Welcome to our Weeklong Shaktipat Meditation Retreat!
Give Us 7 Days. We’ll Give You The Proved Methods To Attain Happiness, Joy, Inner Peace and Well-Being Through Our Siddha Science.
“Oh Khusrau, the river of Love runs in strange directions. One who jumps into it drowns, and one who drowns, gets across.” ~ The Poet Saint, Amir Khusrau
All people, places and things are reflections of the One God, the Self. These reflections are multitudinous and fantasmagorical. If understood in only one way, they keep us contracted and trapped in the net of illusion. If understood from the perspective of the highest, they free us to experience the Truth – the Grace, Love, Light and Eternal Joy of the Self.
You do not need to leave your church, temple or mosque to imbibe the methods taught in our Shaktipat retreats. These methods are part of our Siddha Science. This science brings freedom from fear, doubt, worry, anxiety, frustration, anger, depression, cynicism, sarcasm, lust and the corruption of greed. It delivers you to the daily, moment-to-moment indescribable Joy and Love of the Self.
Weeklong Shaktipat Meditation Retreat
In this weeklong retreat we will closely examine the reflections of the Self, their constitutive properties, and how to embrace these reflections in way that takes us higher and higher to become one with our God nature. There will be a lot of chanting and meditation in this retreat.
In this weeklong Shaktipat Meditation retreat methods for the following will be taught:
- How to Access and Drown In Joy.
- Learn How to Love Unconditionally, Even When Boundaries to Interacting Are Necessary.
- Learn How to Understand and Express More Compassion.
- How to Imbibe Kedarji’s 4 Pillars of Joy In Daily Living; the Spiritual Power, Improved Mental State, Emotional Resilience and Vibrant Health.
- How To Conquer the Ego That Gives Rise to Fear, Anxiety, Unhappiness and Lack of Well-Being – How to Do So With Indescribable Joy and Fearlessness.
- Learn How to Face Chaos With Love.
- The Path to Victory Over the Restless Mind and the Nagging Senses.
- How to Become Established In A Lifestyle In Which Your Experience of Bliss Is a Regular, and Then Constant Occurrence.
This weeklong Shaktipat Meditation retreat will include instruction in methods for applying Kedarji’s 4 Pillars of Joy In Daily Living to your life.
**This 7-day retreat will culminate in Kedarji’s Shaktipat Blessing. This will take place during our weekend Shaktipat Blessing retreat honoring Bhagawan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri and the miracle of His Grace. For this reason, this intensive is named The Miracle Intensive.
“There is a place within us that is so nurturing and sacred, so awesome that it burns away all that we are not. Bhagawan Nityananda refers to this sacred space as the Heart. He says it is the hub of all sacred places and that we should roam there. This is what we will be doing in the weeklong Shaktipat Meditation retreat.” ~ Kedarji
**In this very short period of time, you can renew your spiritual practice and lifestyle by reigniting the flame of your enthusiasm. In this way, your longing for an existence imbued with the Love of the True Heart will increase. This happens by coming into contact with other devoted seekers and Kedarji’s adept companionship as our spiritual leader.
This 7-day Shaktipat meditation retreat will culminate in Kedarji’s Shaktipat Blessing. This is our annual weekend Shaktipat Meditation intensive honoring Bhagawan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri and the miracle of His Grace. For this reason, this intensive is named The Miracle Intensive.
