SUMMARY:Serious Sadhana Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Serious Sadhana Retreat \n \n29 November – 1 December\, 2019\nwith Brahmachari Jemal and other monks \n“Group meditation is a castle which protects the new spiritual aspirants as well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of spiritual magnetism.” – Paramhansa Yogananda \nThis retreat is for those who would like to have longer and deeper meditations in a group setting.  All participants are free to attend as many or as few of the meditations as they wish.  Meditation will not be taught\, so the participants should already know a meditation technique\, that they are comfortable practicing for many hours per day. \nThis will not be a strictly silent retreat\,  but there will be little time for talking because most of the time is scheduled for meditation.  This is the perfect warm up for the 8 hour meditation on December 22nd. \nAccommodations & Rates: \n\n\n\nRoom Type\nRate  (Fri dinner-\nSun lunch)\n\n\nFully furnished Room\nRs 4000 / person\n\n\nNo room: day rate to attend program & meals\nRs 1000 / person / day\n\n\n\nFor more information on Accommodations and reservations contact:\nretreat@anandaindia.org or call 9011069792\, or 8007108691 \n. \nMeet our Presenters \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\, helping to prepare them to receive Kriya yoga.

SUMMARY:All-Day Christmas Meditation
DESCRIPTION:All-Day Christmas Meditation \n \n22 December\, 2019\nwith Nayaswamis Jaya & Sadhana Devi \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 \nThe 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. As always\, the Sunday Christmas meditation is completely free of charge. \nAccommodations & Rates: \n\n\n\nRoom Type\nRate\n\n\nOvernight stay in a fully furnished room\, either the night before or the night after the meditation (sharing basis)\nRs 1500 / person / night\n\n\nNo room: Day use including meditation program\, including optional snacks\nNo charge\n\n\n\nFor more information on Accommodation and reservations contact:\nretreat@anandaindia.org or call 90110 69792\, or 80071 08691 \nSchedule \n \nAbout the Presenters: \nNayaswamis Jaya and Sadhana Devi have been disciples of Paramhansa Yogananda and students of Swami Kriyananda for 50 years. They serve Ananda Sangha in California as well as Ananda Sangha India. Nayaswami Jaya is a Kriyacharya. \n\nTips for the meditation:  \nCome on time to participate in the 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 avoid disturbing anyone 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.
