[Guest guest]

Vaisnava Yoga Teacher Training Course comes to Radhadesh, January 2005.

 

Join His Holiness Sacinandana Swami, leaders of the Benelux region, England,

Germany, America and Iran this January at the teacher training intensive for

Atma Yoga, a yoga system based on Vaisnava philosophy. Founded by H.G.

Atmananda Dasa, he has begun teaching it all over the world by the order of

his spiritual master, H.H. Bhakti Tirtha Swami. Atma Yoga is hatha yoga and

sankhya yoga infused with the spirit of bhakti, and has been very successful

in the United States as a means of attracting new people to the Vaisnava

community. Some of those people have become devotees of Krsna as a result,

and many of them offer professional skills and help as service to the temple

community as a result of establishing friendship with the devotees. The Atma

Yoga program has been approved by many of ISKCON's GBC, Sannyasis, and

Temple Presidents as offering valuable technologies which can be used by

temples, centres or individuals as a means of attracting people to Krsna

consciousness. Taking advantage of the immense popularity of 'yoga' in the

modern world, Atma Yoga seeks to create an enjoyable and transformative

experience for all who participate, gradually drawing them closer to the

ultimate goal, bhakti-yoga. In the words of His Holiness Devamrta Swami,

"this is a very important program for helping to spread Krishna

Consciousness."
