What is meditation retreat?

Meditation retreat is the time when one lives and breathes with the master. It is being in a surcharged buddhafield where energies are pouring on you. It is the electrifying time when guru works on you on multi levels, right from the body to the mind, to emotions, to intellect. The body is balanced, toned, strengthened by the yogic asanas. Vegetarian food gives good energies. Lovefull chanting, kirtan helps in easing out emotional pressures of mind and the master’s talks illuminate the intellect. There are various activities in the meditation retreat, which will keep you busy, and yet you will be so free. It is time where you sit silently for hours, listen to enchanting talks, dance, sing, do yoga, eat vegetarian food, take a nap so on so forth.

This retreat will greatly help your spiritual growth as the presence of a living master expedites the speed of involution. Master is the catalyst without whom the real chemistry of transformation won’t happen. In absence of electricity, oxygen and hydrogen won’t change in water. Electricity is the catalyst. Similarly, the master works as a silent catalyst, but this catalyst works with and without words. The ways of master are hidden but the results are very much visible. The master leads one from sorrow to joyfullness, and as if with magic wand, the transformation happens instantaneously.
