Sānnidhyam 

Sānnidhyam 
2 - 6 December 2023
(5 days)

Retreat at Sanatan Siddhashram

About

Sānnidhyam means “to be near.”

When we are near to a fire, it gives us light and warmth. In a similar way, Sānnidhyam is an intimate retreat where we stay close with Parvathy Maa and bask in the light of the practise of a Baul.

We flow through a practitioner’s day together, always keeping our orientation on “making our whole life into a prayer”. 

We will receive Parvathy Maa’s guidance and care, and learn what it means to implement a daily routine (nithya anushtān) as a practitioner.

She will give guidance related to Baul practise; specifically in the areas of yoga, meditation, Baul singing and body movement, which are all part of the Baul sadhana.

 

There will be satsangs where Parvathy Maa will give reflections based on the participants’ needs or questions.

Gopi Bhāv Darpan 
8 - 10 December 2023
(3 days)

Retreat at Sanatan Siddhashram or Online

About

Retreat to immerse in Gopi Bhāv - "the highest example of devotion and surrender to the Supreme Lord." With Parvathy Baul and female Baul Masters & practitioners.

The retreat allows us to sit with practitioners who live their lives in Gopi Bhāv, and for us to immerse in their light, their presence, their surrender and Love for the Divine.

"I hear from Sadhus:
the Way of the Gopis
is the fastest way to get to Krishna.
If Gopis are simple cowherd women and

Bhav is a state of oneness
with the Supreme consciousness,
How do such pastoral chicks

find the shelter at the lotus feet?"
