Coming Home To Self

Ganeshpuri Trip Now Open to All

January 28 - February 6 2025

Ganeshpuri, Maharastra, India

Experience a deep inner homecoming through meditation on your own Self in the sacred land of Ganeshpuri. Join Gurudevi in the home of her lineage.

All Svaroopis are welcome!  The earlier prerequisite of an India trip with Gurudevi has been waived. As this is a meditation retreat, you will still be asked to describe your prior studies in Svaroopa^® Vidya Meditation on your application form.

We will be in Ganeshpuri, a small village outside of Mumbai in Maharastra, India. Gurudevi describes this simple town as “the center of the universe.”

What makes it so special? This is where Baba Muktananda met and studied with his own Guru, Bhagavan Nityananda.The stone temple honoring Nityananda is a reliable doorway to the Divine within. And like Muktananda did, you can sit in Nityananda’s house for meditation.

Gurudevi describes her experience of sitting with her Baba:

I had the great pleasure of sitting with Baba over many years. Every time, my familiar inner turmoil dissolved; I settled into a peaceful inner expanse of pure beingness. It was like I caught the germs of enlightenment from him, a most beneficial infection. It has gradually taken over until nothing else remains.

The purpose of this pilgrimage is to marinate in the Guru’s presence as a doorway to the inner infinity.We will be sitting with three generations of great Masters. Nityananda is intimately accessible in his mahasamadhi shrine. Meditation in Muktananda’s shrine is an opportunity for deep silence and profound insights. Plus we have Gurudevi in-person!

Spending time with Gurudevi in the home of our lineage is a rare and powerful opportunity. It is an invitation to experience your own Self and to be changed by your inner experience.

DETAILS

Prerequisites Waived

This is a meditation retreat, a quiet gathering for Svaroopis interested in deep practice.  Due to the groundswell of interest in this retreat, prior travel to Ganeshpuri with Gurudevi is no longer required.

She and the swamis will not be giving introductory teachings, so the retreat is for those who are well-established in the Svaroopa^® sciences. 

An application is required by January 10 2025 - click here. The form gives space for you to list your Svaroopa^® studies so far.

For those who cannot join her in Ganeshpuri, Gurudevi has created a weekend retreat in Downingtown, titled “India in PA.” She will bring the practices and the energy of the India retreat to everyone, making it both more affordable and accessible.
