Retreat: retreat from 01 to 12 August 2022

I have been practicing meditation for 8 years. I've done several meditation and silence retreats, but I confess that when I saw the routine of this one, I thought I wouldn't be able to do it because of the intensity of practice, sleep and food. But it was a sweet mistake. I felt supported by the energy and people of the Ashram. Knowing that I not only could do it, but also loved the routine, was a great self-discovery. I didn't feel sleepy or hungry.
I didn't know the Ashram or Sriman Narayana, but the practices and teachings resonated deeply with my Being. The 10 hours of Krya Yoga daily, brought purification in many aspects and layers of my ego. I accessed places and spirit states that I had never dreamed of reaching. I felt the power of oneness. I felt the greatness of God's love and dissolved in it.
Gratitude Sriman Narayana for serving as an instrument for this greatness of service.

Attending the meditation and silence retreat at the Ashram was a very valuable experience!
It offers us a condition for deep and transforming inner work. It turned into keys and today I see an inner strength that shines in my heart. I am very grateful to have had this chance to participate in such serious work.

The Ashram group transpired me seriousness, a commitment carried out with love and dedication.
It was a grace to be in this environment, practicing meditation intensively and, at the end of the day, listening to Sriman Narayana's satsang. Wow!
Each day of satsang was everything I needed to hear. Something unique and original. Without equal.

Happy for everyone who together dedicated themselves to this work.

Gratitude from the heart.
A work of kindness and compassion that of the Ashram.

Peace.
 

Retreat: retreat from 1 to 12 August 2022

I discovered the ashram through instagram and saw the opportunity to do the 10-day silent retreat. The whole attendance from the beginning gave me a lot of confidence and when I arrived I already felt the seriousness of the work that would be done. The staff was very well prepared, the dining rooms and dormitories are cozy and the food is delicious.
I leave today with my heart a little stronger, the pain of meditation (of the position) is for strengthening, no one had ever explained this to me. And persistence is the important word in the process.
Fear was present and I discovered that it is a guidance, this didn't make it go away but I started a relationship with it. Fear was present and I discovered that it is an orientation, this didn't make it go away but I started a relationship with it. I felt fear, I felt like leaving, the challenge was very big, the process was very difficult, there was pain, there was doubt, but the guidance, the satsangs at night always had the message that I needed to hear in my process.
Sriman Narayana is a master and showed me what I needed to see. I am aware of my emptiness and I know it will be filled with the experience of continuing to practice.
I came looking for freedom for my life and I realized that True Freedom is offered to me.

It was the biggest experience and gift that I could give to myself.

It brought me a lot of self-confidence because from the first day to the last is a very big spiritual war.

And as I had never done even one full hour meditation, it was very hard at the beginning.

And what made the real difference was surrendering myself totally to the teachings of Sriman Narayana. Body and soul.

Every day when I thought of giving up at the end of the day, the teachings that were passed corresponded exactly on top of all the experiences I had gone through during the day, and this renewed me and gave me total strength to continue one more day. And that's how 10 days went. Actually 12 lol

I really didn't expect that it would be such a huge immersion inside me. I could really understand a lot of things. And one of them was to be able to totally disentangle myself from my thoughts.

It was totally perfect.

I appreciate the total responsibility and seriousness that all of you have with the work.
