Sadhana Camp

[English below]

[EN]

Join us for a deep spiritual journey at Sadhana Camp from October 27th to November 2nd in Ananda Kalyani, Portugal.

Notice: This retreat is exclusively for Ananda Marga meditation practitioners (participants must have completed at least two Ananda Marga meditation lessons) and will be conducted in both English and Portuguese.

Overview: Sadhana Camp is not just a retreat. It’s an opportunity to focus solely on your spiritual practices and discipline without external distractions. Our collective discipline is paramount, akin to being swept by the strong current of a mighty river, carrying everyone along. This year, with the guidance of Dada Madhuvidyananda, we will spend 7 days in silence, practising our Sadhana intensely. But be aware, this journey is not for the faint of heart. There will be strict discipline and participants are expected to wake up early in the morning, meditate 8 hours per day, and spend the whole retreat in silence. Body aches and mental clash are unavoidable. As a reward though, you can count on having one of the most wonderful, soul elevating, blissful experiences you have ever had. During this retreat, we will make sure you won’t have any excuses. Your mind will be focused on your goal. Where will it lead you?

Dada Madhuvidyananda 

Dada Madhuvidyananda Avadhuta went to Acarya Training at the age of 19 years and became an Acarya in 1984. In 1985 Baba initiated him in Kapalik Sadhana and as an Avadhuta. 

Dada has worked in Australia, New Zealand, Greece, Croatia, Albania, USA and now in Germany. Here he founded the Ananda Ashram, which serves as a jagrti, Training Centre and PRI (Prout Research Institute). He also founded the German Prout party MENSCHLICHE WELT, which is spreading Prout and Neohumanism in political elections and other activities. This is the first time that Dada comes to Portugal.

What you can expect:

• Japa (Mantra Repetition): Engage in the profound practice of Japa, the repetition of your personal mantra, to instill spiritual ideation. Throughout the day, immerse yourself in the recitation of your Ista mantra and Guru mantra, reinforcing your spiritual focus and inner transformation.
• Maunavrata (Vow of Silence): Experience the power of silence during Maunavrata, fostering deep spiritual introspection. Embrace external silence, redirecting your energy towards spiritual contemplation and self-analysis. Silence is maintained except during designated discussion sessions, allowing for spiritual discourse and inquiry.
• Daily Kirtan and Meditation: Participate in 8 hours of daily Kirtan and meditation, adhering to specific guidelines to optimize your practice. Maintain reverence during meditation sessions, refraining from disturbances and bathroom breaks except during designated intervals.

Additionally:

• Any personal needs or suggestions can be expressed only during specific times.
• The duration of meditation after Avarta Kirtan in the evening is flexible, allowing for individual practice before bedtime.

Note: Stay tuned for further updates and announcements as we prepare for this experience. We look forward to welcoming you to Sadhana Camp.
