Meditation, Yoga & Satsang Online
The Spring Equinox is around the corner. As the flowers begin to bloom again, so do our prayers for a world free from the pandemic. India began the slow reopening of its borders back in December. Many people have since travelled to attend our Silent Retreats again in the Shanti Mandiram here at Amritapuri.
All of the spring retreats listed below are available both live and online, BUT before making any travel arrangements, please contact internationalvisit@amritapuri.org to get the ashram’s most up-to-date rules and regulations.
Virtually Silent
3-Day Silent Retreat
w/ Rasya & Vinod
May 5-8, 2022 and
w/ Narendra & Br. Mitramrita
May 12-15, 2022
Since the start of the pandemic, Amrita Silent Retreats has grown into a worldwide family of more than 4000 practitioners. Over these two years, many hearts have been touched and inspired through online meditation, yoga, scripture, and satsang. In a time of isolation, Amma gave us community.
As the world begins to turn the page, let’s refine our practice together.
Join the ashram renunciates and karma yogis for this 3-day retreat with minimal guidance from the instructors. Few instructions, simple music and chants will serve as springboards into practice.
Together let’s embrace the world with our silent presence.
Bhagavad Gita & Yoga Retreat Part 3
The Art of Mind Management
w/ Br. Atmaprakash Chaitanya, Br. Mitramrita Chaintanya & Narendra
June 7 – 12, 2022
‘The Art of mind management is important not only for seekers, but for every single human being.’ – Amma
In life we are taught how to do everything. And yet, somehow, we are never taught how to manage our own minds.
Br. Atmaprakash puts it this way:
‘Simply having a harmonium doesn’t make you a musician. It takes years of training to learn to play well. Likewise, just having a mind isn’t enough. We must learn to master it with sustained, systematic practice.’
In this Bhagavad Gita & Yoga retreat, the third in our series, Br. Atmaprakash will share several mind management techniques given to us by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita.
Continuing with this theme, Narendra and Br. Mitramrita will guide a series of yoga asana sequences, gently inviting the body and mind to develop awareness, strength, commitment, self-understanding, and acceptance.
Monthlong Silent Retreat 2022
October 4 -31, 2022
‘These 28 days were a breath of fresh air for my heart and soul. All the sounds of Amritapuri–the song of the birds, the patter of rain on the roof, the ancient prayers lofting on the wind– and this remarkable Amma family– came together to support this precious journey of self discovery.’
–Diana Patricia Giraldo Rios, Brazil
Our annual Monthlong Silent Retreat provides a rare opportunity to dive deep into practice and attune to the centerpoint of stillness within. Focusing on meditation, yoga, satsang and scriptural study in Amma’s Divine presence for a full month is a life transforming experience.
This retreat takes us back to that touchstone of silence– right here, just a breath away. Moment by moment, each conscious breath, each conscious step takes us back to that place of peace within and ripples out to the entire world. As Amma assures us “Spiritual practice brings peace to our own mind and helps to restore both the balance of nature and the harmony of the world.”
Together let’s make a difference and embrace the entire world with our practice.
Join the Amrita Silent Retreat community in this world-wide-web of love, to practice together for the Monthlong 2022.

How an Online Retreat Works
Your day of practice begins at 6:30 a.m. no matter where you are in the world. You continue the day following the retreat schedule in your own time zone.
The schedule has been designed observing the traditional daily times for spiritual practice. As the earth turns, each of you will greet the new day with lamp lighting and spiritual exercises, then pass the torch westward until the entire earth is encircled with the radiance of our practice.
“Thank you for encouraging us at home to follow the schedule in our time zone. It really freed me from the desire to do it simultaneously with Amritapuri and kept that extra level of stress out of the mix. It was beautiful to think of others in my time zone doing the practices along with me.” – Ananda Devi, USA
*For participants located in time zones ahead of Indian Standard Time (IST), we encourage you to start the retreat one day later. For example, if the orientation for the retreat is April 16th, your orientation will be on April 17th, and if the first full day of practice is April 17th, your first full day of practice will be April 18th*
