Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is a joyous time of celebrations, and an opportunity to look forward with hope, faith and optimism. Diwali is the celebration of light over darkness; of wisdom over ignorance; of truth over deception. It is also a time to honour Maha Lakshmi, the Goddess of abundance, success and prosperity, a time of reflection and introspection; a time when we make the resolve to live in the Light with abundance, truth and wisdom.

On this day, as we light beautiful diyas / lamps in our homes to welcome Lord Raam and Ma Sitaji [incarnations of Lord Vishnu and MahaLakshmi], we must also awaken the light in our hearts and allow that Divine Light to fill our hearts with love, compassion, confidence and courage.

Come, be in the presence of the Spiritual Masters as you awaken the Divine Light within. Bathe in the holy waters of Ma Ganga in the lap of the majestic and sacred Himalayas as you cleanse, and release hurts, pains, beliefs which are preventing you from discovering the joy that you are. 

Receive the blessings of the Maha Lakshmi so you can rejuvenate and re-energize yourself to let your own inner Light emerge. Discover your inner wisdom and allow the divine to take birth in your life and shine forth! 

This 4-day Special Diwali Spiritual Retreat includes special Diwali rituals / pooja, yagna / homa, pranayama, basic yoga asanas including surya namaskar, satsang [spiritual question & answer sessions] dedicated to the messages of Diwali, meditation, self-reflection, karma yoga, and much more. Each day begins with yoga and concludes with Ganga havan and aarti at sunset followed by satsang with Pujya Sadhviji. Experience a transformative retreat and discover the Beacon of Light that you are.
