During the first ten days people met in small groups to share how they had implemented the homework that was given into their personal psychologies.


The following ten days were spent in small groups to discuss the shape that a feminine organization may take on the basis of the personal spiritual homework done.

The Constitution for the Association of Himalayan Yoga Meditation Societies (AHYMSIN) was passed so that AHYMSIN may work in association with the Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy (Kanpur, India) and Dhyana Mandiram Trust.

Based on the provisions of the Constitution Swami Veda Bharati appointed an Executive Committee, office bearers and a Board of Directors as well as a Committee of financial advisers, PR Committee a Committee for Teacher Training and a Spiritual Committee.

In future the Executive Committee and the Office Bearers will be elected rather than be appointed.
