Summer Retreat 2010 Schedule

3 Days Retreat Schedule [June thru December]

The Goal of Yoga is to find the real self, dwelling within our hearts and realizing it.
The self realization includes Origin of life, finding self and Super self, action of time, Karma, creation of universes, movements of the planets, hellish and heavenly existence, the causes of all causes, one’s true relationship with Krishna, God and living entities and Going back home back to the spiritual world.
This retreat would guarantee students a paramount understanding about the pure existence of the soul beyond this mundane material existence.
This summer retreat takes you to a supremely blissful life resting beyond this gigantic cosmic material universe.

                   in that marginal plane, the jivas are in a state of equilibrium but due to their innate nature they gradually become attracted to either the spiritual or material energy of the Supreme Person.
