Hari Om Dear Visitor, |
![]() Guru Purnima-1981~ Swami Rama ![]() God bless you. [For all initiates] Today is the greatest day of the entire year called the Guru Purnima Day. The word, Guru, is not used for any particular person or being. It is used for the center of consciousness, for the knowledge. There is only one life force, therefore there is only one Guru from where consciousness flows on various degrees and grades. That is why a human being is called Guru. Those who follow the spiritual tradition faithfully train themselves, practice, and serve others selflessly, love others, and learn to give knowledge to others. They are called spiritual teachers, and such spiritual teachers are also called Guru. This day is not like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or any other day. This day makes us aware of the reality that life has some purpose, and the highest of all purposes is to get freedom here and now. Mother is your first Guru—matru devo bhava—who gives you training in your childhood, and makes you aware of other people in your family. Then comes—pitru devo bhava—a father who makes you aware of your neighborhood, and people around your home. Then you receive education from colleges and universities, environmental education. Yet, you do not know the purpose of life. Read more |
![]() Guru-Purnima Message~ Swami Veda Bharati ![]() Dear fellow wave in the Oceanward river of light, The gravity pull of the earthly dense objects pulls all things downwards. The flame of spirit is pulled in the opposite direction by the Guru’s upwards pull. May you be pulled upwards like a flame. Be a flame of light to all thereafter.. A subtle sound is heard in the ears, an un-nameable flavour is percolated into the taste-buds of the soul. The song that lay asleep in the recesses beyond mind begins to float up and becomes music on the tongue. A touch of lightning into every pore. To those who have washed themselves; to those who have purified; to those who have made sacred their home – the walking, blinking, thinking, feeling home that has been built by the bricks of karma and the mortar of samskaras. The Guru comes to perform a sacred ceremony in this home of yours. Have you truly washed the house clean? Have you spread out the welcome mat? Have you set his seat where he may be offered the five offerings of the senses, that he may consume them and leave you senseless? That from that seat he may speak the inspirations so subtle only the soul without physical ears can hear? For, the Guru is a sight only the soul without physical eyes can see. Read more |

![]() July Celebrations at SRSG~ AHYMSIN Office ![]() July is a special time at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG), as we all come together to celebrate two auspicious events dedicated to the Guru Lineage—our beloved Swami Veda Bharati’s Mahasamadhi (14 July) and the Guru Purnima (the full moon day dedicated to the Guru). At SRSG, Guru Purnima is celebrated with 9-days of pujas, havana, and non-stop recitation of the Shri Guru Gita. The pujas began on 13 July and will continue till the Guru Purnima Day on 21 July. The events from 13 July (Day 1 of the 9-days Guru Purnima Pujas) and 14 July (Mahasamadhi celebrations) were livestreamed on AHYMSIN and SRSG Facebook pages. The Guru Purnima pujas and fire offerings will be livestreamed on Facebook on 21 July beginning at 10 am India time. These sacred days are times for all initiates and students of the Himalayan Tradition to pay our homage to the profound heritage of teachings, guidance, wisdom, and initiation we receive from the Guru Lineage. It is a time to offer our obesiances and express our gratitude for the teachings we have received from the great Himalayan Sages that continue to illuminate our paths towards self-purification and self-realisation.

2024 - Journey with the Teachers of the Himalayan Tradition in KoreaOur journey in 2024 began on May 27 at 6 am with the arrival of Rabindraji from India. In the afternoon, Swami Ritavanji, Yoongji, and Tuetyienji arrived from the retreat in Taiwan. Voluntary service of Younggi, Seokwon, Doori and Kangju Jung allowed us to warmly welcome Teachers. On May 28, we, Hansaji, Dr. Choe, Dr. Lee and some Korean TTP students gathered for lunch with the teachers at the Hansa Yoga Center inside Dr. Choe’s Cardiac Clinic in Wonju. In general, Koreans place a lot of importance on sharing food in relationships. This may not be unique to Koreans, but it can be said to be a bit more unusual. On this particular day, Hansaji’s first Korean TTP student, Myungja Kim who is 83 years old, made vegetarian dumplings with her love. We had a happy time with her, eating her delicious dumplings. ![]() |
