The spiritual retreat organised by JET USA INC. in Lake Geneva, has

been a grand success and more than 80 families were blessed in the week long

Spiritual Camp by HH Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Chinna Srimannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar

Swamiji. It was organised from 6th July to 12th July.

 

The day used to begin at 4.30 AM with Yoga, Pranayama, Surya

Namaskaras and then meditation, Prathasmaraniyam etc., graced by HH Sri Swamiji.

Then after Se:va:ka:lam and Thi:rtthago:shtti, Bhagavad Prasadam was

served and then first session was conducted. During the first session,

Ma:ndu:kyo:panishad was graced by HH Sri Swamiji with wonderful projector

presentations to make the concepts clear and attractive. Then Introduction to

Vedic Literature was discussed. In the afternoons, Learning Bhajans in the

style of Classical Music, learn how to chant Manthras and then Gi:tha:rttha

Sangraham of Yamunacharya graced by HH Sri Swamiji.

 

In the evening Sri Vishnusahasrana:ma Stho:thram chanting was

conducted and after a:ra:dhana, interactive session on the lessons and also on

the general topics was conducted. The day ended by 10.00 pm for all the camp

participants.

 

Every one enjoyed the camp to quench the thirst of spiritual

knowledge and got enlightened with the greatness of our Vedic Tradition that led

the world in the path of glory towards the ultimate goal.

 

One and all wished to have the camp for more number of days and also

every one expressed to have such camps very frequently !! It was a great dream

one can ever think of that came true... felt every one. For the first time ever

in the history such a camp has been organised in which families came and

participated in a spiritual retreat. Aged devotees (above 80's) those who

couldn't understand English also enjoyed the subject through the enchanting

voice and impeccable expression of HH Sri Swamiji, throughout the classes and

what can we say about those who really could understand little or more English

!! HH Strived through out the day conducting all the classes to make

participants feel elated and rejuvenated every minute. To be in HH Sri

Swamiji's presence itself is a blessing and that too in the class.... OH..

inexpressible... There are no words to express that feeling of elevated

spirits. One should really enjoy !!

 

A number of wonderful discussions on the Realities of this Nature,

Soul, God, their relationships, their nature, creation, authenticity of various

scriptures, Various practices, festivals etc., went on aggressively which were

perfectly answered by HH Sri Swamiji quoting real time examples to the depth of

the understanding of the human mind.

 

Every one was amazed to know about our culture our Vedic tradition,

Srivaishnava tradition, that Bhagavad Ramanuja brought into light, to bring the

whole of the living beings under the umberella of one family "vasudhaiva

kutumbakam".

 

There was a sort of wonderful understanding and satisfaction observed

in all the members who attended the camp. Everyone listened to HH Sri Swamiji,

who conducted class like Hrushi:ke:sa, where every one was caught spell bound

for hours together sitting in their places forgetting themselves lending their

minds and hearts to HH Sri Swamiji, enjoying the nectarian voice, filled with

devotion and Love, revealing the greatness of the Lord and His various

attributes and Li:la:s.

 

Every one was of the opinion that they have learnt great lessons that

transformed their thoughts and purified them with the Divinity poured down by

our Acharya HH Sri Swamiji. This is only a beginning said HH Sri Swamiji. They

felt that they might have missed a lot.. if they haven't attended this camp and

it is a liftime memory that elevated their spirits to the heights of Pure

Divinity.

 

The camp was organised in a beautiful natural serene atmosphere. Some

classes were conducted in the open place and many were conducted in the class

room like environment. As the whether was cool and occasionally rainy it has

been a fantastic experience to be in Divine atmosphere under the Spiritual

umberella of HH Sri Swamiji.

 

May many such camps be conducted and every individual be a part of it

to finally enjoy the purpose of this birth, under the Divine guidance of our

Acharya HH Sri Sri Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji.
