„It’s a mistake to expect benefits from any pose. Expectations make you restless because if you fail to get what you expect, you feel miserable. Yoga practice is an act of adoration... you do it because it has to be done.“ - Shree Dharma Mittra ji 💚🫶🏽

Swami Premananda🙏🏼💚

since I took my first teacher training course with Sivananda Yoga I felt a deep connection with Swami Sivananda Saraswati. I kept feeling drawn to his wisdom through his books, recorded speeches and lightful spirit. I felt often being guided by his spirit in times of unclarity and darkness. as years passed by the connection with the international Sivananda organisation declined for many reasons, but the connection with Sivananda and the direct line of yogis back to Adi Shankaracharya have never deemed.

While staying in Uttarkashi we heard of a 93 years old Swami, a direct disciple of Sivananda, who lives in his Ashram and doing important charity work in the region. He came to live in UIttarkashi around 1964 with other monks, to do their spiritual work and practices on the banks of Ganga Ma. At these times they got help, food and shelter from the local people. He established his Sivananda Ashram in Ganeshpur 40 years ago and since then giving back to the villagers in education, medical aid, food and help after the earthquake in 1991.

Arriving to his Ashram something felt familiar. The shrines dedicated to Sivananda and Swami Chidananda (the predecessor of Sivananda) with many quotes of Sivananda touched my heart, reminding me all of Sivananda wisdom phrased in short but brilliant way, such as ‘serve, love, give, purify, meditate, realise….’. The meeting Premananda, one could feel a motherly love poring from his eyes on us, and his often laughter reminded me the child like laughter of Dharmaji. In his presence we could all feel a different state of awareness that he posses. He talked with us about the importance of following strictly the Guru instructions, referring to ‘Mantra Mulam Gurur Vaakyam’.

Music and playing the recorder was the most important thing in my life. It was a place where I could express myself without words and find some peace despite the restless mind.
As I discovered the depth and healing that Yoga brought to my life I put aside my professional music career, although the love of music always stayed with me. Early on in my experiences with yoga I discovered the power of sounds, mantras and devotional singing. Seeing the connection between sounds and yoga, and that combining both has a tremendous power of healing, I found myself reconnecting with music, with playing the violin, playing the recorder and singing Mantras to the divine.

We feel grateful every day for the teachings, guidance, compassion and dedication of our Guru, Sri Dharma Mittra.
We wish to dedicate this mantra for his 87th birthday, which expresses the importance of Dharmaji in our spiritual life.

ध्यानमूलं गुरुर्मूर्ति: पूजामूलं गुरुर्पदम्।मन्त्रमूलं गुरुर्वाक्यं मोक्षमूलं गुरुर्कृपा ॥

Dhyaana-Muulam Gurur-Muurtih
Puuja Muulam Gurur-Padam |
Mantra-Muulam Gurur-Vaakyam
Moksha Muulam Guruur-Krpaa ||

The root of meditation is the form of the Guru.
The root of worship is the feet of the Guru.
The root of all mantras is the word/teachings of the Guru.
The root of liberation is the grace of the Guru🙏🏼💚🙏🏼

Like this mantra says, the words of Dharmaji are pure guiding light like a mantra. And in his presence and blessings we feel the ignition of liberating proccess. 💚🙏🏼

Happy 87th birthday💚

Blessings of Ganga Ma from tapasyalayam ashram ,netala village 💚
We spend the last month on the banks of the sacred river Ganga.
For thousands of years many spiritual seekers settled on the northern banks of the Ganga with strong intention of purification and connecting with the highest spirits of the Ganga valley. Some of the more known sages associated with this region are Vashishtha, Nachiketa, Kapila, and Chaurangi.
Mother Ganga is not a simple river with water flowing through it. Ganga is a life giving, source of not exhaustible energy, and associated as the purifier of ancestral malefic deeds (sins). The story how the goddess Ganga was brought down to earth through the intense penance of King Bhagirath in order to cleanse the sins of his ancestors, is echoing in the sound of Ganga Ma rushing between the rocks and the glittery sand💚
Staying in the Ashram while constantly hearing this flow of water sound, pulling the mind towards it and inside yourself, whispering that everything that you feel and go through is perfect. 💚everything is perfect💚
This sound brings you to experience presence and is guiding the heart naturally towards spiritual practice, devotion, and deeper self-inquiry. gradually we felt a profound silent inner change taking place.
Bathing in the Ganga in the morning time, meditating on its banks and chanting Om Shuddhi Daataa Ganga Mata Namo Namo, while feeling gratitude helped us to reconnect with the healing powers and spirits of the valley as a reflection of our own healing powers 💚

Happy Vaishaka/ Buddha purnima💚🙏🏼

The birth, enlightenment, and passing of Gautama Buddha 💚

one of the most sacred and auspicious days of the year. It is a time that symbolizes dharma (righteous living), compassion, generosity, and spiritual growth.

Perfect day to end yoga training sadhana 💚

This day is deeply connected with the life and light of Gautama Buddha (one of the incarnations of Vishnu ) reminding us to walk the path of awareness, kindness, and inner truth. It is said that actions, prayers, donations and intentions offered on this full moon carry special power and blessing💚

We feel so grateful, as today we had the bliss to enjoy satsang with Ammaji — immersed in presence, wisdom, and love.

From this sacred fullness, we are sending blessings of love and peace to all beings.
May your heart be peaceful, your mind clear, and your path guided by light. 💛

Thank you for capturing the blessings of mother gangas darshan 💚🙏🏼
