			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Title: </strong>Spiritual Retreat: Deep bonding in the material world, friends till the end ?<br />
<strong>Location: </strong>TBD<br />
<strong>Time</strong>Saturday, Jun 15 2013 09:00 AM till Sunday, Jun 16 2013 05:30 PM<br />
<a href="http://bhaktilounge.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/deepbonding.jpg" rel="lightbox[6435]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6623" title="deepbonding" src="http://bhaktilounge.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/deepbonding-250x300.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="300" /></a><br />
<strong>Description: </strong>Join us for an exciting retreat, away from the city in the arms of nature and surrounded by Bhakti Yogis, specially travelling Monk of 40 years, Devamrita Swami. Life is all about forming relations, acquaintances or friends. Play your cards right, say the right thing and you are always surrounded by loved ones. Ever had a friend where you felt that this relationship would last forever, I can bare my soul to my friend and that is the best feeling in the world. After all, aren’t we friends till the end, while we may not know when the end will come and what will it be like?</p>
<p>Step away this weekend to take a fresh deep look at these dreams and desires we may be basing our life upon. Deep bonding and desire for eternal relationships when executed in a temporary world, could cause quiet a stir. Relook at the sense of comfort and coziness we feel in a temporary world and see how it quickly transforms to depression and despair when these bonds are broken.</p>
<p>We will deep dive into ancient yoga texts with Devamrita Swami and explore if it’s truly possible to have friends till the end? Enjoy the weekend in the arms of nature as we explore the wisdom jewels of ancient India along with delicious vegan meals and meditation music.</p>
<p>What to expect<br />
• Exciting insights from a Monk<br />
• Wilderness walks<br />
• Thought provoking videos<br />
• Mouthwatering and non stop yummy vegan food<br />
• Fun in the kitchen<br />
• Dancing Yoga<br />
• Deep meditation<br />
• Some of the sweetest most genuine people you would ever know </p>

<img src="/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/GM.gif" alt="Devamrita Swami" title="Devamrita Swami" width="128" height="152" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1114"><p>Devamrita Swami is a monk whose profound dedication to the spiritual path spans four decades. It was in 1972 that he first came in contact with the ancient wisdom of the East. His attraction to this transcendental knowledge was immediate and the effect profound; though a graduate of Yale University, he discovered that this would be the start of his real education. Since that time, through constant spiritual practice Devamrita Swami has matured in his understanding of these ancient truths and now spends his time sharing his realizations with others.</p><a href="javascript:ReverseContentDisplay('moreBio')">  <div id="toggleSwitch">[more info]<br/><br/><br/><br/></div></a><div id="moreBio" style="display:none;"><p>Devamrita Swami is the founder of the Institute of Sustainability, an advisor on 'spiritual economics' to the Russian Chamber of Commerce, and the author of several books, such as Searching for Vedic India, Perfect Escape, Beyond the Barriers of Limited Science, and Spiritual Greed. His strategic guidance has been invaluable to those seeking to balance their spiritual and professional lives.</p>  <p>To share what he's learned Devamrita Swami currently travels around the world to prestigious institutions like Columbia University, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Cardiff University, the University of Toronto, the Rotman School of Business, the Indian Institute of Technology, and many others. The main stops on his global circuit are Australia, New Zealand, North America, Argentina, Chile, India, Russia, South Africa, Central Europe, Scandinavia, and the UK. This is his fourth annual visit to Toronto. In the past three years he has addressed thousands of people on topics as diverse as yoga, environmentalism, vegetarianism, and spiritual economics.</p>  <br /> </div>

<p><strong>Description: </strong>Join us for an evening with traveling Monk of over 40 years, Devamrita Swami as he takes us on an exciting adventure within. He is also a Yale Graduate and the author of several books who has presented at top Universities around the world.</p>
<p>Life is a game and only winners succeed. That is the mantra of the contemporary society today. We log right on and make our moves and are taught to be confident about the moves we make. Confident that through a combination of some effort, a few good connections and right moves I will carve out a comfortable universe for my existence in this world. Here I am the centre and I make the calls. So we shake and swirl the dice with great attention as we throw them and see what the future holds.</p>
<p>May sound exciting speech for the mind but deep down we know though the reality is a little different. Fees, unemployment, broken relations, broken families &#8211; there is so much in the world that is out of our control. How can we take charge of the reins of our life ? Join us this evening for an exciting discussion with traveling monk Devamrita Swami where we can tap into decades of spiritual wisdom and global expertise to find how to make the dice roll what we want !</p>
<p>Expect a big sumptuous vegan feast to bring a huge appetite and be ready to enjoy soothing meditation music.</p>

<strong>Description: </strong>Step away from the shadow and the deceptive pursuit of illusions, join us for an awakening and enlightening discussion with traveling monk, Yale University graduate and author of several books Devamrita Swami.</p>
<p>Only dreamers can succeed or can they ? Everyone has a dream. And those whose dreams seem to fit in smoothly with our dreams or even better, enhance our dreams become our friends. And together we get even more creative to weave a world of greater dreams. Somehow down the track we loose touch with reality and forget the ability to discriminate between reality and illusion. Ancient yoga texts of the east explain &#8212; namely, deep sleep, dreaming and wakefulness &#8212; are simply displays of various phases of conditional life. Who is the dreamer and what is the Ultimate dream ?</p>
<p>Many dream of University life as the best time of our lives. Others dream of relationships or successful careers &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t hurt to dream. Whatever you want is yours in a dream so it takes a really brave soul to want to wake up and check out what reality looks like. If you are the courageous kind, join us for a bold evening of discussion and questions with Devamrita Swami. Delicious vegan meal and soul stirring meditation to stir your hunger.</p>
