Silence After 2013by Swami Veda BharatiDear Fellow Traveler on the Path of the Sages, This is just to reassure you that after my 5-7 year silence begins
Silence mothers the mind if you know how to be nurtured by her. Our Ashram specializes in the science of silence — yes, it is a methodical science in which you are guided when you come to practice silence at the Ashram. We have programmes for silence lasting 3 days, ten days, 21 days, 40 days — and few rare ones may graduate to 90 days as at least two dozen initiates have done so far (writing in June 2011). Each of these fortunate ones experienced a breakthrough. All who do the practice of silence at the Ashram — either one of our two ashrams — know what a magic touch the place imparts through its vibration. May I invite you to undertake this adventure into the depths of the Ocean of your own Self, and come take a silence retreat. I will be there to serve you, now, and even more so, after my 5-7 year silence begins on 10th March 2013. I await to see you, With a very personal affection in service of Gurudeva, Swami Veda Bharati Editor’s note:30th January 2014 is Mauni Amavasya [Silence Day]. Please see Swamiji’s writing about this at http://ahymsin.org/main/swami-veda-bharati/silence-day.html Start the New Year with a silence retreat at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama. Or celebrate the day wherever you are. You are invited to participate in a group silence retreat guided by Swami Ma Radha Bharati and Swami Prashant Bharati at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama, Rishikesh, India: 20th – 30th January 2014 30th January – 9th February 2014 For either 10 or 20 days. Please plan to arrive a couple of days before the starting date and plan to stay at least one day after the silence retreat. Swami Veda Bharati is in residence at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) in Rishikesh, India. He often sits with sadhakas at SRSG during the silent meditation that is in the daily schedule. SRSG in Rishikesh, India, offers ongoing guest programmes, in the form of individual (or group) spiritual retreats. We aim to individualize our progammes, taking into account the particular areas of interests of our guests, but all newcomers do go through a series of classes that introduce, orient and share the foundation practices and philosophy of the Himalayan Tradition. Every guest can experience one day silence retreat through the weekly ashram official silence day. With the approval of the spiritual director, silence retreats are offered in guided silence periods of 1-10 days, or for those with prior silence experience, 40 days can be arranged. A systematic series of practices is given.
