India Retreat 2025

Bangalore - Tiruvanamalai - Auroville

What are we going to do?
Yoga - meditation - silence walks

8 March out and 30 March back.

We have a programme full of fine activities. We will start the day with yoga (at Tiruvanamalai on the rooftop) and meditation (at Sri Ramana Maharshi's Ashram and the Matrimandir). Each location will have a different afternoon, yoga, meditation in the Ashram/Temple or at sunset by the sea, meditating in the caves of Ramana, the founder of "Who Am I". With sunrise on the holy meditate and we will do walking and silence meditations, including the "Girivalam" the pilgrimage from this region where at full moon more than 100,000 people walk the 14 km trek around the Arunachala (the holy mountain in Tiruvanamalai). There will be travel days and some free days, where it is possible to enjoy a swim in the sea or a swimming pool. Exploring the area and booking a massage is also possible.

The masters Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Sri Ramana Maharshi and Sri Aurobindo along with The Mother are an inspiration to many and also to our yoga school. We will visit the sacred sites of these masters and meditate on these special power places, among others.

During the journey, it becomes possible to allow more and more of what occupies you. Conscious and unconscious thoughts and impressions are allowed to be there. We will work on becoming more and more free of all those obstacles, you could say it is a journey inwards, clearing your system, so that you can stand firmer and your heart will open up more.

The journey is magical and will give you more insights and that who you really are.
