– Swami Veda Bharati

Three years ago, February 2007, Swamiji called the global Guru family to gather  at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama, so we could meet one another and learn from one another becoming a community strengthening  each member.   What a richness we share!

The Association of Himalayan Yoga Meditation Societies International (AHYMSIN) was officially formed with the passing of a constitution and the election of officers.

A three year practice of the Ityukta mantra was started, and Swamiji began guiding us towards stabilization of the spiritual mind-field.

“If the individual minds are not stabilized, the individual lives do not become stabilized.

“If there are instabilities in life, they are so, not because your circumstances are unstable, but because your minds are unstable. With a stable mind, you can stabilize all external circumstances.

“So the chain is as follows:

• When you stabilize your personal mind,

• your personal lives become stabilized.

• People thus stabilized become part of a larger mind-field,

• a mind-field thus stabilized is called an organization or a sangha.

“Let us use the word sangha, for it is a term used for a spiritually-oriented community.  You are all aspiring and part of this global network of spirituality in the Tradition.”

– Swami Veda

We invite you to reread “Mind Field: The Playground of Gods.” at https://www.ahymsin.org/main/index.php/Swami-Veda-Bharati/mind-field.html

Now we will come together again for the purnahuti of the 3 year practice of the Ityukta mantra, AHYMSIN meetings and elections, introduction of new practices, silence, contemplation and more.

Once more we rejoice in the community that is with us always even when we are not aware of it, the rejoicing reaching into the centers worldwide and through the sangha worldwide.
