Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hari OM everyone! I am back from a vacation, I hope everyone is well and happy, its great to see the group being alive! I had the great opportunity to visit the satyananda ashram in Athens, Greece and the yoga center several times. It was a wonderful experience. The program had satsang with SwamiJi (Swami Sivamurti Saraswati, a disciple of Swami Satyananda Saraswati of Bihar, who founded the ashram in Athens) and various yogic workshops such as Nada Yoga, Guided Yoga Nidra, Lecture on Nava Ratri, Yoga and the Mind, Hatha Yoga, Kriya Yoga etc. The atmosphere in the ashram was very peaceful and indeed beautiful as it is situated in a place on the countryside. I was impressed by a place where there was a homa pit and some blue peacocks wondering around. I believe such places are sources of spirituality and serve a wonderful purpose both for sannyasis and normal people. It surely boosts our sadhana to be in places filled with positive energy. Now, I witnessed a very nice incident and I would like to share it with you. One sadhaka brought her baby(one month old) to SwamiJi. SwamiJi held it in her arms for sometime. Then she said its time that the baby received its first mantra and she wispered a mantra to its ear. What a lucky baby I say! I took some notes on Navaratri Anushtana as per Swami Niranjananda Saraswati and I hope I ll be able to post them in my next posting.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 HI Angie Lucky you for getting the opportunity to go off for a wonderful trip. Can you share with us more about this school of yoga? I wonder if there are any specific differences from the other schools, special those of his Guru bhais, Swami Satchinanda and Sivananda school of yoga. _/\_ Tat twam asi Uma , "Angela" <oiokasti@h...> wrote: > > Hari OM everyone! > > I am back from a vacation, I hope everyone is well and happy, its > great to see the group being alive! > > I had the great opportunity to visit the satyananda ashram in Athens, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
