Retreat at Ma Sharanam, in India, with Swamiji and Ramani
Jan
18
to Jan 30

Retreat at Ma Sharanam, in India, with Swamiji and Ramani

Swakriya Yoga Retreat with Swami Gurusharan and Ramani at Ma Sharanam

Join us January 18–30, 2026 for a 13-day retreat at Ma Sharanam Ashram during the sacred month of the Ma Kumbh. We’ll begin with a few days to rest, adjust to the time zone, and ease into the rhythm of ashram life. Then, over five days, Swamiji will offer teachings on the elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether — aligning with powerful festivals like Saraswati Jayanti and Narmada Jayanti. Each day will include morning and evening classes with Swamiji, opportunities for darshan, seva, and chanting, and gentle embodied practices with Ramani in the afternoon to deepen our connection to each element. Evenings will close with satsang, teachings, and quiet reflection. This is a beautiful opportunity to immerse ourselves in Ma’s presence, recharge, and receive clear spiritual guidance in a supportive and sacred environment.

Participants will gather with Ramani on January 18 at a hotel in Indore, our meeting place before officially traveling to the ashram together later that day. If you would like more time to rest or adjust before the retreat begins, you’re welcome to arrange your stay at the hotel for January 16 or 17.

If your heart feels the call, reach out. The cost of the retreat (not including airfare) will be $1,008, which will flow through SAMAT in its entirety to Ma Sharanam. To reserve your spot a $300 deposit will be collected at sign up. This deposit is refundable until November 30th, 2025. There will be ample opportunity to donate further to Ma Sharanam at the end of the retreat, if you are moved to do so. 

Email Ramani to sign up and any questions at universalbhakti108@gmail.com.

Cancelled-Ma Satsang 3/2

Cancelled-Ma Satsang 3/2

CANCELLED. Sunday, March 2.

We are sorry to say that we have had a setback in our moving plans to our new space from where we will hold Ma Satsang. We have to cancel Ma’s Temple’s moving this Saturday and our first hybrid, Ma Satsang, on Sunday, March 2.

We just found out from the landlord of our new house here in Amherst that there has been extensive water damage to the ceiling of the large finished basement space to which we were moving to Ma’s Temple this Saturday. We won’t be able to determine the extent of the damage until Sunday, when our beloved Sangha brother, Denis Wogan, will come to assess it with us. From there, the repairs will begin.

However, we have decided to hold a Zoom Ma Satsang this Tuesday, March 4, from 7-8:30.
