2-Day Weekend Retreat
Mantra Tapas
Teachings on Mantra with Group Japa Practice
January 3 – 5, 2014 <> SRV Hawaii Ashram
“The mantra is of key importance. When karma comes, when trouble comes, it isn’t “I am Brahman” that helps us as much as the mantra. Knowledge of Brahman is going to help you only if you can transport yourself up to It. Most beings have to take this grand step over stages. Therefore, have this knowledge of Brahman working in your consciousness, and in the meantime follow dharma, the practices of spiritual life.” – Babaji Bob Kindler
Join us for 2 full days at our beautiful Hawai’i ashram overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the island of Maui. Surrounded by lush vegetation and the tropical sounds of frogs, birds, the native chuckling gecko, (and some traffic noises), Babaji will will present the multileveled facets of mantra and its practice. As Sri Ramakrishna has stated, “it takes only a tiny germ to kill an elephant.” The mantra is the germ that kills the elephant of ignorance, ego, distraction, karma, negativity, and more.
