Report of Retreat on Bhakti Yoga in the Gita from 23-25 August, 2013

The programme on all the three days featured Satsanga focusing on devotion/bhakti yoga by Swami ji. There were references mainly from “God Talks with Arjuna” and Guru ji’s lessons. The importance of devotion in deepening attunement with Guru and God was very well brought out by Swami ji in his discourses which was greatly appreciated by the devotees. Post lunch session was kept for group discussion during which devotees shared their own experiences on devotion and they also referred to YSS books and read out stories of bhaktas from scriptures. Devotees felt immensely benefited.
