“Symbolically, when the student goes to the Teacher, he takes an empty lota –a metal vessel used for drinking, carrying, or drawing water from a well. You say to your Teacher: 'This is what I am, an empty vessel; please fill me with your energy
and wisdom.' You cannot go to the Teacher filled with your old ideas and conditioning to receive the true knowledge; you have to discard the old and familiar habits in order to become an empty vessel to receive. You have to empty body, mind and senses and be ready to receive the energy of joy and bliss, so that you can live your life to the fullest."
- Sri Svami Purna

Life is a Celebration, A Celebration of Truth and of Love.

Join us for a unique, special Retreat and Guru Purnima Celebration in a beautiful and relaxed setting with HH Sri Svamiji Purna Ji Maharaj (Sri Svamiji). We will enjoy intimate sessions of dialogue and discourse with Sri Svamiji, sacred ceremony, joyful kirtanam and music offerings with ParaNadam, as well as periods of silent contemplation and personal sadhana.

Retreats offer several days of concentrated immersion in Sri Svamiji’s Teachings and the direct, intense experience of His Divine Presence, Grace and Energy. Retreats are a powerful catalyst for individual inner growth, facilitating greater dedication and commitment to one’s Path in a loving, supportive, healing, and uplifting environment. 

Retreats center around Sri Svamiji’s discourses on the Vedic Sanatan Dharma and the science of yoga. These encompass different techniques and practices for developing a healthy and balanced lifestyle and spiritual fulfillment. Question and answer/Divine Dialogue- sessions provide the opportunity for students to ask Sri Svamiji about challenges they may be experiencing (that may be helpful for others) or more general questions about the Highest Truth. There is an opportunity to make a musical offering in gratitude for the Teaching in the Guru Purnima Tradition by indicating an interest in advance by email to us.

As our time together will support moving away from the mundane daily activities and gliding into more unitive experiences silence is encouraged during Retreat the outside sessions in order to enable contemplation and greatest benefit for all attending.
