SUMMARY:Sacred Journey:  Jun 15 - Jul 27
DESCRIPTION:SACRED JOURNEY: Living Purposefully & Dying Gracefully\nMONDAY EVENINGS\, 6:30 – 8:30pm ET\nJune 15 – July 27\, 2026\nPresented by Leonard (Ram Lev) & Jenness Perlmutter \nLEVEL II: To understand the purpose of life\, we must try to understand the relationship between life and death. The two are partners––each providing a context for the other. Death is not the end\, but merely a pause in an eternal journey. When both birth and death are understood and accepted\, we see how our human life fits into the eternal journey of the soul\, the fear of death subsides and life can be lived more skillfully and joyfully. Based on the ancient Katha Upanishad\, this course reveals how to organize your life in practical\, commonsensical ways that lead to expansion and growth and that is helpful in preparing for the great transition we call death. Every AMI student is encouraged to attend! \nView full course informationThis class will take place online via ZOOM.\nAMI offers you the opportunity to participate from the comfort of your own home or from anywhere in the world.  Participation takes place in real time.  Classes are recorded and links are made available to participants following each class.  \nUpon receipt of your registration\, instructions on how to access the meeting room will be sent to you via e-mail. No special computer equipment is required.  Our distance learning classes are compatible with most major browsers\, tablets and phones.  If you would like to check specific system requirements\, visit the ZOOM website by clicking here. \n\nRequired Reading\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n						\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		Sacred Journey: Living Purposefully and Dying Gracefully by Swami Rama	\n\n\n\n	$12.95\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\nAdd to cart	\n			\n\n\n	Details\n\n\n	\n	\n\n	 \n\n\nRecommended Reading\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n						\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		Essence of the Upanishads by Eknath Easwaran	\n\n\n\n	$17.95\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\nAdd to cart	\n			\n\n\n	Details

SUMMARY:The Chakra System:  Mar 2 - 16
DESCRIPTION:THE CHAKRA SYSTEM: Balancing the Body’s Subtle Energies\nMonday Evenings  •  March 2 – 16\, 2026  •  6:30 – 8:30pm ET\nPresented by Leonard (Ram Lev) & Jenness Perlmutter \nLEVEL II:  The Chakra System is a psychological and physiological diagnostic tool to help you creatively and compassionately understand and heal the body.  The power to attain our own perfect health lies within each of us.  It is simply a matter of  attaining the necessary knowledge\, and then cultivating our determination and will to employ the knowledge we have learned.  This course provides a detailed understanding of the meaning\, anatomy and function of the seven major chakras. When knowledge of the subtler aspects of the chakras is understood and incorporated into your daily practice\, consciousness is freed from the downward inertia of fear-filled\, animal nature and allowed to rise to the higher centers of consciousness. When the energy of the chakras is balanced\, you are freed from the debilitating power of fear\, anger and greed and your consciousness can rise to higher centers of creativity. In addition\, advanced healing practices that work through the energy of the subtle body will help open\, energize and ground you. These advanced\, yogic mind/body medicine practices will increase your vitality and concentration and help you rediscover your inner source of physical\, mental and emotional health and contentment. \nView full course informationThis course is offered in-person at the AMI Home Center and online via ZOOM.\nAll classes are recorded and links are made available to you following each class.  \nIf attending via ZOOM\, meeting room information will be sent to you via e-mail within the week prior to the start of the class.  No special computer equipment is required.  Our distance learning classes are compatible with most major browsers\, tablets and phones.  If you would like to check specific system requirements\, visit the ZOOM website by clicking here. \n\nRecommended Reading\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n						\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		Path of Fire and Light I by Swami Rama	\n\n\n\n	$14.95\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\nAdd to cart	\n			\n\n\n	Details\n\n\n	\n	\n\n	 \n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n						\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		Path of Fire and Light Vol II by Swami Rama	\n\n\n\n	$14.95\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\nAdd to cart	\n			\n\n\n	Details

SUMMARY:Jesus's Secret Life in India
DESCRIPTION:Jesus’s Secret Life in India:His Teachings of Yoga Science\nSunday Morning\, December 21\, 2025   •  9:30am – 11:00am ETPresented by Leonard (Ram Lev) & Jenness Perlmutter\nLIVE:  Attend on ZOOM or in-person at the AMI Home Center\n“If you bring forth what is within you\, what you bring forth will save you.If you do not bring forth what is within you\, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” \n– Jesus the Christ\, Gospel of St. Thomas \nTo understand the historical context into which Jesus was born\, and that eventually led him to study in India\, Leonard & Jenness trace the spiritual and cultural influences of a rather small Jewish sect known as the Essenes. The Essenes are believed to have taught and followed an esoteric religious philosophy and practice that was derived from the ancient Science of Yoga and the Egyptian Mysteries––and which eventually influenced Judaism\, Buddhism\, Christianity and Islam. According to Perlmutter\, “Members of the Essenes included Moses\, Aaron\, Isaiah\, Saint John the Baptist\, Jeremiah\, as well as Joachim and Anna of Nazareth\, who gave birth to their daughter Miryam (or Mary)\, the future wife of Joseph and mother of Jesus.” \nPlease join us on Sunday from the comfort of your own home anywhere in the world to hear about Jesus’ Teaching of Yoga Science.  AMI will be streaming this event live on Zoom.  No special software or computer equipment is required. \nCOMPLETE AND SUBMIT THE FORM BELOW TO GET THE ZOOM MEETING INFORMATION. \nEmail correspondence with the meeting room and recording link will be sent to the address entered on this form. \n\n\n\n\nFREE Sunday Meditation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    First Name\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Last Name\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Email address\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Phone\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Address\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    City\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    State\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Zipcode\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    reCAPTCHA\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n		\n		\n	\n\nSubmit\n\n\n\n	\n			\n			\n				If you are human\, leave this field blank.			\n			\n		\n		\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT HAPPENS AT YOUR SUNDAY AMI MEDITATION AND SATSANG?\nThe schedule will be approximately: \n9:30 – 9:35       Welcome and announcements\n9:35 – 10:10     Guided meditation by Leonard (Ram Lev)\n10:10 – 10:30   Leonard (Ram Lev) will share a reading\n10:30 – 11:00   Satsang (a practical\, interactive discussion led by Leonard (Ram Lev) and Jenness Perlmutter) \nWHAT KIND OF MEDITATION DO YOU PRACTICE?\nThe seated meditation practiced at AMI is known as mantra meditation. You simply sit in a straight-back chair with your head\, neck and trunk straight\, or on the floor with your legs in a cross-legged yoga posture if that is more comfortable. You will be asked to close your eyes and concentrate your silent attention on any name of the Divine Reality that you are most familiar and comfortable with. \nDo not worry if you have not been given a mantra from a qualified teacher; that is true for a large number of the participants. Here are some suggestions from different traditions:  \n\nJesus\nLord Jesus Christ\nAve Maria\nBarukh attah Adonai\nAllah\nRama\nOm namaha Shivaya\nOm mani padme hum\n\nThe actual period for meditation begins with the sound of a bell. A reading and group discussion follow the meditation. \nHOW SHOULD I DRESS FOR THE MEDITATION SESSION?\nLoose\, comfortable clothing is best. \nIS THERE A CHARGE?\nNo\, the Sunday AMI MEDITATION and satsang is free. When we met in person\, we gratefully accepted donations. If you are so moved\, you can always make an online donation here to AMI to support all our teaching classes\, workshops and visiting speakers.

SUMMARY:Sacred Journey:  Jul 21 - Sep 1
DESCRIPTION:SACRED JOURNEY: Living Purposefully & Dying Gracefully\nMonday Evenings: July 21 – September 1\nPresented by Leonard (Ram Lev) & Jenness Perlmutter \nLEVEL II: To understand the purpose of life\, we must try to understand the relationship between life and death. The two are partners––each providing a context for the other. Death is not the end\, but merely a pause in an eternal journey. When both birth and death are understood and accepted as parts of the human journey\, then the fear of death subsides and life can be lived more fully and joyfully. Based on the ancient Katha Upanishad\, this course reveals how to organize one’s life in a way that leads to expansion and growth and that is helpful in preparing for the great transition we call death. Recommended for therapists and hospice workers\, as well as the general public. \nView full course informationThis class will take place online via ZOOM.\nAMI offers you the opportunity to participate from the comfort of your own home or from anywhere in the world.  Participation takes place in real time.  Classes are recorded and links are made available to participants following each class.  \nUpon receipt of your registration\, instructions on how to access the meeting room will be sent to you via e-mail. No special computer equipment is required.  Our distance learning classes are compatible with most major browsers\, tablets and phones.  If you would like to check specific system requirements\, visit the ZOOM website by clicking here. \n\nRequired Reading\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n						\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		Sacred Journey: Living Purposefully and Dying Gracefully by Swami Rama	\n\n\n\n	$12.95\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\nAdd to cart	\n			\n\n\n	Details\n\n\n	\n	\n\n	 \n\n\nRecommended Reading\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n						\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		Essence of the Upanishads by Eknath Easwaran	\n\n\n\n	$17.95\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\nAdd to cart	\n			\n\n\n	Details

SUMMARY:Yoga Psychology:  Jun 9 - Jul 14
DESCRIPTION:YOGA PSYCHOLOGY: The Bhagavad Gita’s Mind/Body Connection & Perennial Wisdom\nMonday Evenings\, 6:30 – 8:30pm ET\nJune 9 – July 14\nChapter 4\nPresented by Leonard (Ram Lev) & Jenness Perlmutter \nLEVEL II: According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control\, 53 percent of all illness is attributable to lifestyle choice. This in-depth Bhagavad Gita study will deepen your understanding of how skillful actions and wise choices can effect your entire well-being. The Bhagavad Gita is a practical spiritual handbook for Self-Realization and daily life that teaches you how to be creative and confident in every circumstance. It describes two paths in life — an upward path that leads to fulfillment and a downward path that leads to sorrow. These classes provide you the unique opportunity to deepen your meditation practice. This course is especially recommended for earnest students and therapists. No previous Bhagavad Gita preparation is necessary. \nView full course informationThis course is offered in-person at the AMI Home Center and online via ZOOM.\nAll classes are recorded and links are made available to you following each class.  \nIf attending via ZOOM\, meeting room information will be sent to you via e-mail within the week prior to the start of the class.  No special computer equipment is required.  Our distance learning classes are compatible with most major browsers\, tablets and phones.  If you would like to check specific system requirements\, visit the ZOOM website by clicking here. \n\nRequired Reading\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n						\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		Perennial Psychology of the Bhagavad Gita by Swami Rama	\n\n\n\n	$19.95\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\nAdd to cart	\n			\n\n\n	Details
