Please do not miss news from Ahymsin Board Meeting: March 2017 (#3 below) as there is an invite from Swami Ritavan Bharati within the article.

Navaratri Puja - 9 sacred days dedicated to Divine Mother with non-stop recitations of the thousand names of Divine Mother - is taking place at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) at this time. Swami Veda wrote of these days, “These events are charged with special spiritual energy and a very special time to renew your silence and sadhana.” There will be an autumn Navaratri Puja at SRSG 21 – 29 September 2017.

For Initiates: There will be a retreat 9th - 15th April 2017 at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG). "You have...received mantra-diksha. Now the question remains: WHAT after mantra? How to refine it; where to go further? There is always need for (a) refreshing, (b) refining to subtler levels and (c) learning the next steps." - Swami Veda Bharati. There will also be a retreat for initiates 15th - 21st October 2017. For more information: ahymsin@ahymsin.org

For Families and Youth: “All parents like to have their children grow up with spiritual values but do not always have the opportunity to make their wish fulfilled,” Swami Veda wrote when he invited parents to bring their children to the yoga youth and children’s retreats at SRSG. That invitation continues with Swami Ritavan. These are times of “inspiration, laughter and fun.” There will be an International Yoga Youth and Children's Retreat 24th - 30th December 2017 at SRSG. Contact childrensretreat@gmail.com.

The Vasudeva Principle: Michael Smith, a senior teacher and mentor in our tradition, has been sharing writings about “The Vasudeva Principle.”

A Tribute: Dr. Krishan Upreti, manager of SRSG, reports, “Yoga seekers… from different parts of the world paid tribute to Mahamandaleshwar Swami Veda Bharatiji Maharaj, Swami Dayananda Saraswatiji Maharaj and B.K.S Iyengerji on the occasion of the International Yoga Week (1-7 March 2017) at Rishikesh…”
