Lineage / Teachings
Report
The teachings of Classical Yoga and Vedanta have been practiced for thousands of years in India. Our lineage has been passed down by two prominent twentieth-century Yogis, Swami Sivananda and Swami Vishnudevananda. Their shared teachings live on in our organization and in the Yoga community. Swami Sivananda is one of greatest sages of modern India.
Satsang and Meditation
Report
Satsang means '"association with the wise." Sitting together in a group-whether a newcomer or an experienced practitioner-creates a strong spiritual atmosphere which allows a deeper experience of meditation. It is mysteriously uplifting and joyful.
Satsang consists of 30 minutes of silent meditation, 30 minutes of chanting our Daily Chants (Jaya Ganesha) and a few bhajans accompanied by harmonium, plus a relevant talk or reading on Yoga philosophy or psychology, sometimes with a special guest speaker.We recite Swami Sivananda's Universal Prayer and conclude satsang with arati, waving and receiving the Divine Light.
