Satsang Shibirs
“Satsang is the Guru's invitation to the land of bliss, beyond the duality of mind.”
Satsang Shibirs or wisdom retreats are held one weekend every month at the Dharampur Ashram. Every year, Pujya Gurudevshri unravels the spiritual treasures from a chosen sacred text, in these retreats.
Over the years, texts have belonged to different traditions. Every shibir includes three to four enriching satsangs along with meditation, bhakti and yoga.
Come and join this course of study. You are invited to stir your core self and bring a fullness to your life.
Natak Samaysaar
Pujya Gurudevshri will expound upon the pious text Natak Samaysaar through monthly Shibirs at Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram, Dharampur.
This literary masterpiece transcends art, exploring timeless themes against the backdrop of its era's rich cultural and spiritual tapestry.
Crafted with linguistic mastery, the poetic drama delves into the essence of time, morality and spirituality, reflecting Banarasidasji's intellectual acumen and commitment to using art for spiritual wisdom. “Natak Samaysaar” stands as a radiant gem, leaving an indelible mark on India's literary heritage, guiding readers through a transformative journey of philosophy and devotion.
