Vaishnavi Retreat
If you’re looking for spiritual inspiration and association of advanced devotee women, the Vaishnavi Retreat in New Vrindaban can’t be beat! Â
Over 50 women joined together last weekend to share realizations and attend classes on topics such as forgiveness, learning slokas, writing, pranayama, eating habits, money, herbs, Hatha Yoga, book distribution, mendhi designs, creating mandalas, beautiful deity dressing, and much more!
Besides the captivating classes, there were extraordinarily sweet moments of singing bhajans around a campfire, and attending an all-women morning program in Srila Prabhupada’s Palace of Gold.
When asked what their expectations of the retreat were, women told us:
“I expected nice, balanced, wholesome spiritual sanga. They were fulfilled!”
“That this year would be at least as good as last year and it was – in some ways even better!”
“My expectations were to throw myself into this environment and sing, learn and devote my mind to Lord Krishna. Also to learn some spiritual thoughts from the scholars. Yes – they were fulfilled.”
Many thanks to Mother Malati, Labangalatika, and all the volunteers for their dedicated work in organizing this amazing event!Â
