Experience the Divine Mother’s Blessings

         Sri Karunamayi
           Washington, DC One Day Silent Meditation Retreat

           Thursday, May 21, 2009

            "It is meditation that will liberate us from the sensory world

              and give us the experience of the pure Divine Consciousness."

Based on the success of last year's retreats, Amma has graciously offered to continue having One Day Retreats as part of her 2009 Tour. They are being offered so that more people can take advantage of this precious time with Amma in a retreat setting without disrupting their busy schedules. The retreats will provide an invaluable opportunity for devotees to deepen their meditation practice and to listen to the inspirational wisdom of Amma's divine discourses.

We cordially extend Amma's invitation to join Her for the one day silent meditation retreat at the Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in Lanham, MD. All meditators, from beginners to those with an established practice, will benefit from the special retreat atmosphere. All will be spiritually nourished by Amma's serene presence, silent meditations, discourses and spiritual chanting. 

There will be fifteen one day retreats during Sri Karunamayi's tour of North America. Please register early since these retreats tend

to fill up fast. A light lunch and snacks will be provided as part of the registration fee.

There will be a weekend Silent Meditation Retreat in Denver, Colorado on June 26 - 28 as part ot the Guru Purnima Celebration. For more details, please click here.
