These retreat programmes are open to all devotees: men, women, and married couples. Men and women will be accommodated separately. There may be some exceptions in case of married couples of age 65 years and above.

These retreats will include group meditations, spiritual discourses, a video show on Guruji, and review of meditation techniques by Yogoda Satsanga sannyasis. The participants are urged to maintain silence during the retreat to deepen their attunement with Guruji and to build their inner environment.

If you wish to participate in any of these retreat programmes, please inform the concerned Ashram/Kendra/Sadhanalaya at least one month before that retreat, giving your full name, address, telephone number, e-mail identity, Lessons Registration Number, age, and dates of your proposed arrival and departure. You will then receive a confirmation about your registration. There may be a registration fee which you need to pay in advance. Please contact the concerned Ashram/Kendra/ Sadhanalaya for details.

Guruji said: “Everything has its place, but when you waste time at the cost of your true happiness it is not good. I dropped every unnecessary activity so that I could meditate and try to know God, so that I could day and night be in His divine consciousness.”
