It was a five days programme, conducted by Swami Sri Krishnananda ji. 44 devotees from HP, UP, Delhi, Haryana, Uttrakhand, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu attended the programme. Eight SRF devotees were from USA, Italy, Mexico and Australia.
The main objective of this retreat was to develop a deep interest among devotees to pursue the study of the Bhagwad Gita scripture through GTWA because the same would help them in their spiritual practice as taught by Guru ji.
On the first day, the programme started with Gita Chanting and opening satsanga. Gita Chanting and satsangas were conducted by Swami ji on all the days in the forenoon. Satsanga focused on Gyana Yoga, Raj Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga based on the commentary of Guru ji as given in the “God Talks With Arjuna”.
Devotees were asked to study, individually, some specific chapters of GTWA and note down their doubts and questions. In the afternoon daily, Swami ji answered various questions/ doubts submitted by devotees. After dinner, devotees enjoyed a video show on Mahbharata focusing on the dialogues between Lord Krishna and Arjuna.
There were also Bhajan sessions on two days which gave a very inspiring and devotional touch to the whole programme.
Besides, energization exercises and meditation (group and individual) were done every day, both in the morning and evening.
Some of the feedbacks received from devotees are as follows:
