This worldwide retreat dedicated to Kriya Yoga offers instruction and fellowship for everyone from beginning meditators to Kriyabans (those who have received initiation into the technique of Kriya Yoga). Some activities will take place with everyone together as one group. Other activities will be split into three groups, according to level of meditation practice. Kriya Yoga initiation will be offered to those who are eligible and higher Kriya initiations to Kriyabans who are qualified.
Both the Kriya Yoga Retreat and the Mahasamadhi Retreat will include experiential workshops. Led by Ananda teachers from India, Europe and America, these workshops will give us the spiritual tools we need and can practice at home to permanently change our lives. Another important element will be group practice of sadhana, including kirtan, meditation, Yogananda's Energisation Exercises, and asanas. Personal instruction in spiritual techniques at various levels will be available from Ananda teachers. Both retreats will be held at DLF Phase I Community Centre, Block F-6, near Arjun Marg & Bodhi Marg, Gurgaon.
All spiritual activities are free of charge to Indian residents. Donations gratefully accepted, especially to cover food costs for the retreats.
