2022-11-11 11:30 - 2022-11-18 20:30 | Yoga Vidya Meinberg, Yogaweg 7, Horn-Bad Meinberg, Germany
All die modernen Krankheiten unserer Gesellschaft wurzeln im Geist. Prana stellt eine Brücke zwischen Körper und Geist dar. Dort ist das menschliche Immunsystem zu Hause. Es ist unmöglich, das menschliche Leiden vollständig zu beenden ohne Kenntnisse über Prana und Geist zu haben. Das Wissen über Prana ist unerlässlich, um ein umfassenderes Bild über den menschlichen Geist zu erlangen. Diese Weiterbildung erklärt alles über Prana, die Theorie hinter Pranayama und der Prana Lenkung, sowohl aus spiritueller als auch aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht.
Wir werden über verschiedene Pranayama mit ihren therapeutischen Aspekten sprechen und natürlich auch praktisch üben. Du wirst lernen, die Prana Lenkung zu unterrichten – eine spezielle Technik aus der Yoga Therapie, um unser Prana zu lenken und zu harmonisieren. Zusätzlich werden verschiedene Mudras vorgestellt, die in der Pranayama Praxis nützlich sind. Und wir befassen uns mit der Rolle unserer Samskaras und des Unterbewusstseins.

Mind and Meditation (in-person and online)
2022-10-11 06:00 - 2022-11-08 07:30
with Harilalji (founder and chief yoga therapist at Arsha Yoga) in Malayalam

at Arsha Yoga Gurukulam or online via ZOOM

8 days course on Tuesdays and Fridays 6-7:30am: October 11,14, 18,21, 25,28 and November 4,8.

This 8 days course offers a comprised knowledge about the human mind and its connection with the material world, our body and soul. It deals briefly with the knowledge spread over many Vedic scriptures of ancient India. As the Mind itself is an instrument of endless information and knowledge, even the Encyclopaedia Britannica would have not been sufficient in describing it and its functions. But what we can cover in 8 days is an insight into the mysteries of the mind that Rishis (the wisemen) were able to see and describe. The knowledge of mind is present in all aspects of life – yoga, ayurveda, music, dance, rituals, economics, social life or politics – and all such disciplines deal with the concept of mind only. This course is an attempt to collect this dissipated knowledge about mind and put it into a structure which is understandable for the modern mind. The objective of this course is not to compare yoga and western psychology and point out the differences but rather to present yoga psychology as a complete functional psychological approach. Suitable for any levels with basic yoga experience.

Sakti Sadhana – A spiritual practice for women to reconnect with your inborn feminine power

When I completed my yoga teacher’s training in 2006 at Yoga Vidya Speyer, asana, pranayama and relaxation – classical yogic practices – were perfect for balancing my physical, emotional and mental state. Only after entering into married life, moving to India (sometimes it feels like to a different planet) and especially after the birth of my daughter, I felt I needed something more in my practice. I started looking for a deeper fulfilment in all my roles as wife, mother, daughter and mainly as a woman. As usual with more experience in Yoga, I experimented with adapting my Yoga practice to all physical, emotional and mental changes that are present throughout the month. Instead of neglecting these changes like I did before, I started seeing them as a boon or siddhis (powers) that I could use for different tasks and situations. Once I started living in connection with my monthly cycle, I also started feeling a deeper connection not only with myself and my female energies, but also with other women in my life and even my female ancestors. Thanks to this recognition, I started to act more compassionately and kindly with myself and others. I found that ambition, efficiency, consumerism and goal orientation – source of happiness as per the modern society – became insignificant and qualities such as care, nurturing, gentleness, timelessness, flow yet firmness and power started prevailing.
In this course, I would like to gently guide other women back to their connection with their inborn feminine nature, back to the power that each of us has inside. By reconnecting to our divine feminine nature, we create a safe space where old wounds may heal, where contradicting feelings and emotions may coexist, where old can be released and something new and magical created.
Sakti Sadhana – spiritual practice for women consists of 5 main pillars: mantra, mudra, bhakti, saṇgha and yoga nidrā.
Mantra: those of you who know me closer, know, that mantra belongs to my daily practice. I use kirtan to open and feel my heart. I use vedic mantras to strengthen the masculine aspect and discipline.
Yoga Nidra: we practice yoga nidras that correspond to the different cycles in a woman’s life such as cyclic wisdom, pregnancy, birth, menopause, post-menopause including thematic visualisations under the guidance of the daśa mahāvidyā – the 10 tantric goddesses.
Mudra: we use different mudras, hand gestures and symbolic postures of the body to channalise prana, our life force and connect to our soul.
Bhakti: bhakti, the path of devotion is natural to a woman as an emotional human being and the easiest of all yoga path to connect with. We connect to our spiritual heart, who is HER, our inner teacher.
Sangha: sangha means in Sanskrit community or company and in our context, the concept of sisterhood. When a community, a circle of like- minded women come together, just like it has been a tradition in many cultures for thousands of years, old wounds find a safe space to heal and life stories may be expressed and are heard with an open heart and without judgement or competition.

This is a 90 min drop-in class, but over time we will form a stable group to progress on our journey. The class will take place on Saturdays at 7:30am CET. Registration here. Booking of each class 1 day prior to the class via our Sakti Sadhana whattsapp group. For the correct calculation of your corresponding timezone: www.timeanddate.com

Testimonials:
Shakti Sadhana is like coming home.
If you are open for something new following your instincts (6th sense or now better saying your heart): something wonderful can start to happen. Over a number of classes practicing soft and mindful asanas, mudras and yoga Nidra I started, feeling my heart, feeling my heart breathing and and how it’s getting connected with my womb. I never thought about being different by being a woman – I felt being a human being, being my self in a suitable female body… This did not change during my motherhood and not during the number of years practicing Hatha yoga. And now the change has begun.
The way Meera teaches the shakti yoga practices immediately touched my self / my heart – I always feel like coming home. Coming home to my female SELF. Meera teaches her Yoga and Shakti wisdom along with a deep understanding of the western and as well Indian world into the whole world along with Asanas, Mudras and Yoga Nidra. It is an international class (thanks to Zoom, a video conferencing technology) with wonderful other ladies from different cultures and countries. I can feel the power of women being connected all over the world.
Thank you Meera

Śiva - Śakti aneb Malá Indie na statku
2022-07-22 21:30 - 2022-07-24 17:30 | Permafarma Veselice, Veselice, Czech Republic

s Marií Meerou, Hariláldžím a Gayatri Karanath
Cena: 4.900 kč (včetně plné penze, ubytování a všech lekcí)
Jako Češka, lektorka jógy žijící v Indii, jsem se už letos v zimě v Indii rozhodla, že bych uspořádala retreat v létě v ČR, kam se pravidelně vracím, a vnesla trochu indické vůně masaly mezi české pampelišky.

Ráda bych vám představila to nejdůležitější, co mě Mother India naučila. Budeme jógovat nejenom na podložkách, recitovat mantry, zpívat kirtan (neboť v tom je obrovský rozdíl), povídat si o Indii a podíváme se i pod pokličku společenských konvencí, které se odlišují od těch českých, od splachování záchoda až po přístup ke smrti. To vše bude podpořeno lahodným vegetariánským jídlem vařeném s láskou v klidném zázemí permafarmy Jagava ve Veselici u Mladé Boleslavi. Vzhledem k duchovní náplni pobytu s cílem odpočinout si budeme před ranní praxí a po večerním satsangu držet maunu (nebudeme mluvit) a i po zbytek pobytu doporučujeme komunikaci, hlavně tu mobilní a internetovou, omezit jen na to nejnutnější.

Odpovědi na životní hledání vám zodpoví Hariláldží a program vám zpestří naše živá, vždy nadšená a veselá Gayatri.

Zázemí pobytu:
Na tomhle krásném a prostém místě, Permafarmě Jagava ve Veselicích, které dýchá čistotou, jsem minulý rok absolvovala kurz pro doprovázení umírajících a hned mě napadlo tady někdy uspořádat retreat.

Ubytování je součástí kreativního centra a záměr je poskytnout komfortní zázemí hotelové typu pro účastníky všech akcí, které se v kreativním centru konají, zájemce o poznání života na farmě nebo turisty, kteří chtějí poznat především Český ráj a jeho okolí.

O mně:
Od základního učitelského výcviku uplynula už řádka let a s těmi roky se proměnil i můj způsob výuky i osobní praxe. Od přesného, dalo by se říci částečně rigidního, vykonávaní pozic, se moje praxe a tím i výuka přesunula spíše do pocitu flow, měkkosti, tekutosti a energetiky, zároveň však při zachování pevné formy a hranic. Šnečím tempem jsem došla k závěru, který však vůbec nemusí být konečný, že život se skládá z protikladů, které se neustále proměňují. Nic není konečné, ale znovu začínající. A je to pouze o tom, najít si v tom tu svoji rovnováhu.

Exklusiv vor Ort

Deutsch-Englisch-Mix und vor allem mit der Sprache des Herzens
Als ich 2006 meine Yogalehrerausbildung machte, waren Asana, Pranayama und Entspannung – klassische Yogapraktiken – ausreichend für mein körperliches, emotionales und mentales Gleichgewicht. Erst nach dem Eintritt ins Eheleben, dem Umzug nach Indien (manchmal fühlt es sich an wie auf einen anderen Planeten) und vor allem nach der Geburt meiner Tochter begann ich nach etwas zu suchen, das meine weibliche Persönlichkeit als Ehefrau, Mutter, Tochter und vor allem als Frau auf allen Ebenen nährt. Etwas, das mir hilft, mich besser auf die körperlichen, emotionalen und mentalen Veränderungen einzustellen, die den ganzen Monat über vorhanden sind. Anstatt sie wie zuvor zu vernachlässigen, fing ich an, sie als Segen oder Siddhis (Superkräfte) zu sehen, die ich für verschiedene Aufgaben und Situationen nutzen konnte.
Als ich anfing, in Verbindung mit dem natürlichen Monatszyklus zu leben, begann ich auch, eine tiefere Verbindung nicht nur mit mir selbst und meinen weiblichen Energien zu spüren, sondern auch mit anderen Frauen in meinem Leben und sogar mit meinen weiblichen Vorfahren. Das alles anerkennend fing ich an, mitfühlender und freundlicher mit mir selbst und anderen zu sein. Ich habe Selbstliebe entdeckt. Ich stellte fest, dass Ehrgeiz, Effizienz, Konsumdenken und Zielorientierung – Quelle des Glücks in der modernen Gesellschaft – unbedeutend wurden und Qualitäten wie Fürsorge, Nährung, Sanftheit genauso wie Festigkeit und Kraft begannen, sich durchzusetzen.
In diesem Workshop möchte ich andere Frauen sanft zurück zur Verbindung mit der ursprünglichen weiblichen Natur führen, zurück zu ihrer Kraft, die jede von uns in sich trägt. Indem wir uns wieder mit unserer göttlichen weiblichen Natur verbinden, schaffen wir einen sicheren Raum, in dem alte Wunden heilen können, wo widersprüchliche Gefühle und Emotionen koexistieren können, wo Altes losgelassen werden kann und etwas Neues und Magisches entstehen kann. Wir werden singen, wir werden tanzen, wir werden teilen, wir werden uns ausruhen, wir werden kreieren. Keine Erwartungen zu erfüllen. Keine Fristen einzuhalten. Schwester, du bist willkommen wie du bist!

Světlo a stín tantrických bohyň
2022-05-01 21:30 - 2022-06-16 00:00
1.5 – 15.6. 2022 18 – 20:30 hod
Kroftova 14, Praha 5
Na své cestě ke spiritualitě jsem “vyzkoušela” už ledacos a za celou cestu jsem vděčná: s jógou jsem začínala pod taktovkou tradice Šivánanda jógy, která je velice precizní, a teď už si troufám říct, orientovaná na mužská těla a jeho potřeby, přes jógovou terapii a jin jógu až k šaktické tantře. Ne že bych byla nějaký znalec, avšak mé ženské tělo a potřeby s ním spojené, emoce a cykličnost mi udávaly jasný směr.
A proč tantra a její učení? (prosím, rozumějte tantru, která nemá nic společného se sexem. Tedy alespoň co se týče tantry často zmiňované v jejím západním pojetí.) Tantra, na rozdíl od jógy, mi nabídla práci s fyzickým tělem jako posvátným chrámem, energetikou a symbolikou. Tyto 3 oblasti vnímám osobně jako základní vztahové body celku a celistvosti, a to především pro ženy.
Tyto všechny tři oblasti jsou obsaženy a vyobrazeny v 10 tantrických bohyních: Daśa Mahāvidyā. V sérii 4 společných setkání se postupně seznámíme s Kálí, Tárou, Bhuvaneśvarí a Dhumávatí. Budeme si povídat o jejich stínu a světle a postupné transformaci mezi nimi, které nejsou ničím jiným než odrazem našich vlastních vnitřních procesů. V rámci každého ze setkání budeme pracovat s mantrou, meditací, mytologickým příběhem a jinými technikami, abychom se mohly/i spojit s tím daným aspektem v nás. Budeme se bavit o 3 vlastnostech ve vesmíru (triguna) a yama/niyama, které tyto bohyně přestavují.
I když se může zdát, že praxe je velice specifická a třeba i náročná, co se týče znalostí tohoto učení, tantra je velice praktická a žádné předchozí znalosti nejsou podmínkou účasti. Přesto ale musím přiznat, že to často není žádná “rozcvička” nebo “procházka růžovým sadem“, jelikož se jedná o hlubinnou práci se stínem. Alespoň během celého kurzu, a ještě lépe alespoň týden před začátkem, bych vás ráda chtěla pobídnout k lehké vegetariánské stravě, vynechat alkohol, omezit kávu a pohlížet na tento kurz jako na vaši osobní sádhanu (duchovní praxi), která pokud má být účinná, vyžaduje určitou disciplínu a fokus.
Osobně preferuji, aby jste se hlásili/y na všechna 4 setkání zároveň, jelikož mezi jednotlivými setkáními existuje určitá vztahovost, ale zároveň mám pochopení pro to, když stihnete jenom jedno nebo dvě.
Termíny:
Kālī: neděle 1.5. 18 – 20:30 hod
Tārā: středa 18.5. 18 – 20:30 hod
Bhuvaneśvarī: středa 1.6. 18 – 20:30 hod

O mně:
Narodila jsem se v Praze, a i když žiji už 12 let v Indii, stále jsem tělem i duší Češka. V Německu jsem vystudovala překladatelství a odtud se prostorově přesunula trochu dál. Před šetnácti lety jsem absolvovala první výcvik v józe, na který jsem navázala studiem jógové terapie, a při němž jsem se také seznámila s jedním ze svých učitelů, svým pozdějším manželem. Spolu máme dceru Gayatri. Společně jsme založili charitativní organizaci Arsha Yoga Gurukulam v jižní Indii, která se jógu snaží přiblížit sociálně slabým. Moje jógová cesta a cesta za (sebe)poznáním mě vedla přes tradiční Šivánanda jógu, jógovou terapii, jin jógu až po ženskou práci v rámci ženských kruhů a šakti tantře.

SAKTI RISING - Spiritual Retreat for Women
2022-01-12 - 2022-01-16 | Arsha Yoga, Next to Anganvadi, Edasheri beach south, Thrissur, Kerala, 680569, India
Śiva and Śakti
The main cosmic principle is the principle of antipodes: light and shadow, good and evil, activity and lethargy, yin and yang and also man and woman. One loses its existence in the absence of the other and one becomes complete in case of integration of both. Balancing of these opposites is yoga.
Modern times lead us to extremism: either this or that and nothing in between. When I want to build a career, I forget my female role as a caregiver and protector of the family fireplace.
Or: if I want to be a woman, I can’t fully live my skills. However, being a woman and especially feeling like a woman does not depend so much on external circumstances as on examining and mapping her inner feminine landscape and securing her inner needs, and it is always primarily a matter of harmony and balance.
We spend 5 days together in a greater women’s circle of deep nurture and care without judgement and with an open welcoming heart. We take retreat from our daily activities and dive deep into our nourishing feminine nature. We give our loving attention mainly to the area of the heart and pelvis, the center of intuition and the source of creativity.
What to expect?
Daily yoga practice including asanas, pranayama, meditation and chanting. Trip to the famous Sri Krishna temple in Guruvayur and morning boating in the serene atmosphere of the Kerala backwaters. Ayurvedic food and free time for reading, swimming and relaxing walks on the beach.
Daily schedule:
6:30-7:30 prata smarami and pranayama

Retreat Venue
Arsha Yoga Gurukulam (www.arshayoga.org) is located in silent village surroundings of central Kerala, where traditional knowledge of yoga, Ayurveda and Vedanta is being impaired.
The Gurukulam provides accommodation in 3 different categories:
1. Shared double accommodation with shared bathroom or safari tent,
2. Double occupancy with attached bathroom,
3. Suite with double occupancy with attached bathroom, balcony and kitchenette.
The Ashram provides two simple vegetarian ayurvedic meals per day that suit the learning and practicing of yoga and two times chai and snacks.
We take effort to provide homegrown organic vegetables and fruits from our garden to the guests. What we eat, we serve also. We do not use any chemical detergents such as washing powder or cleaning detergent. Our main home makers are vinegar, baking soda and soap nuts. Even
though the soil is mostly sandy, since some time, our garden doesn’t need any extra fertiliser, as we use the mixture of cow dung from our cow Parvati and compost waste.
We can proudly say, that you cannot find such a green land anywhere along the beach stripe.
In respect of the local culture and in consideration of the ashram life please follow the ashram guidelines:
• Alcohol, drugs, smoking and non-vegetarian diet (meat, fish or eggs) are prohibited during the ashram stay.
• Long pants and t-shirt covering the shoulders are required for the ashram stay. Tight fitting and
transparent clothing should be avoided.
• For swimming, women are requested to wear shorts down to their knees and a t-shirt covering the
shoulders.
• This is plastic FREE zone. If you bring any plastic bags or bottles with you, please think of packing them with you when you leave.
• Mosquito nets, first aid kit, boiled water are provided and eco-friendly washing soap can be purchased from the ashram.
• Be punctual in schedule, so that you can keep the rhythm of the ashram.
• The gate will be locked everyday at 6 pm.
• Observe silence before morning pranayama class, after evening satsang and during food time. Kindly keep the lights out time which is 9:30pm.
• Do not bring any drinks or food items from outside to the ashram as this disrupts the schedule and diet suitable for ashram life. If you have any dietary requirements due to health reasons, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
About Us
We both come from the Czech Republic. Apart from our nationality we both share a deep passion for India and her culture – HER as we feel she is a real mother – Mother India.
For Petra, yoga is a lifestyle and she can’t imagine her life without it anymore. What was just asanas for her at the beginning, developed into a deep spiritual practice, both on and off the yoga mat.
Petra discovered yoga in 2004 in a yoga studio in Munich, Germany. Her yoga path started with powerful jivamukti yoga, vinyasa and hatha yoga and went to more calm yin and yoga nidra, sound healing sessions, meditation and to yoga therapy that she studied at Arsha Yoga and has been further studying yoga therapy in the tradition of Krishnamacharya ever since. . She is deeply connected to this place and loves to bring groups here. Petra connects these styles to harmonious sessions, where love, empathy and compassion have lots of space. Since 2017 Petra lives with her family in India where she tries to widen her yoga horizon by learning and teaching.
Besides her translation and interpreting studies in Germany, Marie Meera Karanath completed her two years yoga teachers` training course in 2006 and one year yoga therapy instructors’ course in 2008. After gaining experience for three years as a yoga teacher in Germany, she has continued her teaching practice at Arsha Yoga since 2009.She is one of the teachers and the course coordinator of Arsha Yoga, at the moment also a full time mother. Her main passion is yin yoga, individual yoga therapy, kirtan, mantra chanting and woman’s work. “Living in a different country teaches you to set your ego aside, to reassess your social and
cultural background, to come out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. This has to happen. My daugther, Gayatri, is the greatest teacher in this regard.”

Yoga Psychology and the Immune System
This course gives an insight into the mysteries of the mind that Rishis (the sages) were able to see and describe. The knowledge of mind is present in all aspects of life – yoga, Ayurveda, music, dance, rituals, economics, social life or politics – and all such disciplines deal with the concept of mind only.

Yoga psychology analyses the deepest level of mind which is deeper than the sub-conscious as mentioned by modern psychology.

body by using our own mental power (included the

Yoga Psychology Retreat
2022-01-08 16:00 - 2022-01-20 11:00 | Arsha Yoga, Next to Anganvadi, Edasheri beach south, Thrissur, Kerala, 680569, India
This 12 days course offers a good understanding of the human mind and its connection with the material world, our body, and soul. It deals with the knowledge spread over many Vedic scriptures of ancient India. As the mind itself is an instrument of endless information and knowledge, even the Encyclopaedia Britannica would have not been sufficient in describing it and its functions. But what we can cover in 12 days is an insight into the mysteries of the mind that Rishis (the wise men) were able to see and describe. The knowledge of the mind is present in all aspects of life – yoga, Ayurveda, music, dance, rituals, economics, social life or politics – and all such disciplines deal with the concept of mind only. This course is an attempt to collect this dissipated knowledge about the mind and put it into a structure that is understandable for the modern mind. While modern psychology starts its inquiry about the Mind from the aspect of the physical body, yoga psychology mentions the Soul first. The objective of this course is not to compare yoga and western psychology and point out the differences but rather to present yoga psychology as a complete functional psychological approach. Suitable for yoga teachers, yoga therapists, psychologists, holistic therapists, and healers.

The word Āyurveda means the science of life. Yoga and Ayurveda are related as sister disciplines. Both are based on deep wisdom and knowledge that were acquired during meditations performed by sages thousands of years ago. A famous Ayurvedic doctor once said: “Ayurveda does not add to years to life, but life to years”. Ayurveda can be divided into two sub-disciplines – Svasta Vrtam and Ādhura Vrtam. Svasta Vrtam is the lifestyle part and Adhura Vrtam the treatment part. In this course the focus lies on everyday lifestyle tips, so that you won’t ever need to make use of the Adhura Vrtam part. 🙂
This course contains the basic theory of yoga and Ayurveda applicable to everyday life as well as a practical learning of basic ayurvedic body care such as oil massage and ayurvedic cosmetology.

Training content

Yoga can be used to stay healthy, happy and balanced. When the balance shifts, yoga also has a proven therapeutic effect. Research shows that yoga can play an important role in the treatment of various diseases related to trauma, stress and addiction. If you are a Yoga Teacher and if you would like to help people with ailments competently and purposefully, in private or group sessions, then this training is for you!
You will learn the basic concept of Yoga Therapy with the following main content:

Model of the Panchakosha Tattwa, the 5 sheaths from the Taitariya Upanishad
Aadhi – Stress and its management
Aadhija vyadhi (psychosomatic complaints)
Vedic Psychology (structure of the mind & the relationship between mind and body)
The application of yoga therapy as described in the Yoga Vashishita, a classic scripture of yoga.
Pathology from the Yogic point of view
Therapy techniques: Yoga-physiotherapy, respiratory movements, Asanas, Pranayamas, Shat kriyas, cyclical relaxation, the technique of directing Prana (Energy), counseling, meditation techniques etc.

You will learn to perform a consultation purposefully and which exercises you should use for specific cases. You will learn how to teach the exercise to the participant/patient and how to give her/him valuable advice on prevention as well as dealing with the disease and tips for improvement of the condition.

The aim is to enable the patient to practice these exercises regularly at home. Thereafter, once the ailment is under control, the patient can again practice regular yoga to improve the quality of life and maintain good health.

What do our students say:

I really enjoy Harilalji’s classes when the birds sing with you in the morning and in my garden at the same time. A wonderful atmosphere for pranayama and meditation. I benefit greatly from pranayama as Harilalji teaches it. I find the visualizations and affirmations very helpful. The subtle channalising deepens my perception. I find this practice more physically relaxed and feel a deeper effect as a result. (Birgit, Germany)
Dear Harilal and Meera,
I do agree with the other fellow students this course was wonderful. There are hardly any more words left to express the value of what I have learned and experienced last month during the course.
It gave me such more insight in the techniques and philosophy of Pranayama since I took my TTC in 2011. The practices were given with more subtleness and gentleness and they brought me to a much deeper and subtle plan. (Henriette, Netherlands)
Dear Meera and Harilalji, it is always such a pleasure to be with you personally and also virtually! when i hear your voices and also the background sounds of the Ashram like animals and even the voices of the election campaign I feel like being home. Before the course I thought I might not be able properly and I also in some weeks don’t come to practice alone much but still I feel so much more focused and calm with the practice and I’m looking forward to go on from here with meditation the next weeks. (Tina, Austria)
Thank you so much Hari. This was a first, being in a course with you and I have had a wonderful experience. I love the insights that you share in each class..things which help us become more aware of ourselves and our own practice and also of our students. The guidance is also very specific, gentle and spot on. It helped me figure out how to adjust the practice to my needs and move forward despite my challenges. I’m looking forward to the meditation course. Meera thanks for all your help too. (Aparna, India)

Za jógou a poznáním do Indie
2021-03-13 16:00 - 2021-03-26 19:00 | Arsha Yoga, Next to Anganvadi, Edasheri beach south, Thrissur, Kerala, 680569, India
Zdá se, že u mě dozrál čas splnit si další sen, a možná to máme podobně… V druhé polovině října 2020 plánuji na dva týdny (více mi mé povinnosti zatím nedovolí) cestu do ášramu za mými učiteli. Ráda bych zorganizovala skupinu (maximálně 12) podobně naladěných lidí ke společné cestě.
Jedná se Arsha yoga Gurukulam v jižní Indii ve státě Kérala, který vede rodina Karanath. Hariládží – učitel tradiční jógy a jógové terapie a psychologie, filosof; z mého pohledu člověk, od nějž se můžeme mnoho naučit. Marie Meera – Hariho česká
manželka, celoživotní jógínka, má milá kamarádka, maminka malé Gayatri, která naší výpravě pomůže přemostit kulturní a jazykové vzdálenosti.
PROGRAM
Cestovali bychom jako skupina přátel, nikoliv plně organizovaný zájezd. Ode mě však můžete očekávat pomoc s
přípravou, letenkami, pojištěním, vízem, zodpovídání vašich otázek a také veškerou potřebnou asistenci přímo v Indii.
Naší základnou bude malý ášram, který je na nádherném místě netknutém turismem, v přírodě, přímo na pobřeží Arabského
moře. Zde bychom se účastnili tradičního denního programu – brzká ranní meditace a pránajáma na pláži, lekce jógy (vedené mnou, Meerou a Harim, nebo třeba i někým z vás ;), tradičně servírované jihoindické jídlo, karma jóga – tedy spoluúčast na vaření a úklidu, večerní meditace, satsangy s místními a různé výlety. Můžeme také dojednat např. přednášku o ájurvédě, nebo osobní konzultaci s ájurvédským lékařem.
Výlety bychom konkrétně naplánovali společně, až jak se bude formovat skupina. Od našich přání se odvine konečná cena.
Nápady jsou zatím tyto:
• Thrissur – výlet do města a možnost nákupu svršků a
potřebných věcí pro následující dny
• Backwatters: tradiční lodičky a plavba po keralské řece
• Návštěva malého chrámu s možností rituálů (půdži)
• Cesta na ostrov do eco village a dále do velkého ášramu
duchovní učitelky Ammy (vše místními autobusy a vlaky)

Happiness in Daily Life based on the Bhagavad Gita
2020-10-02 17:00 - 19:00
Dear Arsha Yoga Family,
bless us with your virtual presence at the occasion of the 17. anniversary of Arsha Yoga Gurukulam on October 2nd at 5pm (IST), which is also the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi and in India a national holiday. Due to the current world pandemic situation we won’t be able to meet in person, however, we will be honoured by the online presence of Sampujya Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha – a living master on Vedanta – delivering a discourse on Bhagavad Gita in Daily Life. (www.narayanashramatapovanam.org/)
‘‘Bhagavad Gita is not reserved for ascetics and scholars. In fact, it enables us to understand life and attain perfection, harmony and fulfilment. It inspires and empowers one to excel in whatever field one is.”
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
About Swamiji:
Those of you, who have been to Arsha Yoga, have also visited Swamiji’s ashram – Narayana Tapovanam, near Thrissur. Most of you mentioned, that it is probably the most clean and neat place you have ever seen. Swamiji, at the age of 86, still takes rounds of the ashram, and notices even if one plant has been displaced. When we were making the event flyer, Swamiji was very particular about which way his photo should face. He has a reason for everything. The intellect is that much sharp. He is a living proof of the immense capacity of human intellect, which blends beautifully with his innocent and compassionate child-like smile.
Furthermore, Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha is widely revered as a spiritual master, scholar and exponent of the ancient Hindu Scriptures – Bhagavadgita, Srimad Bhāgavatam and Upaniśads – and is well-known for his discourses on Vedanta and its practical application in daily life. He has also been instrumental in organizing campaigns for abolition of some discriminative, derogatory and superstitious practices that were followed by some Hindu temples. He has stood strongly for restoration, preservation and promotion of national values, environmental protection, cultural and academic uplifting of village children and development and welfare of rural areas.
In 1963, he set up Narayanashrama Tapovanam, in Venginissery, Thrissur, which has, over the years, developed into a centre of intense research in the fields of Spiritual learning and Vedanta.
The Ashram plays a distinct role in making sanitary facilities and bathrooms, constructing wells, bore-wells and houses for the poor.
Support is given for medical treatment and education to indigent persons and special help is given to indigent women to generate self-employment.
The streaming of the event happens via Zoom as well as Facebook live.
