Vowed Order Retreat

July 16 - 21

Lokananda Retreat Center, Downingtown PA

Reaffirm and renew your Svaroopa^® Vidya Order vows while supporting your honored peers. Our annual retreat, exclusively for Vowed Members, helps you dive in deeper. Eligible members include Vratins, Brahmacharins, and Sannyasins.

The sage Narada speaks of the immense value of good company, urging you to spend time with saints and other yogis. He says, “There is no difference between God and his true devotees.” (Bhakti Sutras 41) — Gurudevi Nirmalananda

This retreat features:

• Lots of time with Gurudevi, for practices and formal teachings as well as informal time with her.
• Renewal of your Vows in a formal ceremony with Gurudevi.
• And, best of all, the daily Ashram schedule and seva to support our program.

This retreat is for those who have already made their vows and relish the opportunity to practice and study together. Attendance is not mandatory, but any Vowed Member who does not make this annual retreat a priority will be questioned about their commitment to and participation in the Vowed Order.

It was such a rich, beautiful and deep program that helps you to go deeper within your Self and share experiences with others who are on the same path. - Ellen M
