Program
A meditation retreat in Rishikesh highly designed to lead you on a journey of self-discovery and inner tranquility where you will learn to encounter the profound impact of silence through practices like Vipassana or mindful observation. These methods prompt you to tune into your inner voice, fostering a heightened awareness.
Through meditation techniques, seekers can learn to connect from Atman to Pramatman (individual self to supreme self) and experience the true self, pure soul being. Through this meditation, seekers immediately can move from outer objects to inner subjects. Daily practice will open the inner eye and allow one to see clearly the ultimate truth about the self and about the universe. The ultimate goal of self-inquiry meditation is to get freedom from the outer boundaries and material attraction of this world.
