“I feel privileged and blessed to participate in the Navaratri retreat. it has been absolutely incredible and enlightening experience. The subtle and gentle form of the event made me feel happy and gave me space for inner work and reflection. The place is so peaceful and the spiritual energy that I felt there will stay in my heart forever. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and I want to come back in the future. ”

“This special Retreat allowed me to open more and more my heart, with an emotional and spiritual connection, coming to the ashram during a special festival is the best things to grow, learn and practice.  Thanks to all the teachers specially the beautiful soul who gave us the chanting and philosophy, Mataji and thanks to the others students who came for the same and great memories.  What an honor and privilege to have shared these moments with Pujya swamiji & Sadhvi, Bhagawati.”

“This wonderful opportunity provided by Parmarth Niketan during auspicious time of Navratri could transformed us completely from within and we feel enlightened and our soul is possibly reborn which will guide us in all our future endeavors and to the service of the mankind and humanity at large.  We bow our head with great sense of humility to Shradhyea param Pujya swamiji ,Pujya Sadhviji , Mataji, our respected yoga teachers Ms. Induji and Ms. Valentina for making our spritiual beginnings so successful and hope we will devote to the service of humanity rather than self”.

“I came to the Navratri retreat with a very traditional understanding of the divine feminine as the destroyer of evil, blessing of prosperity and knowledge. But I saw all these as outside of myself. The retreat, with its intensive round the clock activities all harmonizing the yoga or union of our divine feminine within us, brought me in touch with the divine feminine within myself for the very first time. It helped me to see the benefits of a peaceful yogic spiritual existence. Darshan with Pujya Swamiji, the Ganga Aarti and blessings of Sadhviji made the ritual of the retreat more meaningful and life transforming, as they explained the essence behind each action. Yoga done with traditional mantras has convinced me to adopt both as a lifestyle choice. The biggest blessing was to do this by the Ganges. I am much more deeply connected with myself and now have a way forward, for which I am forever grateful to Parmarth. Lastly, the love, teachings and wisdom of the Sevaks, Mataji, Saadhviji and Swamiji, and the many friends I made from around the world are all going back with me as my cocoon of love to meet my real world challenges with peace and joy.”
