When I signed up for the Retreat, I believed I had a genuine purpose for connecting with the Divine. As nothing is by chance, being in this ashram and not another made me realize—through Sriman Narayana’s guidance—that I was not truly seeking the Truth. What I used to call “purpose” before coming here was actually my attachment to beliefs and to the comforts of this life. I wanted to bring the Divine into my world, instead of being focused enough to move toward His.

This was my first retreat, and I am immensely grateful to the Universe for guiding me to this Ashram. Perhaps the journey would have been much longer if it hadn’t been here. The path and the lessons continue, now with much greater clarity, focus, discipline, and faith.

Gratitude!
