Meditation retreats offer a rare opportunity to deepen your meditation practice, expand self-knowledge, and explore essential spiritual truths. In today’s fast-paced world, it is uncommon to step away from daily routines, disconnect from devices, and dedicate time to cultivating inner peace. Meditation retreats provide the space for extended meditation, rest, rejuvenation, spiritual learning, and self-discovery.

Advancing spiritually requires quieting the mind and accessing deeper states of consciousness. True spiritual knowledge and direct personal experience are the keys to lasting happiness and inner peace. Babaji’s retreats are devoted to this purpose. Shiva Rudra Balayogi is a masterful teacher, sharing the wisdom of Self-Realization with all who seek it. Even without words, simply being in Babaji’s stillness is an enlightening experience.

A core message of Babaji’s teaching is that suffering arises from not knowing the liberating truth of who we truly are. Amid the thousands of thoughts that pass through our minds each day, one thing is not a thought: our awareness of existence. The true Self is the silent witness to the mind. Without directly realizing this higher reality, it is impossible to overcome suffering. Through meditation, the mind can become still, revealing Pure Consciousness as the essence of our being—the supreme peace we all seek.

Babaji’s meditation retreats offer a profound opportunity for personal growth. We invite you to attend. If time is a constraint, you are welcome to participate in any portion of the retreat that fits your schedule. Beginners and those unfamiliar with Babaji’s meditation technique will receive instruction at the retreat—free of charge.

As accommodations are limited, we encourage you to reserve your space as soon as possible. All programs are offered without charge. Please contact Ananda Ashram for food and lodging expenses.
