Summer Retreat Reflection
The American River Retreat was one of the best weeks of my life. Day by day students are filled to the brim with wisdom of the Self. From morning meditation, silent study and contemplation, Dharma teachings, and Arati singing, almost every moment is suffused with connection to our higher purpose. The students’ company and discussions are thought-provoking and the selfless service of all the volunteers is inspiring. Add on a few glorious hours basking in the azure waters of the American River and it’s hard to find a better time or place to deepen one’s sadhana.
Babaji’s teachings help the student analyze the scriptures that uncover the essence of knowledge and then he shows us how to offer that wisdom to the heart and mind for contemplation. He skillfully connects sadhana from multiple illumined souls and offers them to students combatting the veil of Maya, all the while maintaining a spirit of reverence, strength and joy. His teaching is a true gift to all.
Namaste SRV!
