The various scriptures of the world tell us that true and lasting happiness can only be found in the Divine\, yet many of us are so busy honouring our commitments that we have no time left to take steps in this direction. And when we finally manage make time to pursue these things\, we find that we are not sure how to proceed\, or we are not advanced enough to deeply connect with the Divine. \nThis short weekend is designed to help and guide you in taking these steps\, with time for both\, inward and outward explorations. The inward steps are based on the guidance and techniques of the great Master of Yoga\, Paramhansa Yogananda\, author of the renowned book Autobiography of a Yogi. These teachings will help you connect to the Divine joy and peace within you. The outward steps will help you to deepen your awareness and enhance your enjoyment of the natural world\, all around us. \nIn addition to the above aspects to help you relax and connect with the Divine\, this weekend will also focus on one aspect of the Wisdom teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. This weekend’s focus will be an introduction to the Yugas\, an ancient traditional system of long-term cycles that give us fresh new perspectives on history to help us better understand what’s happening in the world today. \nDuring this session we’ll discuss: \n\nWhat yuga\, or ‘age’\, are we currently living in\, really?\nWhat does that mean for us?\nNew perspectives on history\, including recent events.\nPractical insights for better living in the present age of energy.\n\nThis retreat is open and welcoming to all regardless of age\, beliefs or religious background. \n. \nAbout the Instructors \nAcharya Dharana served in Ananda Palo Alto (USA)\, Ananda Assisi (Italy) and Ananda India\, before becoming the primary Acharya (teacher) at the Ananda Meditation Retreat in 2015.

The first experiment toward knowing oneself\, therefore\, begins in silence. \nLife is a busy whirl of “doing” and in all the doing we often forget the “being”. We forget what it is to live in true joy\, true peace\, true love… not merely as an outcome of fortunate circumstances but as a conscious unfoldment of our natural way of being. \nThis silent retreat will help us connect with our forgotten or hidden Self. We will have two and a half days of deep inspiration through immersing ourselves in spiritual practices\, inner conversations with the Divine\, uplifting satsangs and more. It is a time to renew our self\, to listen and respond to the call of our common Father. \nTo paraphrase the words of Yogananda\, in our silence\, may God’s silence cease. \nWe invite you to join us on this journey of self-discovery. It will be fun and entertaining. We’ll never know how much God loves to play with us until we go within! \nAbout the presenters\n \nBrahmachari (Dr.) Aditya is the Spiritual Director of Ananda Pune and a Medical Practitioner\, whose chief interests lie in sharing the teachings and benefits of yoga as a healthy and successful way of life. Aditya has been actively sharing these teachings in corporates\, medical facilities and other institutions in India\, Asia\, and Europe since 2008. \n \nBrahmachari 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.
