Four Poems

24 May, 2009 @ 3:48 pm

Guided by my Guru, A Pilgrimage to take, Rugged hills and bustling towns, No impression make, In silence I sit wrapped in shawl, To hand out bananas, Our driver taking one, Here a boarder guard, With expression bland as he looks within, Driver not perturbed - both babble in a foreign tongue

Geeta Anand, Raj’s youngest sister and a resident of SRSG, was at her side during this last period.

For approximately one week the Gurukulum students took a small break from their own classroom studies to partake in some hands on teaching opportunities with young people.

Their mission was to share a bit of the tradition with the youth and children in the community as part of India's National Yoga Awareness Week.

A Parting Reflection from the Korean TTPers

19 March, 2009 @ 11:12 am

Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama is our spiritual home. I had traveled around India before I came here for TTP. When I arrived at Rishikesh, I felt in mother’s lap and all my pains that I got from traveling suddenly disappeared. I have met wonderful teachers and enjoyed every class. Every teaching inspired me with LOVE. It will lead me to be a teacher who shares our Tradition with others lovingly. I have got a lot of energy which I can give with.
