Dridha Bhumi Retreat with Shri Guruji

Kriya Yoga Institute is delighted to announce the inaugural Dṛḍha Bhūmi Retreat, a seven-day Kriya Yoga retreat to be held May 6-12, 2027, at the Temple of Compassion in Burton, Texas, in the divine presence and guidance of Shri Guruji.

The retreat is inspired by Sage Patañjali’s timeless teaching:
स तु दीर्घकाल नैरन्तर्य सत्कारासेवितो दृढभूमिः॥१.१४॥
sa tu dīrgha-kāla-nairantarya-satkārāsevito dṛḍha-bhūmiḥ
“Practice becomes firmly established when pursued for a long time, without interruption, and with reverence.”

Dṛḍha Bhūmi means a firm foundation. Rooted in this teaching and Shri Guruji's guidance, this retreat is dedicated to one simple principle: practice transforms.

The purpose of the retreat is not to learn new techniques, but to deepen our existing Kriya practice that we have already received through the grace of the Gurus.

Participants should expect approximately six hours of guided and silent meditation daily, along with satsang, spiritual discussion, and opportunities for quiet reflection.

Who Should Participate?

This retreat is intended for initiated Kriyavans who have established a sincere and regular meditation practice. Those practicing at least one to two hours daily will generally be best prepared to benefit from the program.

Further details regarding registration and accommodations will be shared soon.
