Avahana Homa Mantras Part 1 with Sitaram

Play

Starting with this item we would like to present you a series of homa mantras, – mantras which are chanted or recite during a Homa Puja. There will be 17 podcasts altogether. Very sacred, very ancient Homa Mantras. Afterwards we will continue with normal Kirtan. The beginning is the Avahana Homa Mantra – recite by Sitaram. The Homa mantras are chanted each morning at the Yoga Vidya Ashram in Bad Meinberg. To chant, sing or recite this mantra can be helpful to learn how they have to be chanted or recite. We start this serie for all those who participated at a Homa seminar or at an indian ritual class or who participated at one of our morning Homa pujas. The power of these mantras open up to you by listening itself. We wish you energy, mighty power and blessings. More about the meaning of Mantras can be found in German on our Yoga Vidya websites. – Om Shanti.

Today I want to present another interesting Podcast, the Yoga Vidya Tägliche Inspirationen Podcast. This Podcast is in German only, and it is just Audio. So, if you don’t speak German, this Podcast is not for you. For our German viewers: Der Yoga Vidya Tägliche Inspirationen Podcast besteht aus täglichen Hörsendungen: Ein kurzer Vortrag, entweder aus den Morgen-Satsangs, oder ein extra für den Podcast gelesener Kommentar zur Bhagavad Gita, zum Yoga Sutra oder zu andere Schriften.

So, if you don’t speak German, you have to be very selective: Some are bilingual, meaning there is a native English Speaker guiding the meditation, and somebody translating.

Yoga Vidya Satsang Podcast
. This Podcast is in German – if you only speak English you might not read any further 🙁 Im Yoga Vidya Satsang Podcast findest du Vorträge über Yoga, Meditation und spirituelles Leben. Diese Vorträge wurden im Rahmen von Satsangs oder Seminaren gegeben. Satsang heißt „Zusammenkommen, um nach Wahrheit zu streben“. Ein Satsang besteht aus Meditation, Mantra-Singen, Vorträge und Arati (Lichtzeremonie). Mindestens ist das so in der Sivananda und Yoga Vidya Tradition. Im Satsang-Podcast sind nur die Vorträge aus den Satsangs, und manchmal eben auch aus Seminaren, Ausbildungen oder Yogalehrer Weiterbildungen. https://sukadev.podspot.de/rss

Yoga lernen im Ashram

Yoga im Ashram zu lernen und zu praktizieren, ist etwas ganz besonderes. Yoga kann man überall üben – und es gibt so viele Weisen, wie du Yoga lernen kannst. Die wenigsten lernen Yoga heutzutage im Ashram. Man kann Yoga lernen durch Yoga Videos, durch mp3s, DVDs, Bücher, Internet Seiten etc. Yoga Kurse werden angeboten in Yogaschulen,  Fitness-Zentren, Volkshochschulen, in Betrieben, Krankenkassen, Reha-Kliniken, Physiotherapie-Praxen etc.

Was ist das Besondere, Yoga im Ashram zu üben?

  • Im Ashram leben Menschen, die ihr Leben Yoga gewidmet haben. So unterrichten sie Yoga besonders authentisch
  • Wenn du für ein paar Tage in einem Ashram lebst, kannst du schnell den Alltag vergessen, in eine neue Welt eintauchen
  • In einem Ashram gibt es eine hohe spirituelle Schwingung – so kommst du schnell auf andere Bewusstseinsebenen
  • Du lebst den ganzen Tag in einer Yoga Umgebung – so können tief gehende Transformationsprozesse geschehen
  • Bei besonderen Erfahrungen wie Bewusstseinserweiterung oder Reinigungsprozessen hast du sofort Ansprechpartner
  • Vieles geschieht auch auf einer unbewussten Ebene – fast telepathisch
  • Du lernst Menschen kennen, die tief im Yoga verankert sind oder YOga tief lernen wollen – so können auch neue besondere Freundschaften entstehen
Wo gibt es Yoga Ashrams?
  • Ashrams gibt es natürlich in Indien. Die Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Zentren betreiben mehrere Ashrams in Indien, die alle auch sehr gut auf die Bedürfnisse westlicher Aspiranten ausgerichtet sind
  • Ashrams gibt es auch in Deutschland. Yoga Vidya betreibt mehrere Ashrams in Deutschland, die authentisch Yoga in all seinen Aspekten vermitteln. 
  • Am größten ist der Yoga Vidya Ashram Bad Meinberg – vermutlich der größte YOga Ashram außerhalb Indiens. 140 Menschen leben dauerhaft dort, bis zu 500 Gäste kommen dorthin, um für ein paar Tage oder Wochen Yoga authentisch zu praktizieren. 
  • Immer noch große Yoga Ashrams gibt es im Westerwald bei Oberlahr und an der Nordsee bei Horumersiel
Ashrams gibt es n

Mantras und Ashrams

Mantras und Ashrams – das gehört irgendwie zusammen. In Ashrams wird viel gesungen, insbesondere Mantras. Und gerade in der spirituellen Atmosphäre von einem Ashram kann man tiefe Bedeutung der Mantras besonders erfahren.
