“Blessings of the Tradition for you and your loved ones, and may you enjoy a gracious New Year.”
– Swami Ritavan Bharati in “A Holiday Blessing”
16th January 2018 is Mauni Amavasya, the annual silence day that Swami Veda encouraged us to practice: “...I would like many of my friends to set aside at least one day to share the silence with me just as you have shared the full moon day for an hour each month for more than a decade now. ...If you plan from now, you can arrange your worldly affairs in such a way that they do not interfere with your one-day vow of silence. On that day, no driving (except for emergencies), no TV, no conversation, just self-observation, contemplation, japa and learning (1) to give love in silence while (2) learning to love silence.” Please see the article “Mauni Amavasya” in this newsletter.
“Silence is such a profound and deep experience of human existence that only when we have understood silence can we understand all the inspiration that has ever flowed to humanity from the minds and mouths of its adults, the great rishis, sages and prophets.”
- Swami Veda Bharati in “Silence.”
 From Himalayan Yoga Publications Trust: Sadhana in Applied Spirituality by Swami Veda Bharati is now available as e-book, please follow the link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0782RSWGJ. Swamiji wrote of this book, “This document is an invitation to constant self-observation, self-examination, self-purification, self-pacification.”
Sunil Trikha, center leader of Himalayan Yoga Meditation Society Ludhiana, reports that the center recently created a new branch, “Himyog Vatika,” to help under-privileged children in areas of their education, hygiene and nutrition. The children are given free education, nutrition and stationery items. Their periodical health check-up is being done by the doctors.
