Trinity Retreat 2011
Swamiji’s lectures had a positive influence on me and they greatly inspired me; to do my best and leave the rest to God. Overall, I really enjoyed the Yoga, lectures, bhajans, and celebrating Radha’s birthday. I really enjoyed most the parikrama part of the retreat, it was my favorite where I got to connect with nature and keep God’s name in my mind and heart.

It was wonderful experience. A much needed medicine for my poor soul that was crying out to God for salvation. They have helped me a lot. I had a weak resolve, but now I am inspired to try harder to let go of things that bind me and make me forget about Manmohan.

It was as if we got a peek into the eternal bliss we are striving to achieve. It was an excellent 3 days spent at the retreat in Swamiji’s presence.

I would say that the bhajan sessions were our most favorite since we were able to enjoy the music as well as the bhajans. It was as if we were singing in front of God.
Special thanks to the volunteers who have put in such a great event. Outstanding planning and excellent execution.
