Experience the mystical Shakti of the ancient Himalayan Yoga along with its great powers of rejuvenation and transformation through mantra, pranayama, devotion and meditation in a beautiful secluded setting on the banks of Ma Ganga. Learn important keys to Raja Yoga, Ayurvedic medicine, Hindu Tantra and Vedic astrology with special sadhanas, rituals, fire ceremonies, Yogini Bhava chants, Ganga Snana and sacred dance forms. Learn to connect with the Devi and with the presence of Shiva throughout all aspects of your life and being, with an experience to take with you for a life time. Spend six days deepening your Yoga Shakti guided through sacred practices designed to awaken the higher Self and empower the flow of divine grace within. The Fourth Ma Ganga Shakti Retreat is a special yearly event hosted by the American Institute of Vedic Studies for sadhaks, seekers, Yoga, Ayurveda and Jyotish students worldwide. It is located at a beautiful retreat center on the Ganga River twenty five kilometers above the holy city of Rishikesh, India, in a serene location surrounded by the Himalayan foothills in a private narrow valley. It occurs in the beautiful month of March when the region is in its spring bloom of warm days and pleasant nights. Pt. Vamadeva Shastri (Dr. David Frawley) and Yogini Shambhavi guide the participants in a yogic celebration of Shiva and Shakti as living realities woven into the entire fabric of life, offering daily classes, workshops, satsangs and discussions. The teachings are rendered in the traditional gurukul manner, outdoors sitting under Lychee trees laden with flowers with the roaring Ganga as background music. The theme of this year's retreat will be Soma, Rejuvenation and Immortality, exploring physical revitalization, psychological transformation in order to connect with our eternal essence beyond all death and sorrow. We will examine how to work with the various Somas of body, senses, prana, mind and consciousness through the five koshas and five elements. There will be special daily themes devoted to Tantra, Shiva, Shakti, Ayurveda, Vedic astrology and Vedanta. Venue The program is located at the famous Neemrana resort above Rishikesh, which inspires one with its pristine settings of orchards and gardens by the River Ganga where individual cottages give privacy and gourmet vegetarian meals are a delight, set outside on the verandah. We rent out the entire facility, so there are no outside disturbances. The resort is close by the famous Vasishta Guha (meditation cave) that we will also visit one of the days, and is part of an old royal property frequented by Anandamayi Ma and many other great gurus and yogis over the past century. You will come into contact with a broad range of spiritual aspirants from North and South America, Europe and India, and every walk of life who will gather together to share their experiences and come into contact with the great Yoga Shakti of the Himalayas. Nearby Rishikesh offers a variety of ashrams and their various programs, notably the International Yoga Festival at Paramarth Niketan in Rishikesh (March 1-7), where both Vamadeva and Shambhavi will be speaking. This important conference occurs the week before the retreat and features Yoga teachers from all over the world.
