AMRITA SRI(Silent Retreat Immersion)
Our true nature is peace, as evidenced by our constant yearning to realize it. Yet, mired in a world full of activity and distractions, we unknowingly estrange ourselves from our own true nature. We can protect our inner tranquility by withdrawing and immersing ourselves in an environment saturated with external silence while being guided to find that inner quietude, leading to a total rejuvenation of our being.
Amma is encouraging her centers around the world to conduct extended retreats of silent meditation to move towards a more peaceful world.
Amma’s monastic disciples based in North America, Br. Dayamrita Chaitanya, Br. Shantamrita Chaitanya, Br. Ramanand and Bri. Rema Devi are involved in organizing and conducting the silent retreats in various locations in North America. The focused structure of the retreat has been designed to support participants in cultivating the art of taking refuge in the Self. By learning to control the mind, we are able to experience the deep inner peace and joy that is our True Nature.
