Bhagavad Gita Retreat with Poojya Swamiji, Nutan Swamiji, and Ma at Fairfield Inn, Marriott, Irvine (19 - 23 June 2024) (1)

The Bhagavad Gita Retreat by CIRD-NA was a resounding success! Over 100 participants from the US, India, and Malaysia gathered for four transformative days under the guidance of Poojya Swamiji, Nutan Swamiji, and Ma.

Each morning began with a serene silent sitting, setting a contemplative tone for the day. Enlightening sessions led by Poojya Swamiji, Nutan Swamiji, and Ma delved deeply into the essence of the Gita, offering valuable insights and fostering spiritual growth.

The retreat featured various enriching activities, including chanting sessions where participants recited selected shlokas chosen by Poojya Swamiji. These sessions deepened the understanding of the Bhagavad Gita and created a sense of unity among the participants. Over 50 dedicated individuals fondly referred to as ‘Annapoornis/Shaktis’ prepared home-cooked sattvik meals, enhancing the retreat experience with wholesome, nutritious food. The icing on this beautiful retreat was a soulful Namasankeerthana led by Poojya Swamiji.

This holistic retreat left everyone feeling uplifted, inspired, and ready to incorporate the Gita’s timeless teachings into their daily lives.
