Retreat in Italy: Dharma, living in harmony (May 29–June 1) & Retreat in Tenerife: Har Gobinday (July 11–18)

Namaste to all,

Kriya Yoga is a path to Self-realization and the liberation of consciousness (moksha). This consists of a comprehensive practice that includes daily structured meditation along with bringing this elevated consciousness, derived from meditation, into actions in the world, performed with presence in every word, gesture, and thought. The entire life is of vital importance and is part of the spiritual path of Kriya Yoga.

All the practices and studies of the Prema Kriya Yoga school are intended to purify the body and mind, making and keeping them healthy and strong, rebalancing and strengthening the glands and nervous system with the aim of awakening the vital energy (prana) so that practices of concentration (dharana) and long, contemplative, and deep meditations (dhyana), like those of Kriya Yoga, are possible and flow gracefully. Only in this way can this awakening be brought into daily life.

For those who wish to undertake the path of yoga, it is essential to seek balance in living in the world without being of it: developing the daily discipline of meditation, internalization, looking and studying deeply within oneself; and, at the same time, maintaining loving awareness in every action and choice in life.

In fact, Yogananda, the great master of Kriya Yoga, said that true freedom is not the freedom to do anything, but the freedom to do what must be done, guided by wisdom and a profound connection within the True Self, by the Infinite Divine Consciousness (or whatever you wish to call It), derived from the intuition that arises precisely from meditation.

I observe that, nowadays, there is some confusion in the spiritual world and in yoga (and beyond): many want to “achieve wisdom and realization without a path, without a journey, without discipline or effort.” I even sense a certain belief spreading rapidly that “meditating is easy: it’s too easy to just sit there “doing nothing,” and living life is difficult.” Life certainly isn’t a walk in the park and it’s a constant learning process, but the question arises: “If meditating is so easy, why do so few seekers maintain a daily, sustained “sadhana” or spiritual practice?”

Of course, we can function in the world in a meditative, conscious state: this too is of real importance. However, for those who wish to consciously evolve and grow spiritually, dedication and determination to meditate are necessary: only in this way will acceptance of what comes, both within and without, arise spontaneously and truly, along with the authentic development of non-judgment and unconditional love for oneself and others, and the expression of the Creative Truth of the Self…

By meditating attentively, one comes to the realization that each person is doing their best, within what their consciousness can grasp, at that moment… One understands that we all have our own shadows and difficulties to work through, both internally and externally… Astrologically speaking: “Saturn” (Shani) is in some house and constellation of each of us, and this Master does his work of slowing down and teaching: to arrive at patience and Wisdom (Gyan).

For those who wish to embark on an authentic journey, I am here for you, with all my heart.
I have been following this path for several years with immense devotion and feel a duty and mission to accompany other souls who hear the call.

Guru Yogananda (and every truly enlightened Master and Teacher) has always emphasized “bringing the portable paradise” of meditation into every moment of daily life. At the same time, he also emphasized the need to set aside moments throughout the year to enter more deeply into silence, deepen one’s metaphysical practices and studies, and thus fully regenerate, so as to then bring this Light of Consciousness more powerfully into one’s life.

It’s essential for a seeker on the yogic path to retreat from everyday life at least twice a year. Being with other souls on the path strengthens the “sangha,” or spiritual family, and helps us renew our intentions for growth and evolution.

For those who want to immerse themselves in practices, studies, and nature, both inside and out
