Retreat – KABIR YATRA
Namaste, Soul Weavers!

We warmly invite you to a three-day Satsang Retreat into the heart of timeless wisdom and soulful connection at the 14th-century Fort Pokhran, Rajasthan. From December 6th to 8th, 2024, be part of this sacred gathering set amidst the mystical lands of the Sufis, Pokaran.

Take a respite from your daily routine and explore the wisdom of saints on life, love, humans, and spiritual connections. “तूने हीरो सो जनम गँवायो रे, भजन बिना बावरे।“—”A life as precious as a diamond is lost without soulful communion.” This retreat is an invitation to rediscover these connections and hear the timeless wisdom echoed through the ages.

Fort Pokhran, a remarkable heritage site, will serve as our sanctuary. Here, surrounded by the rustic beauty of Rajasthan, you’ll experience not only luxury but an intimate encounter with the region’s art, music, and culture. The shabad of saints and Sufi melodies will fill the air, sung by artists whose voices carry a rare blend of authenticity, devotion, and ancestral wisdom.

Dates: 6-8 December 2024

Venue: Fort Pokaran, Rajasthan

 

Why This Satsang Retreat is an Invitation to Self-Discovery

“This all-consuming abyss of emptiness—the void we often feel—cannot be filled by anything external. The peace we seek isn’t found on the highest peaks or the quietest shores but within the deepest corners of our own being. The path to this peace is not an easy one; it is a journey fewer undertake, a journey inward—a journey home. At a time when aggression and fear dominate our world, Kabir’s teachings offer grounding and sensitivity, for ourselves and those around us.

This three-day Satsang retreat at Fort Pokaran invites you on a sacred journey of self-discovery through the wisdom of saints and Sufis, where there is no rush, no competition—only a pure, endless exploration of the self.”
