DAY 2 · TUESDAY, 13 APRIL

Serve, Leap & Take Refuge

Experience devotion through seva, the Great Leap story, reflection, chanting and silence. Explore courage rooted in remembrance and Grace.

Inner question: What is my ocean—and what is one step I can take? Day 2 also includes Rāma Likhita Japa (writing राम, the Name of Rāma) as a quiet practice of remembrance after the Great Leap.

Love & Surrender

Explore Rama-bhakti, the gift of loving service, and the final prayer of the Chalisa. Create a gentle, realistic practice to carry home.

Inner question: What do I truly want to make room for in my heart?

“From cleansing the mirror of the heart to inviting the Divine to dwell within it.”

A quiet practice: Rāma Likhita Japa

After the Great Leap reflection, gently write the sacred Name राम (Rāma). No knowledge of Devanāgarī is needed: you can trace the letters or write Rāma in Latin letters. The focus is remembrance, not the number of repetitions.

For whom?

A devotional retreat with room for different starting points

This retreat is designed for Bhakti Marga devotees and people who feel drawn to Hanuman, Rama and the path of bhakti. Beginners are welcome: you do not need to know the Chalisa by heart, speak Sanskrit or have attended a similar retreat.

Experienced devotees can explore familiar teachings at a deeper level through seva, silence and personal reflection. Participation in sharing and chanting can be adapted to personal comfort.

The retreat is openly devotional and rooted in bhakti, with a welcoming approach for first-time participants.
