“The Art of Balanced Living”

Harmonising Your Material Duties with Your Spiritual Dharma

A mini-retreat with Nayaswamis Jyotish & Devi, followed by a free public talk in Pune

Join us for a weekend of inspiration with Jyotish and Devi!

How can we find time for our spiritual life and at the same time fulfill all of our responsibilities to families and job? When we manage to balance this equation, our daily lives become an extension of our spiritual practices, and we are able to make more rapid progress in both areas.
In this course you will find inspiration and practical exercises for:

• Using your time more wisely, both for spiritual practices and at work
• Increasing the energy and emotional stamina you have available
• Dealing with stressful situations and aggressive people with an attitude of inner calm and intuitiveunderstanding
• Being true to your inner values and principles
• Becoming aware of the thought and behavior patterns that lead you to a state of imbalance
• Steps for correcting a state of imbalance
• Guidelines for balanced eating
• Making and maintaining priorities and commitments
• Exercises and practices to disengage your mind quickly when you want to meditate
• Practices for focusing your mind and energies quickly while working
• Integrating your spiritual practices with your family life.

This weekend will start Friday evening, with a special question & answer session with Jyotish and Devi after dinner (about 8pm-8:30). There will be two classes on  Saturday, one from 10:30 to 12:30, and the other from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. On Sunday morning from 11 to 12:30, Jyotish & Devi will be giving a free public talk: “Paramhansa Yogananda – Avatar of the Modern Age”. This will be held at YASHADA, on Baner road in Baner, Pune. For this reason, breakfast will be served at 8AM for those wishing to leave for this talk.

With the passing of Swami Kriyananda in 2013, Nayaswami Jyotish was named by Kriyananda as his spiritual successor. Jyotishji met Swami Kriyananda in 1966, working closely with him and his wife, Devi (who came to Ananda in 1969), to build Ananda’s work around the world. Both Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi were named kriyacharyas by Swami Kriyananda, and can now disseminate the liberating and ancient Kriya Yoga technique of Paramhansa Yogananda’s lineage.
