Conquest of Three Worlds
The form and the tradition within which we teach is not a form of being a source of information. You are used to seminars for information. This is not that kind of a tradition. You would say, "Well! Aaaah, if a seminar is not for information, what else is there?" We have a word in India, a very commonly used, a Sanskrit word that is used in all the languages of India, and has found a place in spiritual English also. I don't know if it has appeared in the Webster's and Oxford English Dictionaries yet or not, but it should be a good candidate for them. And that word is satsanga. Without claiming myself to be saintly, the literal meaning of the word is "company of the saintly."

The Himalayan tradition of yoga and meditation has remained unbroken for thousands of years; it has been passed on from master to master. It is an ancient, holistic system of physical, mental and spiritual practices.
It was brought to the West by H.H. Swami Rama and continues to this day under the spiritual guidance of Swami Veda Bharati, Dr.Lit.
This website is a source of information about the wisdom and practices of the Himalayan Yoga-Meditation Tradition for everyone interested in Yoga and Meditation and looking for classes.
The heart of yoga is meditation. Welcome to the Himalayan Yoga-Meditation Tradition!
"When people talk about yoga science, they often think it has something
to do with the physical body only. Yoga is a science that deals
with the body, breath, mind, soul—and ultimately the universe itself. It is
both practical and theoretical."
