To create this community of meditators, invitations are emailed to all the meditation and yoga centers we know. It is then passed on from individual to individual. Please share this invitation and bring a friend!
Unity occurs when prayer merges into deep silence. Please come early to settle in and BYOC (bring your own cushions if you are of the floor sitter), chairs will be provided.

He has written numerous books, including an exhaustive commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Swami Veda was initiated into the Dhyana (meditative yoga) tradition in 1969 by H.H. Sri Swami Rama, his spiritual teacher. Since then he has been instrumental in setting up and providiing spiritual guidance to yoga meditation centers throughout the world. He is the spiritual head of an ashram in Rishikesh, India; a 200-acre medical complex near Dehradun, India; and this Meditation Center in Minneapolis, MN. In March 1999 the Shankara Order of Swamis in India conferred on Swami Veda the title of Mahamandeleshvara - he is one of 30 or so Indian Swamis to hold this honor. Swami Veda has spoken before the United Nations and met with the world's major religious leaders, including the Dalai Lama. He understands 17 languages in varying degrees of fluency.
