Amrita SRI (Silent Retreat Immersion)

About Us

We live in a world of turbulence and turmoil, constantly bombarded by the chatter of our gadgets and minds. Understanding our need to shut out this noise and experience the deep inner peace and joy that is our true nature, Amma has urged her disciples in the USA to conduct extended silent meditation retreats.

This retreat reinforces existing spiritual practices and provides the foundation for a lifetime of meditation practice. Connecting with the sacred and ancient wisdom within ourselves brings meaning to life. Benefits include clarity and strength of mind to achieve your goals, staying centered in an ever-changing world and overcoming stress and tension.

Amma’s simple technique of breath awareness infused with the MA-OM mantras and open observation makes this retreat suitable for all levels of experience in meditation from beginner to advanced. Meditation format alternates between sitting and walking sessions.

MA Centers offer a week-long or weekend Silent Retreats around the year in the North American Centers. Amma’s North American based monastic disciples, Br. Dayamrita Chaitanya, Br. Shantamrita Chaitanya, Br. Ramanand and Bri. Rema Devi are involved in planning, organizing and leading these retreats.

AMRITA SRI(Silent Retreat Immersion)

Our true nature is peace, as evidenced by our constant yearning to realize it. Yet, mired in a world full of activity and distractions, we unknowingly estrange ourselves from our own true nature. We can protect our inner tranquility by withdrawing and immersing ourselves in an environment saturated with external silence while being guided to find that inner quietude, leading to a total rejuvenation of our being.
Amma is encouraging her centers around the world to conduct extended retreats of silent meditation to move towards a more peaceful world.

Amma’s monastic disciples based in North America, Br. Dayamrita Chaitanya, Br. Shantamrita Chaitanya, Br. Ramanand and Bri. Rema Devi are involved in organizing and conducting the silent retreats in various locations in North America. The focused structure of the retreat has been designed to support participants in cultivating the art of taking refuge in the Self. By learning to control the mind, we are able to experience the deep inner peace and joy that is our True Nature.
