This three days programme was conducted by Swami Sri Krishnananda ji. The Retreat was attended by 36 devotees from HP, Chandigarh, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi and UP.
The programme on all the three days featured Interactive Satsanga focusing on devotion/bhakti -yoga by Swami ji. There were references mainly from “God Talks with Arjuna” and Guru ji’s lessons. Bhajans and video show heightened the very spirit of devotion in the programme.
Group and individual meditation and energization exercises were done routinely on all the days.
These 3 days were spent in Anand Shikhar by Swamiji repeating, reminding and reinforcing the importance of devotion in our spiritual journey. This was brought about by many different and wonderful ways. Every day’s morning meditation started with the recital of one chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. The interactive session saw many devotees sharing their personal experiences of perceiving Guruji’s grace in their lives thus reinforcing their faith and trust in Guruji.
On the day of Janmashtami, many devotees fasted but the kitchen staff took special care to provide delicious food and fruits to the fasting devotees. From 8 to 9 pm there was the Bhagavad Gita recital just a few hours before the Lord’s birth followed by beautiful and soulful rendition of bhajans by Diwakarji and a young new devotee both of whom were assisted by a sitarist and a tabla player with Swamiji playing one of the musical instruments continuously from 9 pm-12 midnight.
