1. University Pracar in El Salvador
In the Panama Region, RS Dada Satyamitrananda has visited El Salvador regularly and has established a connection with UCA University in San Salvador. On June 14th, he gave a lecture to 15 students interested in Tantra and Biopsychology. Some of them were returning students from previous sessions. Dada is preparing to return to UCA soon for follow-up lectures and new presentations. Several students also plan to visit Ananda Maya Ashram in Guatemala to receive diikśā.
2. Service to the Elderly – Guatemala
Guatemala is a country plagued by poverty, illiteracy, and unemployment. Naturally, the weak and elderly suffer greatly under such conditions. On August 21st, Dada Satyamitrananda and several Márgiis visited a nursing home to provide nutritious food, haircuts, and entertainment. The elderly residents benefited deeply from the service, which brought both care and joy to their lives.
3. Yoga Teachers Training Course at Ananda Maya Ashram – Guatemala
From August 9th to 20th, Dada Satyamitrananda conducted a three-week Yoga Teachers Training Course at Ananda Maya Ashram in Guatemala. The program—closely aligned with an LFT course and approved by Yoga Alliance—was based on the curriculum Dada previously taught at the Ananda Marga Yoga Academy in Singapore.
The course included yoga history, practical training in the eight limbs of Aṣṭāṅga Yoga, yoga philosophy (including Brahma Cakra), Neohumanism, and PROUT, as well as extensive instruction in āsanas and yoga anatomy. Dada is planning to offer similar training in the future. Those interested may contact him directly or visit his website: anandamayaashram.org.
Seminar at Ananda Maya Ashram, Guatemala
Ác. Satyamitrananda Avt. organized an Ananda Marga Seminar from September 19 to 21, 2025, at Ananda Maya Áshram — the Jagriti and retreat center located in Guatemala City. Ác. Diiptimánánanda Avt. visited Guatemala during that week and jointly conducted seminar classes together with Ác. Satyamitrananda Avt. Sister Anuvratá provided valuable assistance by translating the classes into Spanish, helping participants follow the spiritual teachings with ease and enthusiasm.
Five Margiis attended the seminar, engaging deeply in the classes and collective practices. During his stay, Ác. Diiptimánánanda Avt. also took the opportunity to climb Acatenango Volcano, one of the highest and most scenic peaks in Guatemala. The climb provided a chance for spiritual reflection in nature and for meeting new friends and sympathizers, further expanding Ananda Marga’s circle of inspiration in the region.
