SUMMARY:Meditation & Raja Yoga Retreat
DESCRIPTION:28 February – 3 March\, 2019\nwith Acharya Dharana\, Parizad\, Brahmachari Jemal and other monks \n“The soul loves to meditate\, for in contact with the Spirit lies its greatest joy. If\, then\, you experience mental resistance during meditation\, remember that reluctance to meditate comes from the ego; it doesn’t belong to the soul.”  —  Paramhansa Yogananda \nMeditation is one of the most natural yet profoundly rewarding of all human activities. Meditation not only reduces stress and improves physical and emotional well-being\, it can help you be more focused\, productive and calm regardless of outer conditions. Meditation can help you directly experience the divine realities within — the peace\, joy and divine love that are your true nature. While its original and highest purpose is to help us awaken our spiritual nature\, the benefits to body and mind are well established by medical research. \nLearn to relax your body\, calm and concentrate your mind\, awaken intuition and experience greater joy\, mental clarity and creativity in your daily life. This retreat includes in-class practice\, tips on establishing your practice at home\, written instructions\, an unlimited (no-charge) re-take policy\, and ongoing support through email or WhatsApp for any questions that may come up in the future. \nContact:  +91-9011069792 or write to retreat@anandaindia.org for reservation \nFees:        ₹5000/- per person (includes shared accommodation\, meals & course book)\nVenue:     Ananda Meditation Retreat @ Watunde\, Pune\nLimited Accommodations Available – Book soon to reserve a place! \nIn this retreat you will learn: \n\nThe true yogic meaning of meditation\nWhy\, how\, when & how long to meditate\nThree effective methods for achieving the state of meditation\nHow to sit comfortably for long and deep meditations\nThe three levels of consciousness\, and how to enter them\nHow to live your life in greater harmony with all\nHow to quickly recharge your body with vitality and life-force\nHow to gain greater control of your personal energy and magnetism\nThe core essentials from Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga\, plus Shankya & Vedanta\nThe traditional paths of yoga and how to apply them\nThe value of prayer\, chanting\, and devotion in deepening your meditations\n\nWhether you’re interested in managing stress\, finding peace\, increasing your concentration or exploring spiritual realms\, you’ll benefit from this retreat. Experienced instructors and an immersive\, peaceful environment allow for greater depth of study and understanding\, with time for individual questions and in-depth exploration of the topics. \nThis retreat is based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda\, the great master of yoga\, best known as the author of “Autobiography of a Yogi”. Kriya yoga is the core meditation technique practiced and recommended by Yogananda. This course does not include initiation into kriya yoga\, however it does cover the first two steps in a 4-step series of courses preparing people to receive that initiation. These courses are offered regularly in Pune\, Mumbai and elsewhere. This immersive three-day course is roughly equivalent to six weeks of those courses. \nThis retreat is open to all\, and especially to all participants in the Kriya Home Study program\, regardless of where they are in their individual studies. \nFor Kriya Home Study participants who’ve already gone beyond the basics mentioned above\, there will be time for in-person consultation and instruction to help clarify their understanding of all that they’ve been reading on their own\, and take their next steps forward towards receiving or deepening their individual Kriya practice. \nAbout the instructors: \nAcharya Brahmachari Jemal has been a part of Ananda India since 2005\, leading the Ananda monks here in India for most of that time. He’s also given lectures and classes throughout India. Currently he’s in charge of Ananda’s Kriya Home Study program\, where he works with students throughout India\, assisting them to prepare for receiving Kriya yoga. Jemal has been meditating regularly for 16 years.\n. \n \nAcharya Dharana served in Ananda Palo Alto (USA)\, Ananda Assisi (Italy) and Ananda India\, before becoming the primary Acharya here at the Ananda Meditation Retreat in 2015. He first began teaching in Italy\, where Swami Kriyananda made him a minister\, and has offered numerous classes in Italy and India. Dharana views and presents the eternal truths of yoga from a scientific perspective\, due to his background as a silicon valley engineer. Dharana has been meditating regularly for 28 years. \nTestimonials: \n“I thank you with all my heart for taking me through the path to meditation laid by the great Gurus. Your selfless sharing and devotion has touched me deeply. Our conversations would remain with me for my lifetime as a very cherished memory. I have never met a teacher with so much commitment and patience towards a learner.” 
—A.R.\, Pune \n“I am really delighted to take my 1st step in spiritual awakening world! The ashram is best place to leave all your day-to-day worries\, rejuvenate & go back to your day-to-day activities full of energy.” —A.J.\, Pune \n“I arrived at Ananda not having heard of it before. It was a sweet surprise! I feel like I opened a door that will take me a long way. I have been introduced to meditation and to Yogananda teachings and I feel like I finally found what I really needed. Thank you for everything!!” — A.M.\, Italy \n“Freedom is God\, and this is what brings me here\, complete freedom. This place has given a choice to be in my own space & be myself. I dwell in peace\, calm & above all a part of nature. I am able to connect to God & myself. I thank you all.” — P.C.\, Mumbai
