Meditation, Yoga & Satsang Online

Monthlong Silent Retreat

October 23 – November 20, 2024

For Experienced Practitioners

“Finally, I found the door into the way back home, to myself. True happiness I find inside.”  – Marianne Frei-Andrae, Switzerland

In this age of instant communication, it can be so easy to get lost in the noise, frenzy and endless activity of modern life. But there is a way back to slow time, peace and inner joy – the Monthlong Silent Retreat.

Immerse yourself in meditation, yoga, satsang and scripture for a full month. Take time for yourself, connect with Amma, and reestablish daily practice as part of your routine.

As we meditate together, our world-wide practice family will be enveloping the entire world with profound vibrations of peace.

This year we are blessed to have Br. Atmaprakash Chaitanya and Bri. Amrita Chaitanya joining us to share their wisdom of the scriptures.

Br. Atmaprakash will be illuminating the Sadhana Panchakam, composed by the incomparable sage, Adi Sankara. Each of the 5 verses is a gem, illuminating the path to inner peace, self-mastery, and ultimate liberation. The verses contain 8 instructions making a total of 40 profound instructions remarkable for their deep insight to reveal the essence of Sadhana at every stage of one’s spiritual growth.

Bri. Amrita will be teaching the Madalasa Upadesha from the Markandeya Purana. It is a lullaby composed and sung by a wise queen to her young son. Through these verses, the queen encourages detachment from the material world and emphasize the importance of self-knowledge and inner peace.

New Retreat Structure

Over the past 3 years many participants have shared that our Online Silent Retreats have been a silver lining amidst the clouds, connecting them to Amma and inspiring them in their daily sadhana (spiritual practice) routine.

Recently we have been wondering if our online retreats had served their purpose and run their course, so we asked Amma if we should continue. With Her uniquely radiant smile, Amma replied, “YES!”. She asked us to make ALL of our Silent Retreats available online going forward.

To better serve you, we have designed a NEW retreat option for those of you who are too busy to participate in full retreats.
