Swami Veda gives a thorough description of the mental process of creativity and how to apply it. He starts with how the mind perceives objects both in the physical and mental world. These perceptions can be followed back in the mind towards the source of creativity. Finally, he provides a practical method to be creative in any endeavor. This lecture will benefit anyone who feels blocked and wants to open the floodgates of their creative intelligence.

A Message from Salvatore…”The title of my Thursday talk is: Love in the Yoga-Sutra – Where is it? This is based on a conversation I had with Swami Veda in 2006 on completion of my first 40-day Silence. In Silence practice, reading is either eliminated or very restricted. My reading was restricted to the Yoga-Sutra. One thing I noticed was that the term love does not appear in this text. I asked Swamiji about this and I will share his response.

Salvatore Zambito is a well-known mystic, rogue scholar, and world-traveling recluse. In 1967, while a sophomore in college, Salvatore discovered hatha yoga and massage. This was the beginning of his active and very personal body mind research in transpersonal psychology and anatomical kinesiology.

He began his exploration of yoga as a student of Hatha Yoga with the Sivananda Yoga Centers in Chicago and Val Morin, Canada. He was gently coerced into becoming a teacher in 1969. The Yoga-Sutra of Patañjali entered his life in 1969.
Through the years, Salvatore has established several yoga centers in America and taught yoga related subjects at institutes and universities around the world. From 1980 to 1986 he taught Yoga and Stress Management at Boise State University. During this period, he also served as BSU’s Chief of the Anatomical Kinesiology Laboratory, where he directed cadaver dissection and prosection, and served as a teaching assistant. He provided stress management consultation to the Boise business community and taught stress management strategies at St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise and Mercy Medical Center in Nampa, Idaho.
Salvatore always looks for interesting areas to explore. In 1980 he researched, proposed and administered one of the first two national pilot programs for the application of Hatha Yoga as a functional improvement and comfort modality for Multiple Sclerosis. He administered the program for several years.
In 1988, Salvatore’s research finally took him to India, where he lived for two years. To his surprise, he found himself teaching in ashrams and universities there. Salvatore returns to India regularly to study and teach.
Salvatore is the author of The Unadorned Thread of Yoga: The Yoga-Sūtra of Patañjali in English, which presents each of the 196 sūtras, with text analysis and twelve authoritative translations.
In addition to his expertise in yoga, Salvatore is a structural bodyworker in the Rolfing tradition and a licensed massage therapist in the State of Washington. He has created a 400-hour course of bodywork instruction (Dimensional Integration™) accredited through IMSTAC (International Massage and Somatic Therapies Accrediting Council). His years of yogic breathwork, hands-on bodywork and cadaver dissection led to The Wind of Life, a workshop that addresses the dimensions of human respiration. This set of seminars provides techniques to open and balance the respiratory capsule through movement education and manual therapeutic facilitation.
Salvatore is the founder of the Yoga-Sūtras Institute. His teaching areas span meditation, the Yoga-Sūtras of Patañjali, anatomy, kinesiology, and physiology. He is on staff at several yoga centers and ashrams around the world.
Salvatore lives with his wife, dogs, and a flock of pampered chickens on a tiny hobby farm in western Washington State.

“Annual Festival of the Spirit” from June 15 – July 24, 2021
2021-06-15 00:00 - 23:30
“Annual Festival of the Spirit”
June 15 – July 24, 2021

In 2021 the 40-day period of Spiritual Renewal begins
on June 15th until the Full Moon of Guru Purnima, which this year is on the July 24th.

Each summer during the 40 days that precede Guru Purnima, sadhakas are invited to participate in the 40-Day Spiritual Festival, to expand and refine one’s sadhana.
These 40 days are celebrated wherever you are.
It is a time to contemplate (and talk with others about) the many ways you can participate.
You might review what Swami Veda’s suggestions and teachings have been in previous years, including Sadhana in Applied Spirituality and the practice given by Swami Veda on 9th March 2013 for “your next five years and for the rest of your life.” During these 40 days, yoga students can choose to intensify their yoga practice and/or make beneficial changes in their lifestyles, in a variety of ways.

Read here the guidelines for the 2021 40-Day Spiritual Festival.

“We are all here for a purpose; it is an on-going spiritual process. We are all here for spiritual liberation and serving that mission. For that purpose we are purifying ourselves of our pride and ego. For these reasons we train ourselves in constant self-observation: to see oneself, to hear oneself to develop this internal dialogue. I have used one criterion for all my thoughts, my words, and my actions: ‘Is this conducive to spiritual liberation.'” – Swami Veda.

Swami Ritavan invites you to join us for a group meditation starting at 9 o’clock in the evening. Meditate wherever you are at that time.

Special Message from Swami Ritavan Bharati
“Full Moon Meditation”

In meditation, we gather in the spirit of Guru’s grace, light of knowledge, and with aspirations for kindness (amity), compassion (karuna), our task remains—Awake and Aware. Aware of our inner strength as our natural state of personality. Awake through self-observation, through neutrality, through conscious choice. Our identification with this essential nature reveals the strong, the pure, the beauty-that is our divine nature. Through a certain restraint, we become a conqueror. Our task, through our sadhana in applied spirituality, is greater understanding, not only of what is right with the world but how the beauty of that which is right can be applied to beautify in what has become “ugly” in so many ways. And, it is the “I”of ego–me and mine, that harbor negative emotions, conflicts, and criticisms that veil and obscure beauty. Remember, it is the nature of our divine personality that animates forces to maintain calm, peaceful, harmonious, and conflict-free minds within, and in those around us in ever-expanding circles of influence. Be the Light of Love that you seek.

“Sprinkle silence out the windows of your eyes, of your senses, out of your heart and through your words. Convey your inner peace, stillness and emotional equilibrium. See how this silence “speaks” to other minds at that deep level. Silence impacts the psyche as no spoken word can.”
-Swami Veda Bharati-
