*Swamiji about recently concluded Pocono Retreat*
Dear Devotees,
Day after day, in the humdrum of daily existence, we are surrounded by a worldy environment that naturally pulls our minds towards it. The Retreat presented us with an atmosphere insulated from materialistic hinderances, where we could soar to sublime heights of contemplation. I am sure that the people who attended the retreat would in retrospect analyse that it was one of the best decisions they made, and they would have regretted greatly if they had missed this opportunity.
Attending such retreats is very important for those desirous of making substantial spiritual progress. We must build into our calender, days that we spend in isolation from material disturbances, and focus on nourishing our soul. Such spiritual rejuvenation not only lifts our consciousness, but also enables us to maintain it when we return to our daily routine.
We will be conducting the second and final retreat in the US for this year during the Labour Day Weekend, from 5th to 7th September. This time it will be in Dallas. We will cover new lecture topics, meditational themes, and kirtans, as we go deeper into the various sciences of Jagadguru Kripalu Yog. Overall, it will again be a one-in- a-million Blissful spiritual holiday.
So, make the most of it. Plan early, and book your flight tickets well in advance. To encourage participation from outside the state of Texas, I have spoken to the Dallas organizers to offer a special discount price. Will leave it to them to inform you about it. Or read about it on www.jkyog.org.
Ever well-wisher, Swamiji
