Hariharalaya Yoga and Meditation Retreat Center

Cambodia is a land of smiles, magic and wonder. Slow down and take a step back in time. Explore the wild and mysterious jungles and temples of Angkor.

The sacred healing gardens of Hariharalaya grow in the shade of these great pyramid temples. We are surrounded by ancient beauty and power.

The real treasures are within you. They are buried in your breath, in your spine, in your cells. Yoga is inner alchemy. It is the science and art of life. 🔥

We approach yoga with a simple, daily process for awakening your body, heart and mind. Our program is accessible and profound for all levels of experience. 🌴

The Lotus Pond at Hariharalaya is a magical place to find yourself in the present moment. The lotus represents the divine feminine and is connected with the sun.

The Angkor temples were overflowing with lotus ponds to attract divine power and grace. Come and immerse yourself in nature and connect with the sacred vibrations of Mother Earth.

Authentic connection is an important part of cleansing and awakening. It helps to move the Energy and circulate it through your body. Many people find it difficult and uncomfortable because they are shy. They have been told that they can’t do it and they believed it. Many people wrongly assume that they can’t laugh, can’t be happy, can’t smile. They believe that they have to look serious and play the part."

"If you want to know the Real, the True, you must first get out of the way. This should come as a relief, a release from all of this effort and trying. But somewhere along the way we forgot how to rest and relax. We can’t help ourselves. We don’t even know what we are doing most of the time."

"It is not through the mind that the Awakening will come, but through your Heart. In the Silence and Stillness of the Peaceful, Present Heart, we realize that the Awakening already Is. It is not a future event nor is it some event in the distant past that only historical figures have lived. The Awakening is each and every moment, everywhere, always."

P L A Y

"At some point you learned how to walk, you learned how to talk, you learned how to use a computer, you learned how to speak a new language, you learned how to play a musical instrument. Whatever you have learned, the process involved some tension, some growing pains. It is the same with this process of Awakening. There are going to be growing pains. If you had given up at the first sign of resistance, you would still be crawling."

Foundations of Stillness (Joel Altman)

"The Pure Mind, the True Self, is like the infinite Space, containing and supporting everything, but unaffected, never tainted, never stained. For just a moment stop focusing your attention on the changing objects and Instead shift your attention, train yourself, to see the Infinite field of Space in which everything occurs. All of
the senses, the objects of perception, all of the joys and disappointments, the elements, time, Self and not Self all occurring in Space. Dissolve back into Space, the Ocean of Consciousness. Float in the Ocean of Being, where one is One and two is One."

"It starts with Self Love and Acceptance. Then naturally, by nourishing the seed of Love in your Heart, it will grow and embrace Everything. It is really not so complicated. It is actually quite simple. Success is being at home in the Heart, the present moment, right here, right now. Then no matter where you go, no matter how you get there, you will always be right here and now."

'There are many branches on this magical tree of Yoga. There are many tools for Awakening. The gift is to truly and deeply experience it, to step out of the mind.

We spend so much time in our minds analyzing and trying to figure everything out. Now we are stuck with all of this confusion and regret, all of this hesitation. Unlike the animals and plants who are all very direct, immediate, spontaneous and alive.

Chanting is a vehicle to bring us back into the Immediacy of Life, back into this Aliveness, back into the Now.'

'Allow each and every one of your cells to soften, to loosen, to relax. Only in this state of deep Peace and Relaxation can we enter into the Timeless Being that we are.

As long as we are grasping onto any ideas or ideals of what should be or could be or what they said it would be, then we will never directly experience Life and Reality. We will remain trapped in our ideas and conceptions – in the false.

Embrace the Real. Embrace the Wholeness. This is Meditation. This is Love. This is Wisdom.'

THE GREAT JOURNEY

"Risk everything to discover the Oneness! We are on the great journey, the adventure of Life. This is the way
to lasting Peace, Joy and Wisdom. This is the way to lay down your critical, judging, analytical minds and
rest your weary, throbbing, fearful hearts.

Oneness is not another human perspective. It is not the result of adding this and this and this and that. It is the underlying field of experience, the canvas of creation upon which all thought, emotion, form, color, vibration and life arises and falls. It is the support of all the cells, molecules, atoms and quarks. It is also the very
substance of all form, thought and emotion. Just as the sky touches and embraces every nook and cranny of
this earth, the Oneness embraces, interpenetrates, and fills every aspect of existence - from the inside out and
from the outside in."

Joel Altman (Foundations of Stillness)

"Don’t look for a reason. There is no reason or justification for the essential nature of Being. Live free of all conditions! This is true Freedom. No matter where you are and what you have, if you are still chasing after objects and relationships to fulfill yourself, you will encounter endless suffering and disappointment. Be fulfilled in this very moment. Be whole right here and now. Don’t look for any reason.

You will never find it. There is no reason. What is the reason for the flower, the reason for the sun, the reason for the dawn and the dew, the reason for the color of the fish? They simply are! Life simply Is! You simply are!"

Sri Brahmam, 81 year old self realized sage in the advaita vedanta tradition of Ramana Maharshi, has returned to Hariharalaya for 2 weeks of spiritual discourse, meditation and blessings.

His profound teaching and presence is deeply inspiring. You can find the videos of the talks online here - https://m.youtube.com/

"In deep sleep your mind and ego merge back into the supreme power. In deep sleep, your ego, mind, very naturally merge into the supreme power of God. You have no address. No body, no mind. Is there any effort for deep sleep? Are you following any spiritual methods for deep sleep? No. It is very natural. If you make any effort for deep sleep, then there is no deep sleep. It is effortless. Effortless means natural.

Self realization is also natural. There is no effort in deep sleep. There is no need for any effort in the waking state as well. Now in the waking state you must be natural as if you are in deep sleep. Don’t follow any methods. There are no methods in deep sleep, so don’t follow any methods."
