After the success of the "Kriyaban Intensive" Retreat which was held in September 2022, we are now happy to announce the dates of our  “Kriyaban Intensive" retreat in December 2022 at Paramahansa Yogananda Sadhanalaya, Igatpuri.

As mentioned earlier, in our September invitation, Gurudeva's priceless precepts in his New Enhanced Lessons have to be practiced and experienced. This retreat will give us the opportunity to do so.
This “Kriyaban Intensive” retreat will be an intense one with a strict regimen: silence, meditation, practicing the presence of God, rising early, no use of cell phone or reading newspaper, all effort will be made towards interiorization and connecting with the Higher Self... All those confident of being able to sustain such a schedule are invited to enroll for this retreat.

As the name suggests, the “Kriyaban Intensive” retreat programme is open to all Yogoda Satsanga members who have received the sacred Kriya Yoga initiation and the New Enhanced Kriya Yoga Lessons 1-5.

The retreat will commence at 11a.m. on Monday, December 19, 2022 and will close at 9 a.m. on Sunday, December 25, 2022, after breakfast. Please note that those desirous of participating in this retreat will have to participate in the entire programme. One may plan to arrive a day earlier and leave a day later, if one wishes to do so.

Accommodation will be on a single occupancy basis; members from the same family will also be housed separately. We will be accepting only 24 registrations for this retreat.

May we find solace in the following words of promise of our former Sanghamata and President, Sri Sri Daya Mataji:

“Those of you who meditate and are in tune, find in Guruji’s printed words his same ever-living spirit, the same power of his intoxicating divine love and truth, that uplifts and transforms your consciousness. When you study the Guru’s teachings, try to absorb them not only intellectually but with the effort to understand their depth and application to your own life.”
