What is Yoga Science?
The American Meditation Institute is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational organization devoted to providing comprehensive training in Yoga Science—the world’s oldest holistic mind/body medicine and the core principle of every spiritual tradition. Yoga is the sacred science that provides proven benefits by facilitating the union of the superconscious mind with the physical, mental and emotional elements of everyday life. Founded in 1996 by Leonard and Jenness Perlmutter, AMI combines ancient Eastern wisdom and modern Western science in a practical, empowering curriculum. The foundation course of this curriculum is AMI MEDITATION.

The celebration of Guru Purnima reminds us that the purpose of life is to attain the wisdom that dispels the darkness of ignorance. The word Guru is a holy word that means the source of wisdom. There is only one life force, and there is only one Guru. Deep within the center of our being resides Guru. Let each of us guide our mental energy to that Light from which all consciousness flows. Let us increasingly reflect Its perfection in mind, action and speech. #GuruPurnima #AMIMeditation #SwamiRama
