SUMMARY:Teachings Under the Banyan Tree: A Contemplative Immersion into the Dakṣiṇāmūrti Stotram
DESCRIPTION:Teachings Under the Banyan Tree is a two-day contemplative study retreat centred on the Dakṣiṇāmūrti Stotram\, where Śiva is revealed as the archetypal Guru who teaches through silence and presence. Guided by Dr. Vinayachandra Banavathy\, the retreat offers an Advaitic exploration of adhyāsa (mistaken identity) and the inward movement toward clarity and awareness. \nHeld in the context of Mahāśivarātri\, the immersion integrates reflective study with Rudra Pārāyaṇa\, Rudrābhiṣeka\, and bhajans\, allowing scriptural inquiry\, devotion\, and contemplation to unfold as a unified sādhanā. The retreat invites participants into sustained listening\, inward reflection\, and experiential assimilation of self-knowledge. \nThe Details of the Retreat are as follows: \n*Suitable age group 18 years and above* Open for all\, requiring no prior knowledge of Vedānta. Knowledge of the Text or of Sanskrit also is not required. \nDate and timings: \n\nStarts on the evening of Friday\, 13thFebruary\, 2026 at 6:00 PM \nConcludes on Sunday\, 15thFebruary\, 2026 at 4:00 PM\n\nTypical Schedule: \n07.00 – 08.15 AM    Asana + Pranayama\n08.15 – 09.00 AM    Bath\n09.00 – 10.00 AM    Breakfast\n10.00 – 11.30 AM    Session I\n11.30 – 12.00 PM    Tea Break\n12.00 – 01.00 PM    Session II\n01.00 – 03.00 PM    Lunch & Rest\n03.00 – 04.15 PM    Session III\n04.15 – 05.00 PM    Cyclic Meditation\n05.00 – 05.30 PM    Tea Break\n05.30 – 06.30 PM    Tuning to Nature\n07.00 – 07.30 PM    Bhajan\n07.30 – 08.30 PM    Dinner\n08.30 – 09.15 PM    Circle Time \nWorkshop Contribution: \n\nRs 5\,000/-per person.\nThe fees are inclusive of boarding\, lodging and teaching plus resource materials.\n\nAccommodation: Shared accommodation will be provided \nFood: Simple sāttvik food with fresh-grown vegetables from the farm. \nReaching the Venue: The venue is about 22 km from Majestic Bus Stand and is accessible through Magadi Road and Tumkur Road\, preferably through your own vehicles.
