why arunachala retreat in India?

Join Ajiit, founder of the Mauna House community and the art of JIAIDO movement meditation, for an annual pilgrimage retreat in one of India’s most sacred places, Tiruvannamalai. Nestled near the sacred Arunachala mountain, this retreat offers a chance to step away from everyday life and embark on a journey of self-discovery, exploring who you truly are beyond personal stories and self-beliefs.

retreat purpose

“who am I?”

A spiritual retreat is a dedicated time to step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in a highly spiritual environment. It provides a sanctuary for reflection, meditation, and spiritual growth. This time of introspection allows you to reconnect with your inner self, gain clarity, and a different perspective. It offers a profound opportunity for personal transformation and renewal.

The Arunachala Retreat is dedicated to exploring the fundamental question of Self-inquiry: “Who am I?” Guided by Ajiit and based on the teachings of the revered Indian sage, Ramana Maharshi, you can delve into this profound inquiry. The Ramana Ashram and the holy mountain of Arunachala provide invaluable support for this transformative journey of self-discovery.

Indian retreat program

Participate in two daily satsangs (meetings) with Ajiit, offering guidance on the profound question: “Who am I?” These meetings provide a great opportunity to ask questions and share your experiences about your inner journey and self-discovery.

Start the day with this powerful practice to awaken your inner power and focus your attention on the present moment, the Here and Now. With the majestic view of the Arunachala, morning JIAIDO movement meditation practice on the rooftop will give you an unforgottable experience.

Spend time at Ramana Ashram, home of the great Indian sage, Ramana Maharshi. Meditate in the hall, walk around his shrine, and enjoy a traditional lunch at the ashram.

Visit the sacred caves of Arunachala, where Ramana Maharshi spent many years in solitude and with his disciples. Spend time in silent meditation within these revered spaces.

Connect more deeply with your own being through the unique bodywork method of JIAIDO Ate, based on the power of conscious touch.

Sing mantras together before satsangs to open your heart and attune to your being.
