Himalayan Yoga Tradition

Our Mission

The Association of Himalayan Yoga Meditation Societies International (AHYMSIN) is a world-wide affiliation of centers and initiates. Mahamandaleshwara Swami Veda Bharati, a disciple of H. H. Sri Swami Rama, founded AHYMSIN in 2007, with its global headquarters at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG).

​

Our purpose is to spread the teachings of yoga meditation, together with its philosophy, texts, and scientific applications in accordance with the tradition of the Himalayan Sages, as interpreted by Swami Rama of the Himalayas. 

​

We are dedicated to restoring yoga and meditation to their ancient and traditional purity, yet retaining the same in a modern scientific framework, exploring their application to the modern world, and fulfilling these purposes by training spiritual guides and teachers of international stature.

​

Swami Veda Bharati served as the Spiritual Guide of AHYMSIN from its inception until his Mahasamadhi on 14th July 2015. Swami Veda Bharati chose Swami Ritavan Bharati as the Ashram Pramukha and Spiritual Guide of SRSG and the AHYMSIN community.

​

AHYMSIN has an Adhyatma Samiti or the Spiritual Committee, composed of Mantra Initiators and Swamis. All members of the Adhyatma Samiti share the responsibilities and duties of spiritual guidance as intended by Swami Veda Bharati.

​

Under the spiritual guidance of Swami Ritavan Bharati and the AHYMSIN Adhyatma Samiti, we continue to realign and renew our commitment to the Mission lovingly given to us by our Gurudeva Swami Rama and Swami Veda Bharati.

​

Swami Veda Bharati, a disciple of Swami Rama, laid the foundation for this activity, and AHYMSIN was established at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama in Rishikesh, India in 2007. AHYMSIN is registered as a non-profit organization by the Indian government, has offices all over the world, and many colleagues are involved in its activities.

AHYMSIN Japan has inherited this philosophy and is working to spread the study of yoga and meditation within Japan.
