Mohamudgar — The Hammer That Shatters Delusion

Retreat at the ashram, August 28-30 2026

Attributed to Adi Shankaracharya, the Mohamudgar is a garland of verses forged to break the mind’s grip on the ever-changing external phenomena, and turn it toward the permanent, which remains moment to moment, lifetime after lifetime. Its refrain — Bhaja Govindam — has been sung by seekers for well over a thousand years, and it still lands with force on the modern mind, continuously depleted by distraction and endless wanting.

One-Week Summer Yoga Retreat

Retreat at the ashram, July 6–12 2026

You are invited to a retreat at the Szólád Yoga Ashram that promises complete rejuvenation and relaxation. Spend a week in the ashram’s peaceful and serene environment, and experience how the lifestyle promoted by yoga is relaxed yet dynamic, complex in its effects yet simple, and how daily activities refresh rather than drain you. The daily schedule follows the complete system taught by the Satyananda system of Yoga, which includes the techniques of yoga branches such as hatha, raja, karma, bhakti, jnana, and mantra yoga. The program is led by sannyasins who are yoga teachers with exceptional experience—Swami Maitreyi, Swami Omgyanam, and Swami Mudraroopa—who have spent decades at the tradition’s headquarters in India.

Fund raising for construction

Main building of the Hungarian Yoga Association

We are very happy to announce that the most significant undertaking in the development of Ashram has begun. The Hungarian Yoga Association’s ashram has been developed from donations of the Hungarian and international Satyananda Yoga community since 2006. Over the past years we have received countless selfless donations, ranging from a few Euros to tens of thousands, and now now we once again ask the members of the community for help.  After detailed planning and thorough preparation, in 2021 we began constructing the main building, a two-storey house with over 900 square meters of usable floor space, which will enable us to offer programs all year and provide home for those interested in the yogic lifestyle. The foundations and the supporting structure are already complete. The next phase, the masonry and concrete slab, which cost nearly € 45,000  – will require additional funding. Therefore, we ask all those who have the will and means to contribute to the development of the ashram to support the construction with a donation. Thank you in advance!

Ahkanda Kirtan

8-hour mantra singing, 16-18 August

Akhanda kirtan is a potent and easy means to capture the mind. While singing kirtan the mind is filled with sattwa, pure vibrations, and supreme peace and joy are experienced. It purifies the heart and gives many other benefits. No other practice will induce divine, ecstatic states as quickly and as powerfully as akhanda kirtan.
