Boston Region Ananda Marga Retreat

 

At Earthdance in Plainfield, Massachussets around 70 participants gathered for the fall retreat of Ananda Marga in New York Sector.

The retreat is organized with a spring and fall edition. It runs for a weekend with a very well proven formula that makes every time a success in terms of participation, inspiration, quality of the workshops and, of course, best vegetarian organic food.

 

Are these the only secrets?Let us ask to some of the participants, old and new ones:

 

Keval Kumar - The love and sharing; the inspiration directed towards the Supreme goal; that is what motivates me to come and bring more people with me every time.

 

Anadi - The family feeling.

 

Shantidevi - I like to meet my friends and there is more time to do kiirtan and meditation.

 

Sudhiira - There are many kinds of different people. Baba wanted universalism and here   it is manifested.

 

Parashakti - There is good energy at the site of the retreat. It is a comfortable place and people like to come again. It is also placed in a good location.

 

Emily - The locations is very pretty. The peaceful and serene environment sets the vibe for the whole retreat.

 

Nityananda - I like the place, the people, the food and everything.

 

Vishvanath - This place is very special and particularly the round room where we do meditation gives me the feeling of a sacred temple. It is an opportunity to be with a lot of people from different cultural backgrounds.

 

Arati & Vishala - Because we all love each other. Because we are family and all stayed here together many times. Three family acaryas are here and they also love this place.

 

Richa - The practice of service during the retreat is very helpful for getting everyone to participate and bond together.

 

Tapas Kumar - For me it is the closest place. I come here and I have always good time. I like the kiirtan, the program, the people and the vibration.

 

Nirmal - There are many senior margis who have been actively taken part in organizing this retreat as well as regional events for many years.

 

Dada Viveka - From the side of one of the organizers I really don’t know what the secret is. Perhaps it is that we have a core group of people who have worked together for thirty years.

Madhu - I have been coming to this retreat my whole life and it always feels like spending time with family.
