SUMMARY:Christmas Weekend Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Christmas Weekend Retreat\n22 – 25 December\nwith Nayaswami Devarshi and the Ananda Monks \nJoin the Ananda Sangha family\, along with the Ananda monks\, for a traditional Ananda Christmas\, much as Swami Kriyanandaji would lead over the years. Saturday and Sunday will include many family activities\, suitable for all ages\, along with discourses on Paramhansa Yoganandaji’s teachings on Christ. \n  \nFriday\, 23 December\, will be the annual Christmas 8-hour meditation\, led by the Ananda monks. The All-Day Christmas meditation is a tradition Paramhansa Yogananda started in 1931 as a time to worship God as expressed through the life of Jesus Christ and to expand our awareness of the Christ Consciousness in our own souls. We invite you to enter into this meditation with an attitude of devotion and surrender\, offering all that you are up to God and Christ. The 23rd is the very day that Yoganandaji chose for this blessed “spiritual Christmas” celebration. For nearly 50 years\, Ananda Village has held their 8-hour meditation on this day\, in communion with Yogananda disciples all over the world. This will also be the first long meditation held in our all-new “Temple of All Religions.” \n\n“Christ is only suggested in social Christmas festivities\, but He is seen and felt as an everlasting\, ever-joyous fact in the cradle of divine ecstasy. Make the unknown Christ known within yourself by seeing Him born a second time as the ever-new\, ever increasing joy of your daily deep meditation.” – Paramhansa Yogananda \n\nTips for the meditation: \n\nCome on time to participate in energization exercises and to be in place for meditation.\nEight hours might seem like a long time\, but if you sit still right away you can go deep into meditation\, and beyond time and space. Almost universally the time passes far too quickly. Periods of chanting can help you dive more deeply within\nBe inward\, move as little as possible\, even during the chanting periods. Let the chanting take you more deeply within? don’t treat them as “breaks” but rather as a continuation of your experience of Christ within.\nChairs are provided or bring your own meditation gear for floor sitting including a shawl or sweater. (Malas\, aum boards\, and earplugs if you use them.)\nCome for as much as you are able\, leave when you need to. If you can arrange to leave at a break or chanting/reading\, that would be serviceful to those around you.\nDress in comfortable QUIET clothing—please no clothing that rustles loudly (nylon\, etc.)\nWater\, tea\, fruit and light food will be available as needed\n\n\n—————————  Schedule ————————— \nThursday 22 December\n4:00-7:00                Registration (also chai at 5:00-5:30\, meditation at 6:00)\n7:00-7:45                Dinner\n8:00-9:00                Video: “A Christmas Satsang with Swami Kriyananda” \nFriday 23 December\n8:15-9:15 am          Light Breakfast (optional)\n9:30-9:45               Energization\n10:00-6:00 pm        All-day Christmas meditation\n10:00-6:00 pm        Activities for kids\, with games\, music\, crafts\, and lunch at 1:00 pm.\n5:00-7:00 pm          Chai and snacks\, including hot cocoa\n7:00-7:45               Dinner\n7:45-9:10              Movie: “A Muppet Christmas Carol” \nSaturday 24 December – Christmas Eve\n7:00-8:30 am         Morning meditation\n8:45-9:30                Breakfast\n10:00-11:00 am     Registration\, chai\, and refreshments for late arrivals\n11:00-12:30 pm     “Master’s Teachings on Christ”\n12:30-1:00             Meditation\n1:00-2:00                Lunch\n3:00-4:30                “The Story of Christmas\, and the Inner Meaning of Christmas”\n5:00-5:30                Chai\n6:00-7:00                Meditation\n7:00                         Dinner\, followed by Christmas carols\, story telling\, cookies ?   and hot apple cider \nSunday 25 December – Christmas Day\n7:00-9:00 am         Group meditation\, ending with video: Christmas message from Swami Kriyananda\n9:00-10:00             Breakfast\n10:30-11:15           Children’s re-enactment of the story of Christmas\n11:15-12:00           Divine Mother gift exchange\n1:00-2:00                Festive Lunch and farewells \n\nRates of Accommodations\n\n\n\n\nRoom Type \n\n\nShared Room \n\n\n\n\nRate  (Thu evening-Sun lunch) \n\n\nRate (Fri morning-Sun lunch) \n\n\n\n\nFully Furnished \n\n\nRs 4000 per person \n\n\nRs 3000 per person \n\n\n\n\nSparsely Furnished \n\n\nRs 3200 per person \n\n\nRs 2500 per person \n\n\n\n\nFor more information on Accommodation and reservations contact: \nretreat@anandaindia.org or call 9011069792\, or 7066028051

SUMMARY:New Year’s Retreat
DESCRIPTION:New Year’s Retreat\n30 December – 1 January\nwith Brahmachari Jemal & Retreat Team \n“The path may be sunlit by opportunities or dreary with trials\, but remember to try your utmost\, and then try again and again after you think that you have done your best and can do no more. After making such an effort\, then\, out of the gloom of mysteries\, the all-illuminating Light of Divine Guidance will emblazon your path… Hope and faith in the Divine guidance of your consciously-initiated\, continued efforts for material and Spiritual success will quickly lead you to your goal\, already dimly visible through the Portals of the New Year.” — Paramhansa Yogananda \nPlease join us as we celebrate the coming of the New Year. In this Weekend Retreat we’ll focus on Yogananda’s teachings about learning our lessons from the past. Then we’ll discuss using our will power to call on God’s grace to guide us forward. \n—————————  Schedule ————————— \nFriday 30 December\n4:00-7:00 pm           Registration (also Chai at 5:00-5:30\, Meditation at 6:00)\n7:00                         Dinner\n8:00                         Maha-Kirtan with Jemal & Team \nSaturday 31 December – New Year’s Eve\n7:00-8:30 am           Morning meditation\n8:45-9:30                 Breakfast\n10:00-11:00             Registration\, Chai & Refreshments for late arrivals\n11:00-12:30 pm       Satsang: “Letting Go of the Old”\n12:30-1:00               Meditation\n1:00-2:00                 Lunch\n3:00-4:00                 Video: Swamiji’s New Year’s Talk – 2012 Jan 1\n4:00-5:00                 Healing Affirmations\n5:00-5:30                 Tea Time\n7:00                           Dinner\n9:00-12:00               New Year’s Eve Meditation\, including purification ceremony \nSunday 1 January – New Year’s Day\n8:00-8:30 am           Chai & Fruit\n8:30-9:30                 Morning Meditation\n9:30-11:00               Satsang: “Embracing the New”\n11:00-12:00 pm       Festive Brunch and farewells \nRates of Accommodations\n\n\n\n\nRoom Type \n\n\nShared Room \n\n\n\n\nRate (Fri dinner-Sun lunch) \n\n\nRate (Sat breakfast-Sun lunch) \n\n\n\n\nFully Furnished \n\n\nRs 3000 per person \n\n\nRs 2500 per person \n\n\n\n\nSparsely Furnished \n\n\nRs 2500 per person \n\n\nRs 2000 per person \n\n\n\n\nSingle occupancy may also be possible\, subject to availability. \nFor more information on Accommodation and reservations contact:\nretreat@anandaindia.org or call 9011069792\, or 7066028051
