Japa Retreat and Govardhan Retreat 2006

---------------------------

Dear Devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Jaya

Sri Guru and Gauranga! Jaya Sri Vraja Mandala ki jay!

 

VIHE is happy to announce that this year after Kartik Semester in Vrindavan

(see http://vihe.org/kartik.htm) we are scheduled to begin our first Japa

Retreat in Varshana.

 

We are going to reside at Varshana, visiting places like Ter Kadamba

(Sanatana Gosvami's bhajan place in the forest), Ucchagaon (Lalita Devi's

residence), Maur Kutir to chant in these special sites. The whole retreat,

as the title suggests, is focused on quality japa. Special classes/workshops

related to the Holy Name will be given by HH Sacinandana Swami, HG Bhurijana

Prabhu and other senior devotees.

 

The dates are November 10 through November 15. All serious aspirants are

invited. To register or to find out more details, please write to

vihe (AT) pamho (DOT) net. Only the registered devotees will be admitted to the

Retreat. There are special concessions for those who attend also the

Govardhan Retreat.

 

Our sixth *Govardhan Retreat* is scheduled to run from November 17 through

24. This is an intense spiritual program aiming at a deep personal

transformation through the mercy of the five most potent forms of devotional

service. We stay at the lap of Sri Govardhan and, besides a sweet morning

program and delightful evening kirtans interspersed with Gaura-lila, we have

two long sessions/workshops with Krsna-katha in the forest near the merciful

Giriraj. The main teachers are HH Sacinandana Swami, HG Bhurijan Prabhu, and

HG Jagattarini Mataji, with guest teachers like HH Bhakti Vijnana Gosvami,

HG Madhavananda Prabhu and possibly others. Special topics for the previous

years included: Difficulties as Krsna's mercy; Qualities of Krsna; Holy Name

as our main practice; Going beyond mechanical chanting; Trees of Vrindavan;

Birds of Vrindavan; Visiting Holy Dhama; Bhagavatam as a solution and many

others. We also visit some special places in the area of Giriraj. You can

get unlimited mercy of Sri Govardhan.
