Shantiji Parakh
Suhasji Tambe
With sessions with H.H. Munishri Amrenderji & H.H. Brahm Rishi Guruvanand Swamiji
Jai Jinendra,
Siddhachalam is pleased to announce a 2-1/2 day yoga and meditation camp on June 21-23rd, 2013.
Instructors
The camp is led by Shri Suhas Tambe and Shri Shanti Parakh.
Shri Tambe has extensively researched Patanjali sūtras and rediscovered unexplained secrets behind them. His book, “The Making of a Yoga Master,” is well-known for simplifying the deeper meaning of the sūtras.
Shri Parakh, a longtime disciple of Acharya Sushil Kumarji (Guruji), accompanied Guruji on peace, goodwill and educational mission to Poland, Hungry, Czechoslovakia, Germany, and the former Soviet Union. He has been a yoga teacher for more than 35 years and has aided hundreds of individuals in dealing with chronic and other ailments through yoga and meditation. He is also an internationally-known reflexologist.
Monks
Siddhachalam is also blessed to have with us during that time two well-known monks who are masters in yoga and meditation.
Munishri Amrenderji, a Jain Monk, is a well-known yogi. When Guruji was alive in person, he frequently joined Guruji in meditation and Arhum Yoga camps.
Brahm Rishi Guruvanand Swamiji, also a monk, is well-known for having awakened all his chakras. He will address the participants on the afternoon of June 22.
We will also have a presentation from Prof. Courtney Schlosser, author of “The Light of Non-Violence,” a book on Guruji.

Who May Register
Siddhachalam follows an open-door policy and the camp is open to all adults, regardless of religious background, beliefs, race, etc. Prior knowledge of yoga practice is recommended but not essential.
Topics
The camp will cover both theory and practice of yoga and meditation. As Guruji explained, the objective of yoga and meditation is to know and awaken the self.
Topics to be covered in the camp include the following:
- how yoga improves body, mind, chakras, and emotions;
- empowerment of will and unlearning of mind;
- why meditation is integral to yoga;
- how pranayama is pivotal to yoga practice;
- five-stage progression on the yoga path – from seeking to enlightenment;
- yoga methods and practices with which a spiritual expedition is launched.
Sessions will be conducted both indoors and outdoors by the Tonks of Shikharji at Siddhachalam.

We are trying to keep the class size small and registrations will be accepted on a first-serve basis.
Welcome!
Keshi said to Gautam: “Whom do you call foes?” Hearing these words of Keshi, Gautam replied: “O sage! The first foe is one’s unconquered soul. Add to this the four passions of anger, conceit, deceit and greed, and the five senses of touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. Vanquishing all these ten, I move about righteously.” Kumar-shraman Keshi said: “Gautam, you are endowed with excellent wisdom. You have removed my doubt…” Uttaradhyayana Sutra, 23:3- 39.
