This experience is designed to help you understand the foundations of Bhakti, practice them in a guided environment, observe their effect on your life, and gain personal realizations through direct experience.
Whether you are new to spiritual life or already on the path, this program offers a supportive structure for inner growth, conscious living, and meaningful connection.

wisdom study
Narada Bhakti Sutras (The Yoga of Love)
Throughout the ages, wise and highly evolved souls have taught the science of self-realization, which can be attained when we learn to connect with the Divine through love and devotion. This science is Bhakti Yoga — the path of loving devotional service.
Just as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali describe the process of meditative yoga, the Narada Bhakti Sutras are a profound exposition on the Yoga of Love.
In our morning wisdom classes, we study Bhakti Yoga through Narada’s teachings to better understand devotion, inner transformation, and how Bhakti can be practiced in daily life.
Themes Covered in the Classes
practical learning
Workshops, Activities & Practical Learning
Along with daily spiritual practices and wisdom study, participants will also explore Bhakti through practical learning, guided workshops, and shared experiences.
These sessions may include learning how to better understand and guide the mind, how to develop discipline in daily life, and how to build supportive spiritual habits. Participants may also learn devotional cooking and how food is prepared and offered as prasadam, basic instrument playing for kirtan, and selected Vedic ceremonies or pujas.
At different times, we may also explore other living expressions of Bhakti, such as worship of Mother Ganga and related devotional practices.
Some days will include group activities, team-based experiences, and visits to special holy places — creating joyful opportunities to connect, learn together, and deepen the experience in a natural way.
