The Irresistible Attraction of Divinity

“Amma’s life and deeds are my object of meditation. Her voice and words are, for me, the sounds of the Divine Flute—the sweet melody that roused me from deep slumber.” As part of the upcoming retreat, join Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri for a special session “The Irresistible Attraction of Divinity.” Listen as Swamiji contemplates the inspiration we can all draw from Amma’s every word and action. Witness never before seen footage of Amma in Krishna and Devi Bhava, and immerse yourself in a manasa puja (guided meditation) led by Swamiji.

Testimonials from past retreats

The entire retreat was a well rounded significant boost of support, encouragement, camaraderie, and inspiration, and was much more than I had expected.

I loved this retreat – I loved EVERYTHING about it

Fantastic retreat! Well-organized and technology worked. It’s very nice to have access to the sessions through the month. All at a very reasonable price.

This retreat had it all. I left with the impression that I had spent a weekend hanging out with Swamiji being himself and reveling in the company of others doing the same.

Totally a divine experience. Felt Amma’s grace and presence all along!

The whole retreat was an enchanting experience.

This was the most touching, inspiring, and heartfelt retreat I’ve participated in. It was very organized and smooth considering the size of the audience and how global it was as well.

I loved it so much. I deepened my practice, my sense of Amma inside me, it was so profound despite being virtual. I really felt the sense of community and connections to Amma’s darling children all over the world.

I particularly benefit from Swamiji’s Satsang and bhajans. He is imbued with devotion. I also really like when the Swamis and other devotees share their memories. Very heart-opening!

I enjoyed absolutely everything. It was so well done. Thank you to everyone who put this together with such care.
