Antaryoga Retreat: Meditation on Mundaka Upanishad, Part 2
Saturday, 24 June 2017 @ 9:30 am - 4:00 pm
In this second session on the Mundaka, we will focus on its poetry. The flow of the verses is wonderful to contemplate. This retreat provides the chance for those who already practice meditation to do their own sadhana through silence. There will be several meditation sessions, to realize the Self of all that exists. We will sing some songs after lunch. The texts—the Mundaka Upanishad and commentaries on it by Swamis Lokeswarananda and Nikhilananda—will be provided at the retreat. This is the second of three retreats focusing on the Mundaka Upanishad; the third will be in September.
Email Pravrajika Dayaprana at dayaprana@vedanta.org by June 22 to reserve your space.
