The legend of Savitri inspires and shows the power of determination fueled by unconditional love. Princess Savitri was so beautiful and intelligent that she intimidated all the princes in the land, and none were bold enough to ask for her hand. Her father told her to go forth and find a husband worthy of her. 

She finds her perfect match in Satyavan, a prince who had been exiled with the rest of his family, and cursed to die in one year’s time. She chooses him anyway. 

After a year Yama, the god of death, comes to claim Satyavan. Savitri bests Yama at his own game by a feat of brilliance. 

This festival celebrates our innate ability to shape reality with the power of "Samyama," intense focused attention, for the benefit of all. Samyama is one of the many life-changing results of Yogic practice. Join us to learn how to bring these practices into your life!

Each festival at Sat Manav Yoga Ashram is a rare opportunity and offering to the public to step out of daily life and travel back in time to a pure Yoga Ashram reminiscent of ancient India. A day of inspiring intensives, illuminating discourse, uplifting ceremony, incredible food and live music...all in an idyllic mountain setting! Join us!
