How HYT-TTP is serving AHYMSIN

   We would like to invite you to become a volunteer in the TTP organization.

Let us take a moment to explain how the TTP organization is developing to better serve the larger AHYMSIN Family.

Our mission as defined by Swami Veda is:
1. To work for spiritual liberation for as many beings as we are capable of helping,
2. Maintaining the pure spirituality and meditation teaching in such a way it carries on into the future generations,
3. Extending and expanding the teaching of the yoga and meditation as taught by the Himalayan Masters as interpreted by Swami Rama.

Our major goals are to provide the support structure to serve this mission, by encouraging: 

* AHYMSIN Members to become Teachers. Swami Veda has said, “Teach and be blessed. Teach and your sadhana will progress.” 
* TTP graduates to support or build local AHYMSIN centers to train the future generation. 
* AHYMSIN (long time practitioners) Members to become mentors to teachers-in-training to provide the 1-to-1 attention that is essential to our tradition. 
* AHYMSIN members to provide volunteer services to extend and expand the program. 
* Yoga teachers from other traditions to study the Himalayan Tradition and if appropriate to become AHYMSIN members.

The Support Structures that we are developing:

1. Communication System – web based network for student teachers, mentors, teachers to discuss the “hows and whys” of all aspects of teaching yoga and meditation in our tradition from Foundations to Sadhana to Instruction and Integrated Practice. The system includes oversight by AHYMSIN family sadhakas who will monitor the discussions to provide insight and when necessary will forward questions to the AHYMSIN spiritual committee.
2. Student/Mentor System – a web assisted roadmap to guide the student and their mentor as the student progresses through an intensive home study. Most of the materials (monthly assignments, audio lectures, lecture transcripts, articles, booklets) will be in an online library. A process is outlined for a suggested set of mentor/student meetings providing the topics to be covered, resources to support the topics, and a recommended feedback methodology.
3. Teacher Sharing System – web based library to support the sharing of teaching materials between and among AHYMSIN teachers.
4. Public Awareness - publicize the Himalayan Yoga Tradition though representation at conferences, mailing brochures, and providing an engaging public web site that introduces: our tradition, our teacher training program, our centers, our teachers, our retreats, and our bookstore.
5. Administrative Office – located in Rishikesh and supported through web systems. Our goal is to ensure that there is one place where all issues and needs for the program can be handled.
6. Financial System – ensure that the program is financially responsible and self-supporting.
7. Student Data Base – web based system to ensure that each student’s record is carefully maintained and monitored to provide the student with the confidence to ensure successful progression in the program and to graduation.
