If my guru and the Lord were to both come to me, I would go to my guru first and say, “Thank you very much. You have introduced me to the Lord.” I would not go to the Lord and say, “Thank you very much, Lord. You have given me my guru.”

In Loving Remembrance of our beloved Swami Veda Bharati

On this auspicious day our beloved Swami Veda Bharati ji’s 93rd birth anniversary, we, at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram in Rishikesh, will collectively offer a 12-Hours Akhanda Japa (non-stop recitation) of our Sangha Mantra—the Vasudeva mantra or one’s Personal Initiation mantra in silence at the Initiation Room.

The Akhanda Japa will begin at 9 am on 24 March and will be completed at 9 pm.

Immerse yourself in the boundless love and warmth of Swamiji during this sacred occasion, honoring the Guru Spirit for as long as your heart yearns and your body allows, from your own home.

AHYMSIN Sangha Mantra is –

ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय।

Om, I bow to the Lord who dwells within all hearts.

Live on YouTube from Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama, Rishikesh -
Swami Ritavan Bharati speaks on the Vasudeva Principle

https://www.youtube.com/live/vZ5_jyxyn0k?si=9IjMvVPEDI6TlUf3

Our theme for the AHYMSIN global family for 2026-29 will be “vasudeva sarvam”— "That indwelling One is All. There is no other in relation-to, or conditioned-by.”

“I would like to extend again the invitation to continue living in the vasudeva principle, the principle of the in-dweller, the single in-dwelling deity, the in-dwelling force.” – Swami Veda Bharati

As our beloved Swami Veda Bharati has said,
‘What do we mean by the indweller, the indwelling force? One of the many ways, the word “vasudeva” is translated in Bhagavad Gita is the “indwelling deity”. This is closely related to the word “vasu”, meaning, “all places”, for all places are dwelling places of divinity. Vasu is also the “hamsa”, that swan of the universal prana dwelling every-where in every-thing. Vasu-mana is also one of the thousand names of Shiva in the Mahabharata. Vasu-mana means beautiful mind, a mind that dwells as light in Being, and therefore, Vasu is the beautiful, light-filled, indwelling force.

May your mind be vasu-mana. Not this “me”, this little individuated mind, but mind as it is linked to the minds of the whole universe. When one mind-wave meets another mind-wave and a continuum is experienced that is called “mind as an energy field”. One mind-wave meeting another mind-wave in this oceanic-wave-field, and the two become one. When your individual mind touches that universal mind, “samasthi-chitta”, the senses of time and space dissolve. There is a force that acts through the force-field called “mind”, where space and time cease and some other force flows.

The practical application of that is in the principle called ahimsa. Until you learn to practice ahimsa you will never understand what cosmic mind is. You will not understand without the practice of non-violence, because according to the tradition, when you are hurting someone, being angry at someone, you are hurting and harming yourself. Each time people hurt themselves they express any form of violation, and this extends up to the entire cosmic mind, that cosmic mind of which you are a part. That is why among the yamas and niyamas the first yama is ahimsa.’

We now come together during the AHYMSIN Sangha Gathering 2026 at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama Ashram in Rishikesh with over 200 global family members to offer our final japa and practice of the current AHYMSIN Sangha Mantra – the Akhanda-mandalakaram Mantra, dedicated to Gurudeva Shri Swami Rama of the Himalayas.

अखण्ड-मण्डलाकारम् व्याप्तम् येन चराचरम्।
तत्पदम् दर्शितम् येन तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः॥

Akhaṇḍa-maṇḍalākāram vyāptam yena carācaram।
Tat padam darśitam yena, tasmai śrī gurave namah॥

I pay obeisances to Sri Guru, who revealed to me That state, which pervades the entire unbroken circle (of creation), both moving and unmoving.
