 7:00 AM IST: Morning Joints and Glands exercises with Ramprakash Das and Pt Deepak\n7:30 to 9:00 PM IST: Living Purposefully – Yoga in Daily Life with Rabindra Sahu\n\nJune 21st\, 2026 – Sunday: International Yoga Day \n\n5:30 to 7:00 AM IST: Stillness in Sun Salutation: Summer Solstice Inspiration and Practice with Pierre Lefebvre (Pt Priyadarshan)\n3:00 to 4:30 PM IST: Ashtanga Yoga: Walking on the Royal Path with John Sellinger\n7:30 to 9:00 PM IST: What Can Yoga Grant: Inspiration and Meditation with Swami Ritavan Bharati\n\nTo join the program please pre-register yourself by signing up this registration form. \nAs seats for these live sessions are limited\, participants shall kindly be accommodated on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nSpecial days such as this serve as loving reminders to renew our commitment to our sadhana and to offer our loving gratitude to the guru lineage. Love offerings as dakshina made in gratitude for the teachings are most welcome. \nFor any queries and further information please write to us at ahymsin@gmail.com

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 2026\, the 40-Day Spiritual Festival will begin on 20th June and will end on 29th 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 – Disciple Relationship
DESCRIPTION:In Honor of our beloved Swami Veda Bharati ji’s Mahasamadhi\n\nॐ 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. \nOn the most special occasion of our beloved founder Mahamandaleshwar Shri Swami Veda Bharati ji’s 11th Mahasamadhi Anniversary (14th July)\, let us come together to pay homage to the Guru Lineage on this special day and to recommit ourselves to the living current of the Guru–Disciple relationship. On the most auspicious day of 14 July 2026\, we will also hold a shraddhanjali and a bhandara in His loving remembrance. \nJoin us for this satsanga with Rabindra Sahu\, as we come together to delve deep into the meaning and significance of the Guru Prayer and the sacred relationship between a Guru and a disciple. \nIn our tradition\, the Mahasamadhi is the Guru’s final blessing—the moment of conscious departure\, when the physical form is shed and the master becomes a pure\, limitless stream of consciousness. From that stream\, the disciple may drink forever. \n“What is a Guru? A magnet. What is a disciple? A few needles.” — Swami Veda Bharati \nOn this sacred occasion of Swamiji’s Mahasamadhi\, let us come as needles to the magnet—not to grasp something new\, but to remember what has never been lost. \n\nRecommended Readings:\n\nBook – Guru Disciple Relationship Vol 1 by Swami Veda Bharati\nBook – Guru Disciple Relationship Vol 2 by Swami Veda Bharati\n\n\nRead More Information:\n\nAbout visiting the ashram – Accommodation\nAbout our other short-term upcoming events – Events\nAbout our ongoing short-term Ashram Immersion Program\nAbout how you may contribute towards the ashram – Donate

SUMMARY:Mahasamadhi Celebrations of Swami Veda Bharati
DESCRIPTION:In loving remembrance of our beloved founder Mahamandaleshwar Sri Swami Veda Bharati (1933- July 14\, 2015)\, we will gather at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram in Rishikesh to honor his luminous life and timeless teachings. \nSwami Veda Bharati ji was a rare Sanskrit scholar and a profound master of meditation\, who dedicated his life to spreading the wisdom of the Himalayan Tradition as taught by Gurudeva HH Swami Rama of the Himalayas across the world. His voice carried the essence of yoga and meditation into diverse cultures\, languages\, and faiths\, reminding us that meditation is the common ground of all religions. \nBorn into a Sanskrit-speaking family and raised in the centuries-old Vedic tradition\, Swami Veda began teaching the Yoga Sutras at the age of nine and the Vedas at eleven. His journey led him to guide meditation groups worldwide\, record thousands of hours of teachings\, and author authoritative commentaries on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras\, along with several other books. He emphasized that yoga is samadhi\, and through his life’s work\, he revealed the universality of yoga as a science beyond boundaries of time\, geography\, and sectarianism. \nAs we commemorate the most auspicious occasion of his 11th Mahasamadhi day\, we invite you to join us in a warm gathering of remembrance and gratitude. Together\, let us celebrate his legacy\, reflect on his teachings\, and renew our commitment to the path of meditation and selfless service. May his light continue to guide us toward inner stillness and universal harmony.

SUMMARY:Breath & Pranayama 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 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\n\n\nRead More Information:\n\nAbout visiting the ashram – Accommodation\nAbout our other short-term upcoming events – Events\nAbout our ongoing short-term Ashram Immersion Program\nAbout how you may contribute towards the ashram – Donate

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 \n\nRead More Information:\n\nAbout visiting the ashram – Accommodation\nAbout our other short-term upcoming events – Events\nAbout our ongoing short-term Ashram Immersion Program\nAbout how you may contribute towards the ashram – Donate

SUMMARY:Mauni Amavasya Silence Retreats
DESCRIPTION:Mauni Amavasya (Silence Day) is an annual observance. The observation of Silence Day is a practice that Swami Veda Bharati invited us to practice. \nIn 2027\, Mauni Amavasya is 6 February. \nThere will be 7-day\, 10-day\, 14-day and 21-day silence retreats at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama\, Rishikesh\, India from 24 January – 13 February 2027. Swami Ritavan Bharati and Adhikari Bhoi will be available to guide the silence participants. \n \nSwami Veda has said\, “…there is also an annual silence day in the traditions of India. It is called Mauni Amavasya. Mauni means ‘of or for silence’\, and amavasya means ‘no-moon day.’ \nIt occurs on the no-moon day of the Maagha month in the Hindu calendar when sun and moon are both supposed to enter the sign of Capricorn (makara rashi). \nIt is held in the tradition as the day when Manu\, the Archetypal Man first appeared on earth; he wedded Shata-roopa (She of a Hundred Beautiful Forms) and generated humankind.” \nAll silence retreats in the Himalayan Tradition are always guided and each participant is interviewed by a silence guide before the retreat may begin. Participants may be guided to follow silence practice for a duration that is most suited for them. Only those seekers who have received mantra initiation within the Himalayan Tradition will be encouraged to follow the entire 21-day silence retreat. \nEveryone is given a silence schedule to follow for the duration of the retreat. These schedules may vary among participants\, depending upon the prerequisites or health issues or other individual factors. You will also be given some articles and handouts to read. \nEveryone’s silence schedule will include the ashram morning and evening meditations\, morning joints and glands class and an afternoon relaxation practice session.  Schedules will also include breathing practices\, contemplative walking and japa. \nArrival and Departure Plans\nYou are strongly advised to arrive on campus two days before your retreat begins in order to rest\, get settled\, take care of any pending business\, get needed supplies etc. This is important. Only with rested body and a relaxed mind will you be able to enter a silent state of mind from the first day. \nYou should also plan to have at least one full day at the ashram at the end of your retreat before you leave or travel anywhere.  This is to allow time for making a gentle transition from silence to everyday life. \nAt the end of your retreat you will have an opportunity to debrief with your silence guide.  The silence guide will also advise you about ways to maintain some silence in everyday life. \n\nRecommended Readings:\n\nBook – Silence Vol 1 by Swami Veda Bharati\nBook – Silence Vol 2 by Swami Veda Bharati\n\n\nRead More Information:\n\nAbout visiting the ashram – Accommodation\nAbout our other short-term upcoming events – Events\nAbout our ongoing short-term Ashram Immersion Program\nAbout how you may contribute towards the ashram – Donate

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 2026\, the 40-Day Spiritual Festival will begin on 20th June and will end on 29th 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 – Disciple Relationship
DESCRIPTION:In Honor of our beloved Swami Veda Bharati ji’s Mahasamadhi\n\nॐ 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 Guru who is the direct experience of Brahman\, salutations. \nOn the most special occasion of our beloved founder Mahamandaleshwar Shri Swami Veda Bharati ji’s 11th Mahasamadhi Anniversary (14th July)\, let us come together to pay homage to the Guru Lineage on this special day and to recommit ourselves to the living current of the Guru–Disciple relationship. On the most auspicious day of 14 July 2026\, we will also hold a shraddhanjali and a bhandara in His loving remembrance. \nJoin us for this satsanga with Rabindra Sahu\, as we come together to delve deep into the meaning and significance of the Guru Prayer and the sacred relationship between a Guru and a disciple. \nIn our tradition\, the Mahasamadhi is the Guru’s final blessing—the moment of conscious departure\, when the physical form is shed and the master becomes a pure\, limitless stream of consciousness. From that stream\, the disciple may drink forever. \n“What is a Guru? A magnet. What is a disciple? A few needles.” — Swami Veda Bharati \nOn this sacred occasion of Swamiji’s Mahasamadhi\, let us come as needles to the magnet—not to grasp something new\, but to remember what has never been lost. \n\nRecommended Readings:\n\nBook – Guru Disciple Relationship Vol 1 by Swami Veda Bharati\nBook – Guru Disciple Relationship Vol 2 by Swami Veda Bharati\n\n\nRead More Information:\n\nAbout visiting the ashram – Accommodation\nAbout our other short-term upcoming events – Events\nAbout our ongoing short-term Ashram Immersion Program\nAbout how you may contribute towards the ashram – Donate

SUMMARY:Mahasamadhi Celebrations of Swami Veda Bharati
DESCRIPTION:In loving remembrance of our beloved founder Mahamandaleshwar Sri Swami Veda Bharati (1933- July 14\, 2015)\, we will gather at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram in Rishikesh to honor his luminous life and timeless teachings. \nSwami Veda Bharati ji was a rare Sanskrit scholar and a profound master of meditation\, who dedicated his life to spreading the wisdom of the Himalayan Tradition as taught by Gurudeva HH Swami Rama of the Himalayas across the world. His voice carried the essence of yoga and meditation into diverse cultures\, languages\, and faiths\, reminding us that meditation is the common ground of all religions. \nBorn into a Sanskrit-speaking family and raised in the centuries-old Vedic tradition\, Swami Veda began teaching the Yoga Sutras at the age of nine and the Vedas at eleven. His journey led him to guide meditation groups worldwide\, record thousands of hours of teachings\, and author authoritative commentaries on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras\, along with several other books. He emphasized that yoga is samadhi\, and through his life’s work\, he revealed the universality of yoga as a science beyond boundaries of time\, geography\, and sectarianism. \nAs we commemorate the most auspicious occasion of his 11th Mahasamadhi day\, we invite you to join us in a warm gathering of remembrance and gratitude. Together\, let us celebrate his legacy\, reflect on his teachings\, and renew our commitment to the path of meditation and selfless service. May his light continue to guide us toward inner stillness and universal harmony.

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. \n\nRead More Information:\n\nAbout visiting the ashram – Accommodation\nAbout our other short-term upcoming events – Events\nAbout our ongoing short-term Ashram Immersion Program\nAbout how you may contribute towards the ashram – Donate
