Weekend Retreat: Vedanta in Daily Life
Friday, April 12, 2024 – Sunday, April 14, 2024 PDT
IN PERSON OR ONLINE
With senior teacher Swami Jnaneswariananda
You are the architect of your own fate. You are the master of your own destiny. You can do and undo things. You sow an action and reap a tendency. You sow a tendency and reap a habit. You sow a habit and reap your character. You sow your character and reap your destiny. Therefore, destiny is your own creation. You can undo it if you like – destiny is a bundle of habits.”
—Swami Sivananda
Vedanta is the science and the art of living one’s life at its highest and the best. It is not a question of abandoning something or holding onto something, but of a change in the vision of life. Vedanta is as simple as life; and it is also as complex as life is.
