My First Diwali at Ashram

12 November, 2024 @ 12:04 pm

We arrived the day before Deepawali at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama ashram, our spiritual home, where we are always welcomed with open arms, understanding, and pure, open hearts. Every journey we make here feels like coming home, perhaps because this is our true spiritual home, the home of our Gurus.

Navaratri: Nine Forms of the Divine Mother

15 October, 2024 @ 5:04 pm

The most sacred nine nights of the Navaratri (‘nava’ meaning ‘nine’ and ‘ratri’ meaning ‘night’) remind us of the spirit of the Mother Divine, the Mother of the entire cosmos. She is Shakti Herself, the one who infuses our days with a fresh and warm radiance, and adds a depth of silence to our nights. She is the most Divine, the most Pure, the most Sacred, the most Wise one. She is the One who gives birth to the entire universe and the One who breathes life force into each one of us. As our beloved Swami Veda Bharati has said,

Let People Know Us by How We Love

14 September, 2024 @ 7:03 pm

A new big circle, a new big party: thus ended the fourth year of the Italian TTP, in the presence of Ashutosh. “Cultivating our selfless love and compassion for other beings is the most important thing we can do. Even Jesus said it to his disciples: Let people know us by how we love”. “Let people know us by how we love them in teaching”, “This is just the beginning of our sadhana! Bringing the heart of this lineage to all people, bringing it out, is the most beautiful thing we can do!”. (Stoma ji, connected from Minneapolis, opening the final sharing of the Italian TTP).

14 September, 2024 @ 6:34 pm

On Guruwar, our Acharaya and teachers surprised us by taking us on a pilgrimage to the Akshardham temple. We silently embarked on a four-hour long journey, listening to soothing chants and occasionally sharing inspiring stories along the way. Greeted by rain and welcomed by traffic, but nothing could dampen our pilgrim spirit. As we arrived at the magnificent temple and stepped through one of the ten gates, each of us was enthralled and marveled at the sheer beauty of the temple with its central majestic sanctuary and embracing arcades.

The second year of the Ahymsin Family Summer Camp is already completed with great joy of all of us. This time we can call it a European gathering, as most of the participants were from Hungary, the Netherlands, Italy, and Greece. It was really a beautiful meeting of people of different ages, from one year old to almost 80 years old. The central theme we worked on was “We are all one, nobody is alone”, as is stated by our Gurus, and in many ways united by our dreams and our purpose in life. To evolve not only respecting our material part but evolving in the spiritual realm.
