Satyananda Yoga UK & Ireland are very honoured and delighted to welcome Swami Satyasangananda Saraswati as the principal guest and speaker at the Harrogate, London and Ireland programs in July 2009.

Better known to us as Swami Satsangi, she is a veritable dynamo, tirelessly serving her Guru by leading and inspiring the projects of Sivananda Math in Rikhia ashram.

She is the author of several Satyananda Yoga books, including the much-loved Karma Sannyasa, Tattwa Shuddhi and Sri Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. Her latest book, Sri Saundarya Lahari will be available for the first time at the programs.

Our sadness at hearing the news that Swami Niranjanji cannot conduct the planned programs this year has truly been transformed to joy in the knowledge of Swami Satsangi’s coming. There is no doubt that the programs will be enriched by her presence and we look forward to experiencing new dimensions of the teachings as she shares her wisdom with us. For further details, please see www.swan2009.co.uk.

Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

Come and join us in joyful singing and powerful mantra chanting on the first Friday of each month, except August.
(If the first Friday in the month falls close to a Public Holiday, you may wish to check by calling Prem on 0121 444 2590 beforehand).

At 6.30 pm, we focus on suffering Beings everywhere, naming those we particularly wish to remember, and together we chant Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, an ancient & powerful mantra for the relief of all suffering.

From 7.30 pm, we sing Kirtan together - joyful and heartfelt chants sung in unison or as ‘call and response’ invoking a deep sense of connectedness with our true nature.

Everyone is welcome to join us for either or both of these practices!
