2018 Mauni Amavasya Silence Retreats

“Silence is silence when you have the intention, make the sankalpa, to keep a spiritual silence and then your mind is filled with spiritual contemplation and mantra, whether sitting, eating, bathing, lying down or running.” – Swami Veda Bharati in Motto for All Future Silence Days.

Mauni Amavasya will be 16th January 2018. There will be Mauni Amavasya Silence Retreats 7th - 16th January 2018 or 16th - 25th January 2018 at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG), in Rishikesh, India.

Swami Ma Radha Bharati will be the Silence Guide for these retreats.

Come for either 10 days or 20 days. Please plan to arrive a couple of days before the starting date and plan to stay at least one day after the silence retreat. This is with approval of the silence guide. Approval for the full 10 or 20 days of silence may be contingent upon prior systematic silence practice and/or experience in the basic practices of the Himalayan Tradition.

Editor’s Note:

There will also be three silence retreats in 2018 in celebration of the finale of Swami Veda's 5-year Mauna Vrata (silence vow), which was taken March 10, 2013. The dates for these retreats are: 7 day retreat – March 4-10, 2018; 25 day retreat – February 14 – March 10, 2018; and 40 day retreat – January 29 – March 10, 2018.
