Recent events at the Gurukulam--Yoga Festival 2005- Swami Brahmananda--Teacher Training in Rishikesh

By B. John Zavrel

 

Rishikesh/New York. With the arrival of April, Swami Veda is preparing to start his 2005 world lecture tour, which will also bring him again for some time to the United States. As he has done in recent years, Swami Veda is limiting his travels and will spend most of the time in Minneapolis and its vicinity. Again, he will teach a group of future yoga teachers the fine points of the yoga science and meditation, with special emphasis on deepening their spiritual practices. Also a Silent Retreat will be held prior to the Teacher Training Program, for the more advanced and ambitious students of yoga.
