SUMMARY:Supporting a Lifetime of Kriya Yoga
DESCRIPTION:5-9 June\, 2019\nwith Nayaswamis Jaya\, Dhyana\, and Devarshi \n“It is not your passing thoughts or brilliant ideas\, but your everyday habits that control your life.” — Paramhansa Yogananda \n \nIt follows from this wisdom that how much spiritual progress we’ll make in this lifetime will be determined by our everyday spiritual practices\, much more so than our spiritual inspirations or experiences\, no matter how deep. \nWhile Yogananda referred to Kriya Yoga as the “greatest key to salvation\,”  and also called it “the jet airplane route” to God\, merely having this technique is very different from having a deep everyday practice of it. \nIn this special 4-day (Wednesday evening thru Sunday Lunch) retreat\, we’ll focus on improving our daily practices\, to help each of us towards the greatest spiritual attainments we can achieve in this lifetime. \nPrerequisites: this course is open to all those who have been initiated into Kriya Yoga through Ananda Sangha. \nContact:      +91-9011069792 or write to retreat@anandaindia.org for reservation\nFees:            Full Duration : ₹ 6000/- per person (includes accommodation and meals)\n.                     Day Use Only : ₹ 1000/- per person per day (no room)\nVenue:         Ananda Meditation Retreat @ Watunde\, Pune\nLimited Accommodations Available – Book soon to reserve a place! \nThe classes will focus specifically on: \n\nDevotion: the most important ingredient in our spiritual practices\nInspiration: how to keep our practices fresh and meaningful for the rest of our lives\, despite the distractions and challenges that will surely come along.\nRight Attitudes for Success in Kriya Yoga\nSigns of Spiritual Progress for the Kriya Yogi\nThe Techniques: fine-tuning all our practices\, including:\n\nPosture: the essential physical foundation for any good meditation\nDiaphragmatic breathing: essential for practicing Kriya deeply\nHong-Sau: improving our ability to focus our minds will improve our Kriya practice\, and all other aspects of our lives\nEnergization: increasing our awareness and control of our life force is one of the most valuable things we can do to improve our Kriya practice\nAum technique\nKriya technique\, including time for individual kriya checking\nAn introduction to Kechari Mudra: what it is\, how to do it\, and why Lahiri Mahasaya taught it with Kriya\nHong-Sau in the spine\, Navi Kriya and others – and when to best fit them in\n\n\nQuestions and Answers: through these sessions we’ll have time to address whatever issues are individually holding you back in your spiritual practices.\n\nAbout the Kriyacharyas: \nNayaswami Jaya is a founding member of Ananda Village where he served for many years as Community Manager.  In 2002\, he helped establish an Ananda Center and Meditation Retreat on the East Coast of the US.  Four years later\, at Swami Kriyananda’s request\, he and his wife\, Nayaswami Sadhana Devi\, shifted to India where he now serves as co-Director of Ananda India with Nayaswami Dhyana. He’s been serving as a Kriyacharya since 1989. \nNayaswami Dhyana met Swami Kriyananda in 1980 and has since helped in the founding of several Ananda communities and centers. She is the co-Spiritual Director of Ananda India\, and travels and lectures extensively\, helping to support Ananda India’s communities and centers. She served as leader of Ananda’s Kriya Sangha for 14 years\, and has been serving as a Kriyacharya since 2005.\n. \nNayaswami Devarshi was leader of the Kriya Sangha for many years\, and is a long-time Ananda teacher. He’s served the Ananda communities in Seattle\, Assisi\, and Ananda Village. He has taught throughout the United States\, as well as in Italy and Moscow. Devarshi also served on Swami Kriyananda’s personal staff for seven years and as Webmaster and creator of Ananda’s award-winning website. In 2016 Devarshi shifted to India to lead the Ananda monks. \n\n \n \nAdditional helpful things to keep in mind: \n\nAs detailed above\, the retreat will start on Wednesday afternoon (June 5th) with an afternoon Sadhana from 4:30 – 7:00 pm\, followed by dinner and then a welcoming orientation after dinner. You’re encouraged to come for all of these events if you can\, and you’re also encouraged to arrive early (from 3 pm onwards) so that you can get settled and rested after your journey. The retreat does not include lunch on Wednesday (served from 1-2pm)\, but if you’d like to arrive even earlier and join us for that\, please inform us by Wednesday morning so that we can be sure there’s enough food for you!\nIf you cannot attend any of Wednesday’s activities\, we hope you’ll still come as early as you can on Wednesday evening\, so that you’ll be able to get a good night’s rest before the Thursday morning meditation.\nWhile many topics stand alone\, sometimes the discussions will build on each other\, with the acharyas referencing earlier statements from other acharyas. That makes it helpful (if possible) to book for the full length of the retreat if possible.\nThe group meditations (twice a day) will be an important aspect of the retreat\, as the energy is always stronger when a large group of kriyabans come together. These will probably happen in Swamiji’s house\, which will also add to the depth of the meditations.

SUMMARY:Spirituality and Nature Weekend\, with How to Meditate classes
DESCRIPTION:Sunset meditation overlooking Ananda Meditation Retreat \n“The trivial preoccupations of daily life are not enough for man; wisdom too is a native hunger.”\n—  Paramhansa Yogananda \nIf you’re not satisfied with the “trivial preoccupations” in your daily life\, or are hungering for wisdom\, a sense of meaning or deeper purpose in life\, or just a short break\, we invite you to come for a short but relaxing weekend away from the noise and stress of city life.  \nThis 28 hour program\, from Saturday morning through Sunday lunch\, will include: \n\nRelaxation in a serene\, beautiful and natural environment.\nGuided yoga and meditation sessions to help you recharge your mind\, body and spirit.\nA deeply rejuvenating and invigourating walking meditation in the Sahyadri hills.\n\nAll mankind has an inner yearning for meaning\, fulfillment\, and above all happiness\, yet many of us are unable to find these qualities in our daily lives. 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. \nThis weekend will also include a class in how to meditate\, to further help you relax and connect with the Divine. Meditation 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. \nIn this retreat you’ll learn: \n\n\nThe true yogic meaning of meditation \n\n\nHow to sit comfortably for long and deep meditations \n\n\nThree effective methods for achieving the state of meditation \n\n\nWhy\, how\, when & how long to meditate \n\n\nThis retreat is open and welcoming to all regardless of age\, beliefs or religious background. \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. He first began teaching in Italy\, where Swami Kriyananda made him a minister. Dharana has been meditating regularly since 1990\, and offering classes in meditation since 2000. He’s also been a life-long lover of nature! \n. \n\n \nParizad is a certified and experienced Ananda Yoga and Meditation Teacher. She is a Kriyaban\, a long time spiritual seeker and meditator. She specialises in Holistic and Integrative Medicine and acts as a Psychologist\, Spiritual Counsellor and Guide to those in need of healing and guidance\, based on universal principles. She is also a practising Evolutionary Astrologer which charts the map of every soul’s evolutionary path and life intentions.  She is also a devout nature and animal lover and enjoys hiking and nature photography. \nAccommodations & Rates for the weekend\n \nA fully-furnished shared room with all meals included is Rs 2\,200/person. \nA fully-furnished private room with all meals included is Rs 3\,000/person. \nFor more information on Accommodation and reservations contact:\nretreat@anandaindia.org or call 9011069792\, or 8007108691\n \nRetreat Weekend Schedule: \n \nAdditional things to keep in mind: \n\nOur primary goal is to serve everyone who comes for these retreats. Accordingly we may make changes to the above schedule to better serve your needs\, requests\, or interests.\nOut of respect for all other retreat participants\, we humbly request that you plan on arriving here no later than 9:30 am on Saturday morning (June 22nd) so that we’ll be able to get started with the classes promptly 10 am. As detailed above\, the retreat will start with an optional breakfast or tea\, followed quickly at 10 am with the first of several classes. The how-to-meditate instructions build on each other\, so we’ll make our best efforts to insure that everyone has actually arrived before we begin.\nWe also request that you let us know by Friday evening about your plans for the Saturday morning’s breakfast\, so that we’ll be able to insure there’s enough food / tea ready for you!\n\nWe recommend loose and comfortable clothing for the meditation and yoga sessions.\nOur retreat centre is in a rural area where power sometimes comes and goes. We’ll do our best to provide a regular supply through our genset\, but still we recommend you carry a flashlight to help you get around.\nWe’re now going into monsoon season\, so we recommend you bring an umbrella and footwear that at least won’t be damaged by getting wet. You might also want to bring some anti-mosquito lotion\, or thick clothing\, as the mosquitos are more frequent in this season.\nIf you’d like to join us for the nature walk\, we further recommend footwear that will be comfortable for trekking\, a rain jacket and perhaps even rain pants if you have them. Note that an excessive level of rainfall at the wrong time could cause the walk in nature to be may be postponed or even cancelled. On the other hand\, the rains may allow us to visit one or more of the many beautiful waterfalls nearby!\nWhile we hope you’ll want to relax and enjoy your time here\, there are occasions when you may need to communicate with your friends or loved ones. Phone & internet services are generally available here through Jio\, Vodafone and Idea networks. We also have a Wi-Fi connection available at our reception area\, which has been quite reliable for at least getting messages in & out.
