Retreat: August 26th to September 6th, 2023

Namaskar to all Beings of Light at the Ashram City of Angels.

It's difficult to put into words this profound and searching experience. I came to the retreat in search of this Inner Freedom of the Self, to find myself, align my purposes, steady my mind and polish all the mundane aspects within me. Experiencing these 10 days of silence was more challenging than I had imagined, everything became intense, and as time went by, everything quietened down, the calm came closer, the light enveloped me and peace settled in, thus emerging a connection of the heart to the Divine. I didn't set any expectations before I came, I arrived with only my intentions and today I'm returning to "the world", with more, with much more than my intentions, I'm returning HOME.

It's a retreat that should be obligatory for all people to do instead of going on vacation and traveling around the world, they should first go back inside, internalize themselves.
The place is incredible, so peaceful and humble. The residents are serene and Light, welcoming, advising and transmitting love. Five-star food and accommodation, or rather, the whole sky.

I'm grateful for all the knowledge I've received through the experience and for the Satsanga, which brings all the Light on the Path.

I'm leaving today and will definitely be back tomorrow.
Thank you
OM Shanti

The blessings are immeasurable for the spirit, mind, and body of those who participate.

These ten days of silence practicing ten hours a day of meditation integrates your being, making you recognize the identity of the divine being that you are.

On the physical aspect, you re-educate your eating habits, realizing that it is not necessary to eat more than twice a day, and you realize that body and mind function much better.

You learn that talking wastes a lot of precious energy, which you can direct in meditation, for example.

By meditating you learn to breathe better, organize your posture, think more clearly, and sleep with quality.

The spiritual fruits a priori is your encounter with the beautiful silence that exists in the Universe and inside you, which in fact is the same Unity, the One, God.

Recognizing the Divine Consciousness that you are, and knowing that you are part of the source of Love that is God, and in this source of Love, Compassion, Joy, Perseverance, Generosity, the waters of the divine virtues bathe you, cleanse you, and feed you in a full and endless way.

It is important to register the quality and lovingness of the devotional work of Master Sriman Narayana and all the spiritual team of the City of Angels Ashram, here we received spiritual guidance, guidance on the ancient technique of Kriya meditation, a diet made with much love and I received the main thing that I came to seek SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE.

Retreat: participated in the retreat from 01 to 12 September 2022

You only make the path by walking, during this action many things happen, the problem is that many of the things that happen you were not prepared and the path I refer to is life.

Doing the 10 days meditation and silence retreat, my first experience, helped me to look at everything I was carrying unnecessarily.

With the teachings of Sriman Narayana I was able to learn how a mind that is not in tune with the truth of the creator can make you feel huge pains and difficulties.

The meditation technique taught together with the discipline practiced at the Ashram helped me to go deeper into myself, freeing me from many mental, physical, and emotional ties.

I see this experience as a beginning to be able to go deeper into the whole technique and be more connected with my true self, which is love.

Deep gratitude for everyone at the Ashram who welcomed not only me, but everyone who was doing the retreat with open arms and with much love. Om Shanti.

The “Awakening the Sacred Fire” retreat was one of the deepest experiences of my life. Every detail is designed to provide a profound internal journey.

The routine, the discipline, the silence, the food, the technique, and the instructions… During the retreat, I went through a purification process that allowed me to observe my mind as never before, even though I already had a meditation practice at home.

The discipline at the retreat was essential to realize how much I am a slave to my mind, conditioned to only respond and react to its demands.

I am deeply grateful to the Ashram and to Master Sriman Narayana for this opportunity. May others also receive and benefit from this grace.
