Mantra Initiates Reunion Weekend: Rekindling the Fire for Spiritual Growth
with Swami Asokananda, E-RYT 500 and Special Guests
May 15 - 17, 2020
For everyone with Integral Yoga mantra initiation
Reinvigorate your enthusiasm for your spiritual journey as a mantra initiate and become re-inspired in your practice by senior monks, ministers, ashramites, and each other. Let’s come together to share how we are doing, to practice together, and to remind each other of the blessing of having a teacher, teachings, and a sangha.
Receiving mantra initiation in the Integral Yoga Tradition was a critical juncture on our soul’s long, long journey. It was a big decision and commitment on our part.
Some initiates may be practicing in environments that are not very supportive. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for anyone to maintain their zeal.
Just as temples need to occasionally have their energies restored and re-infused, just as it is helpful for couples to renew their marriage vows, so also can disciples benefit from returning to their initial intention and re-establishing their desire for spiritual growth.
“The glory of the name of God cannot be established through reasoning and intellect. It can certainly be experienced or realized, only through devotion, faith, and constant repetition.”—Master Sivananda
