“In a place helpful to the mind and pleasing to the eyes, in a hidden retreat, let the aspirant cultivate spirituality.”
Svetasvatara Upanisad
An aspirant on the spiritual path yearns to grow in love and service to God. However, no matter how dedicated the aspirant is, living in the material world poses its own set of distractions from this goal. It requires inner strength and piety to deal with everyday challenges and maintain an attitude of love and service to the divine. Sometimes the aspirant can feel drained and in need of spiritual inspiration.
The importance of spiritual retreats in this regard has been long upheld by the ancient Indian scriptures. In fact every religious tradition understands the need to cultivate one’s devotional sentiments in a conducive atmosphere away from distraction. This not only puts you on the fast track to spiritual growth but also recharges
and equips your physical and emotional self to practice living in the world without being attached to it. It is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
Come away in 2015 to JKYog Retreats with Swami Mukundananda in Fresno, Dallas and New Jersey. Swamiji is a unique sanyasi (renunciate), with a distinguished technical and management background that complements his profound spiritual knowledge. His lectures, words of wisdom, guidance and quotes are widely sought after by devotees, students and people from all walks of life. For the last quarter of a century, Shree Swamiji has been traveling far & wide, awakening thousands of seekers. The hallmark of his lectures is the ease with which he dispels misnomers associated with the various paths of God-realization, and convinces even the toughest minds using the power of logic and scriptural proof. He is also the founder of the Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog System – a unique combination of Yoga, Pranayam, Subtle Body Relaxation, Meditation and proper diet, engineered for spiritual growth. JKYog retreat with Swamiji is a 3 day family friendly affair that will give you the opportunity to experience a profound inner transformation through prayer, discourses, meditation, kirtan (devotional chanting), yoga and philosophical enquiry. Kids are not left out either- the Bal-Mukund program for children run by JKYog volunteers ensures that children are kept occupied in a productive way thereby freeing up time for you to focus on spirituality.
Learn the secrets of spiritual practise in tranquil surroundings. Hear and rejoice in the sweet divine pastimes of Radha and Krishna. Partake in the nectar of devotional bhajans led by Swamiji.
