Amma in India

Experience the Divine Mother’s Blessings

Sri Karunamayi
Chicago One Day Silent Meditation Retreat

Saturday, June 28, 2008

"It is meditation that will liberate us from the sensory world

and give us the experience of the pure Divine Consciousness."

Based on the success of last year's retreats, Amma has graciously offered to continue having One Day Retreats as part of her 2008 Tour. They are being offered so that more people can take advantage of this precious time with Amma in a retreat setting without disrupting their busy schedules. The retreats will provide a precious opportunity for devotees to deepen their meditation practice and to listen to the inspirational wisdom of Amma's divine discourses.

We cordially extend Amma's invitation to join Her for the one day silent meditation retreat at the Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple of Greater Chicago. All meditators, from beginners to those with an established practice, will benefit from the special retreat atmosphere. All will be spiritually nourished by Amma's serene presence, silent meditations, discourses and spiritual chanting.

There will be fifteen one day retreats during Sri Karunamayi's tour of North America. Please register early since these retreats tend

to fill up fast. A light lunch and snacks will be provided as part of the registration fee.

Please note that there will be a weekend Silent Meditation Retreat as part of the Guru Purnima celebrations in Houston from

July 18 - 20. Please visit our Guru Purnima page for more details.

“Establish a permanent connection with Mother through meditation. Cultivate contentment and spread love and peace in service to your fellow beings in the world. This is your duty as a human being. If you assume this responsibility in your heart, if you hold Mother’s power in your heart, no power in this world can affect you.”
~Amma
