People from the department of health visited the Centre weekly to make sure we were maintaining the Covid protocols. We conducted a workshop on headstands which attracted quite a number of students. On the same day we did our first Instagram live, with Uma Natarajan, a senior teacher. We had a live Q & A session on the topic Five Points of Yoga. We had an enchanting Sunday evening Satsang, led by Gopan along with our staffs, students & families.

Kalki went to Madurai Ashram. Main highlight was the online weekend workshop on the topic Nourishing Nutrition, conducted by Suneetha Sapur, a clinical Nutritionist who has worked as a consultant at Apollo Hospitals and Microsoft. The workshop went well, it was quite an interactive session with 15 participants. Apart from that, we continued our regular chanting of Om Namo Narayanaya every evening, Vishnu Sahasranama on Thursdays & Lalitha Sahasranama on Fridays.

The staffs play an important role in keeping the Centre clean and green by gardening. The most important is to work at the reception where we show people “the path of yogic life”. We provided a free trial class with every Sunday for connecting people with the path of Sivananda Yoga and Vedanta. We were also set-up online/offline Satsang every Sunday at 6 pm.

Online in March we repeated 108 times the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra collectively with our online students, for healing and protection of our fellow human beings. With the warmer days coming, more attention was brought to our Peace Garden. Two karma yogis of the Centre, Marian and Sasha, put their heart and soul into anything that can help make our garden thrive. A number of new courses were planned for the upcoming weeks: Stress Management, Positive Thinking, Meditation, Cooking and Beginners’ Yoga. Jaya will teach some of the Beginners’ Yoga courses. Savitri will teach everything else. We enjoyed a beautiful celebration of Maha Sivaratri. We performed 2 Pujas, following the online Pujas guided by Yagneswara Dixit, and joined in for the rest of the celebration with our Ashrams in Reith and Orléans. 5 students came here to participate in the energy of the Centre. Ragunath Manet shared a very inspiring and lively Indian dance workshop. We were looking forward to his course.

As March marched on everything continued to go well at the London Centre, still in the context of a national lockdown. We continued with the chanting of the weekly Om Namo Narayanaya, together with the Paris Centre. We offer a short and sweet kirtan workshop right after, a moment spent in the soothing energy of bhakti, and to which we were very much looking forward to each week. We also chanted the Maha Mrityunjaya 108 times at least once weekly with whoever wants to join amongst our students. Marian and Sasha became as active as the birds in the opening Spring season: they appear more often to take care of Swami Vishnudevananda’s Peace Garden. We had a nice little meeting and we will put some energy in producing a little bit of compost going forward. Still regarding the “garden department”, we bought two planters, handmade by a local carpenter. We look forward to starting the planting and growing some new plants. We followed the lovely online workshop with Indian dancer and artist Raghunath Manet, who always shares his contagious energy and enthusiasm for Indian classical culture – a beautiful and joyful way to conclude the week. Weekends were very calm here at the Centre. May the Masters’ blessings and protection be with all of you, always. With best wishes for health and inner peace. Om Tat Sat. OM.

In March the LA Centre remained closed due to a surge in Covid cases, hence the LA Centre staff continued to live and teach from the Yoga Farm Ashram. All continued well with the online TTC. Days were full. Mentees were inspired. Swami Sivasankariananda made a quick trip to LA, dropping off Sivadas and picking up mail and boutique items at the Centre.

We were grateful for our weekly music classes with Hasu Patel. Hearts are light.

Om Namah Sivaya from the Montevideo Centre. During March the Centre’s activities continued to be very positive, both in person and online. We had a sunny start to the month with pleasant temperatures. Our students were very grateful to be able to take classes. Chandra taught a lot due to the absence of several teachers. We started a new Beginners’ Yoga course course with 13 students, taught by Dr. Padma. She continued with the Ayurvedic Counseling for Health Balance. Kanti Devi started an online Vedanta philosophy course. Students were very happy and grateful. They appreciated her clarity and simplicity in delivering this rich knowledge. Sivaratri was a great experience. The South American Centres joined the European Centres in part of the celebration. From this corner of the world we appreciated the beauty of Indian dance through the dancer Ragunath Manet. Then we participated in the Puja led from India by the priest Yagneswara Dixit. Then we began the transmission in Spanish with a Portuguese translation, where different stories of Lord Siva were related. Different teachers offered devotional songs and we ended with a beautiful arati. The reunion with many students and teachers, who do not participate regularly in our Satsang was very beautiful. We were united through devotion to the Lord Siva and our hearts were full of love and peace. We sincerely thank all the Swamis and staff who allowed us to carry out this beautiful spiritual celebration, overcoming the difficulties of place and time for the benefit of all. Online students were very happy with the classes and courses. We finalized the details for a next TTC online that will begin on April 5. We pray intensely for peace and harmony in this world. May the Grace of Gurudev and Swamiji be upon us all. Om Shanti. Om.

Om Namah Sivaya. The Paris Centre continued to chant daily online the Om Namo Narayanaya for peace chant. We also chanted the mantra onsite with a group of students and karma yogis. The first part on the chanting online was with the whole world, led by Swami Kailasananda and the second part was led by the Centre’s staff. We ended the chanting session with meditation, Aarati and Prasad.

In early March Life gave us inspiration with the Celebration of Sivaratri and with the visit of Swami Kailasananda. For Sivaratri, there was a group of close teachers onsite. We chanted the mantra with the Sivananda family online, we offered two uplifting Pujas with the priest from Bangalore and we danced with Ragunath Manet from India. After the online celebration we continued to chant onsite, to dance, to do a last Puja and to meditate until the early morning. Everyone ate and helped to clean the house before leaving at six am after the curfew. Many teachers were there for the uplifting and cheerful Satsang given by Swamiji. She commented some inspiring words of Swami Sivananda on the topic of forgiving our mistakes and seeing them as a way of overcoming fear and of getting close to serenity, calmness and peace. We were a big family for that morning staff Satsang. We celebrated Ganapati’s birthday with an inspiring letter, Om Tryambakam, a gift and the practice of Ganesha mudra. Swamiji and Ganapati went back to the Ashram after the Satsang with the Indian food order in the car. For a public afternoon Sunday Satsang, we chanted the Sunday prayers and some inspiring words on the topic of alertness from Master Sivananda. We enjoyed chanting Om Namo Narayanaya for peace, daily. We continued to read the Gita in the mornings. We had an online meditation course with a little group of motivated students. The online positive thinking course level two continued with inspiring commentaries from the students. There were also two practical asana workshops onsite on the topics of spinal twist and forward bends. The students of the Monday’s gentle course appreciated their practice under the sunshine surrounded by the beautiful plants in the main hall. The Masters keep sending armies of karma yogis to support the running of the Centre and to put a dose of sattva in the house. Some close students stayed in the Centre over night to participate to the life of the Centre. We were all grateful for the opportunity to do collective Sadhana online, guided by the Acharyas, the senior staffs and the gurubais. We appreciated the courses, classes and Satsangs online. Sivaratri was still in the air. The mantra remained with us.

Mid March we were grateful to life for being able to open the Paris Centre, in spite of the new lockdown of the city. God gave us cheerful mornings with the practical courses in the Main hall. The participants of the courses appreciated their practice under the sunshine surrounded by beautiful plants. As usual we chanted Om Namo Narayanaya for peace, daily online accompanied by some teachers onsite. The afternoon courses and classes were very calm. In the evenings we had the regular online classes and courses, before the online Satsangs with Reith and Orleans. There was a stress management onsite course with Omkari and Girija. We had an asana workshop on the topic of relaxation and the regular meditation and positive thinking online courses. For the public Satsangs, we had many kirtans and some inspiring words from Swami Sivananda on the topics of attitude in adversity and application from ‘religious education’. The Masters keep sending precious help to support the Centre. Some close teachers came to stay one or two days with us. Spring was felt in the air. The plants in the Main Hall were blooming. We did many calls and sent personal e-mails to inform the students that the Centre will remain open. Everyone was happy to know that they could continue to come for Satsangs, courses and karma yoga.
May God and the Masters protect the Paris Centre. May the Divine Mother destroy all negativity and bring love and peace. May Swami Sivananda and Swami Vishnudevananda continue to guide and to inspire all of us. With all our wishes for health and peace. OM.

Om Namah Sivaya. The Tel Aviv Centre is closed and all courses are offered online.

In March Swami Shambhudevananda finished teaching the Bhagavad Gita course, on the sixth chapter. The students very much enjoyed an in depth and friendly explanation of the scripture. This was already the seventh workshop he has led on the Gita. Pranava Chaitanya continued to help students as a mentor with the online teacher training course(TTCOL). Despite all the challenges the students had a quick progress and became excellent teachers. Bhargavi Chaitanya opened a Yoga 3 course, where at the end of each lesson the students sang a few minutes of mantras accompanied by harmonium and then opened a message for the week from the Sivananda Upanishad. We opened a new whatsapp group of vegetarian yogic recipes in which an amazing recipes were sent every day. It gives a lot of inspiration to hundreds of students in order to encourage them for proper yogic diet. Some students already reported they tried the recipes and are enjoying the app very much. We celebrated the Mahasivaratri. We prepared 72 Prasads! All the teachers and karma yogis brought lots of fruits, Prasad and flowers. There was a very great abundance. It was an amazing celebration full of singing, devotion and blessings.

By mid March Parnava opened a Yoga 2 course. Bhargavi opened “The Power of Thought” course. This is a 4-session workshop based on the book by Swami Sivananda “How to Cultivate Virtues and Eradicate Vices”. Parnava opened a new meditation course with 16 students. The first time since Covid19 shut down, we opened a frontal course in the Centre.  We were very excited to see students returning to the Centre. A student of the Centre invited the staff to travel to the north of Israel. The staff had a wonderful guided tour of blossoming nature, fish, birds and other animals and enjoyed a wonderful weekend. The Centre remains closed due to the general lockdown. May the Master’s grace be with all. Om.

During March the Tokyo Centre remained open, however, the Japanese Government declared an emergency, imposing restrictions for outing during the night time for Tokyo residents and the neighboring prefectures. To abide by this, the classes scheduled at night hours were offered online only.

We gave a workshop on Bhakti yoga in which we introduced 9 paths to cultivate Bhakti. We offered a TTC briefing session joined by good number of people, receiving many questions, which exhibits their high interest in the program. Yoga 1 was well in its progress. Machiko from the Shojiko Retreat Centre, accompanied by a cat, stayed here at the Tokyo Centre to help us with the class operation, etc.

Mid March Swami Sitaramananda gave a talk online in the evening Satsang one Sunday, in which Swamiji introduced the yogic lifestyle offered by SYVC and Ashrams available for people to practice it. It was a good opportunity for those who feel stressful and are unable to go out freely under this Covid-19 circumstance to rethink their own life. A 108-round Sun salutation workshop was held, by which we enjoyed dynamic movement and nice stretch of whole body in preparation for the Spring. We offered a workshop to learn how to play harmonium. Some of the students were not familiar with any musical instrument and some others are interested in kirtan, with all students committed to the practice. May Master and Swamiji’s grace be with all. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shantihi. Om.
