Shibir
Distinguishing Truths
How do we recognise our suitcase when we go to pick it up from the carousel at the airport after a flight? It may have distinguishing features, a label or strap or tag. We recognise its colour and shape and brand.
If we want to recognise our soul, then we must understand its distinguishing features or characteristics that are unique to it and not present in any other object.
Br. Minalben understands these charactistics, immerses in them and is well qualified to help us understand their nature. Using Param Krupaludev Shrimad Rajchandraji's writings she will share these characteristics and the insights she has to help us see them too.
The 3 day shibir will consist of meditations for those instructed in this practice, swadhyays or lectures, opportunities for silence, reflection and devotional bhakti.
