Talk on Lord Rama

Lord Rama is picturized by Sage Valmiki as the epitome of perfection. The Lord unswervingly walked on the path of Dharma as an extraordinary ‘human being’. He was idealistic and discharged his duties to perfection in whatever role he played – as a son, husband, brother, friend or king.

The epic Ramayana is considered to be the essence of Vedas. It symbolizes the relationship between an individual and the Supreme Self culminating in Self-Realization. On the auspicious occasion of Shri Rama Navami we surrender to Lord Rama in devotion and attempt to explore a few episodes in Ramayana.

Bhagavad Gita for Everyday Living

– 2 Day Residential Retreat

Bhagavad Gita for Everyday Living

What we call “daily life” is a continually raging battle in the Kurukshetra of one’s heart. Strong preferences, prejudices, and priorities clash, tearing asunder one’s sanity and tranquility, and plunging one within the habitual sinkhole of despondency. Yet, somehow one soldiers on, hoping that this state of continual conflict is an aberration, even though it presents itself as the norm. Imprisoned by the chains of wrong notions and priorities, one clings tightly to a dangerous vortex of action and reaction.

Fortunately, in the recognition that one needs help, half the battle is already won. The rest is taken care of by the mesmerising melodies of Lord Krishna’s flute in the form of the verses of the Bhagavad Gita. The wounded heart is repaired, setting one free to soar the skies of goals and ambitions unfettered by the shackles of despondency and despair.

Come and explore these possibilities with us in the mini-retreat on the Bhagavad Gita for Everyday Living. Give yourself a weekend of relaxation and expansion. You have nothing to lose, except self-ignorance.

Prayag – Sacred Dip in Vedanta 2 Day Residential Retreat

Our lives are a struggle between three different streams – dealing with oneself, dealing with the world and dealing with God. How can there be harmony in these three? Is a confluence possible? The confluence of these three is the vision of reality.

Much like one has a sacred dip in the waters of Prayag which is the confluence of the three sacred rivers – Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati, one can have a dip in the sacred waters of the unchanging reality of all three – oneself, world and Ishvara through Vedanta.

How best to do this? Vedanta that reveals you were always free also reveals the method, which is, to go to a teacher who is from the sampradaya. The truth has to be pointed out, directly and immediately, where you have an opportunity for samvaada, a dialogue that allows for a flow of meaning. There cannot be scope for doubt, vagueness or error.

Although we have learnt to manage our online Zoom fatigue it is time to press the ‘refresh’ button and ‘re’treat ourselves for the weekend. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, the retreat will reveal and revel in the reality that is YOU, the timeless reality of oneself, the world and Ishvara.

The Vedanta retreat by Swamini Brahmaprajnananda will serve as an introduction to the vision of Vedanta and how to live this vision of oneness. The retreat will mirror the schedule of a traditional gurukulam with puja, practice of asana/ pranayama, meditation, classes, self- reflection, discussions and quiet time.

Bhagavad Gita by Swami Tattwamayananda

The Bhagavad Gita is a universal scripture appreciated by philosophers and great men and women from cultures around the world. The Bhagavad Gita presents a high ideal on inner spiritual transformation through the practice of Swadharma. It teaches that the Atman is deathless, unchanging, immortal and eternal, that the body is transient, and the characteristics of the sthitaprajña – a person of steady wisdom. The Gita teaches non-attachment in work and to confront the problem of unpleasant duty with equanimity of mind. It is not negligence or indifference but it removes the binding effect of work. Not only is it impossible to remain inactive, but also it is dangerous. If we do not divert our mind towards positive channels, the mind naturally turns to its own channels, which may be harmful. The Gita gives examples of men of women who combine secular success with spiritual values – the ideal of Raja-Rishi possessing the dynamism of a reigning monarch with the wisdom of a saint who knows the inherent limitations of empirical success. By learning to discern what is of permanent spiritual value, we gain spiritual common sense. Our actions bring a sense of inner fulfillment – kṛtakṛtyatā. The Gita teaches a harmonious blending of action and contemplation, the positive aspects of secular values and spiritual values.
