One Week Intensive Retreat with Ajiit - Tiruvannamalai, India
20-26 January, 2025
3-9 March, 2025
“Are you ready to drop everything that you think you have or you are?"
This message may sound scary but it is the most direct and ultimate pointing to a necessary state that exists in every spiritual path and tradition.
The real state of surrender is basically invisible.
In this state one has no interest and desire to keep his identification to his own external and internal world. The external world is related to the material and personal relations with the society and the environment, while the internal includes one’s concepts, knowledge, beliefs and even his own self image.
It can be described as coming to the end of the world.
The state of surrender is almost overlapping with the state of freedom, which the Sufi tradition calls Fana and Buddhism calls Nirvana.
During the one week intensive retreat Ajiit will guide those who are really serious and eager
to discover their true nature to this state of surrender.
"I am not promising you peace and love during the retreat,
but I will help you remove the obstacles which do not allow you to see who you are."
Ajiit
What do you need to attend?
Basically, you don't need intellectual or spiritual knowledge of any spiritual path.
In fact, it is great support if you can leave all your knowledge and intellectual mind aside for at least one week.
What really helps you in this short time to get the most benefit is to be honest, to be brave and
have common sense and an open mind.
Principles of the retreat
The retreat is intensive individual and group work with Ajiit, therefore it is important to keep the integrity and focus of the whole group and not to disturb it by organizing individual programs for yourself. The retreat is dedicated to come closer and eventually discover your true nature, so it requires your full attention and participation physically, mentally and emotionally as well. Please avoid using the free time for unnecessary conversation out of retreat environment and please remain inactive and silent also in the form of cyber communication. t is designed to come out from the personal routine and habits, including the tendency of following the suggestions of the mind. Therefore we kindly ask you to follow the guidelines and discipline of the retreat, for the entire time of your stay.
Please note, that the retreat organizers can ask you to leave the program without any refund, if you cannot or will not follow the regulations of the retreat.
