Strilky, 15 August 2014

The festival of the birthday of Gurudev is always dear to the disciples. On this occasion bhaktas gathered around His Holiness Swami Maheshwaranandpuriji in Strilky Ashram and greeted him with tokens of love and devotion. The event was an auspicious and joyful end to the Sadhana Seminar week. 

The festival of Raksha Bandhan falls on the full moon day (Shravan Purnima) of the Shravan month of the Vedic lunar calendar. On Raksha Bandhan day, sisters tie a rakhi (thread bracelet) on her chosen brother's wrist. This symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for her brother, and the brother's commitment to protect her.

At the Advanced Teacher Training Sadhana Camp in Strilky, Czech Republic, yoga teachers are studying and working thoroughly, under the leadership of His Holiness Swamiji.

Sri Devpuriji was called Abunathswami, that is the title of a saint or yogi who is connected to the holy place Mount Abu in Rajasthan, India. The Nath tradition was founded by Matsyendranath and further developed by Yogi Gorakshnath.

Sri Devpuriji was also an Avadhuta saint – one who does not identify with his body, mind or any names and forms. Such a person is held to be pure consciousness. Avadhuta saints play a significant role in the history and rejuvenation of tradition of Sat Sanatan Dharma.

On the third day after the auspicious constellation of Amavasya, the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the mahasamadhi of Sri Devpuriji, the embodiment of Lord Shiva, was highlighted by H.H. Abunath Swami Maheshwarananda during satsang. ( His life story can be read in Lila Amrit.)

HH Abunathswami Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Maheshwarananda will lead the Summer Sadhana Camp seminar in Mahaprabhu Deep Ashram, Strilky, Czech Republic. The seminar started on Friday 25 July 2014 and lasts for one month. All techniques will be practiced in the seminar: asana, pranayama, kriya, meditation, and other traditional methods of the Yoga in Daily Life system. Programs for both beginners and advanced groups have been organised, as well as a special program for children.

Every day from 10:00-11:30 and 19:30-21:00 (local Czech time) there are live webcast with gurudev Abunathswami Maheshwaranandaji giving lectures on various topics.
