AF are centres, societies and groups affiliated to the Association of Himalayan Yoga Meditation Societies; (a) some of these were founded by Swami Rama of the Himalayas, may have changed their names since then, but continue to work under the guidance of the original teacher and have Swami Veda Bharati as their spiritual guide, (b) others are established by various teachers under the guidance of Swami Veda Bharati since the physical departure of Swami Rama of the Himalayas.

FA are centres, societies and groups established by Swami Rama of the Himalayas and by various teachers under his direction, and now maintain friendly and fraternal relationship with Swami Veda Bharati, sometimes seeking guidance, and supporting his work.

IT are independent teachers teaching in different continents and cities in accordance with the Himalayan Yoga Meditation tradition and in friendly association with the Association of the Himalayan Yoga Meditation Societies and Swami Veda Bharati.
