Gurudakshina GurudakshinaThe concept of gurudakshina is very ancient and it is unique to the Indian culture and tradition. If you are absolutely naïve about India, then it's advisable that you first try to understand the meaning of a guru and the significance of his presence in the lives of those around him. This, in turn, will help you to understand what guru dakshina is. In very simple words, a guru can be described as a teacher, though, as per the Hindu dharma, the role of a guru in the life of his students is much more than just teaching. In modern times, the role of a teacher has just got limited to imparting knowledge of various subjects like Mathematics, Science, English, etc, to pupils. However, in ancient India, a teacher or a guru was a spiritually evolved guide. Along with the knowledge of various subjects, he also taught his students how to live a disciplined and principled life. A guru was the spiritual guiding force in the life of his students. Infact, as per the ancient Hindu tradition, one had to live life in four stages known as ashrams. Considering that a man can live for a 100 years, each stage was divided into a span of 25 years. The first stage or ashram was Brahmacharya, spanning the first 25 years of a person's life. During this time, a man lived in the house of his guru. The next stage was Grihastha, which was to be lived as a married man and householder. This was followed by Vanaprastha, which comprised of performing penance in a forest. The final one was Sanyasa, in which a man lived as an ascetic. It's the life of Brahmacharya that is most closely connected with the concept of gurudakshina. In ancient times, a student lived the first 25 years in the house of his guru, which was called gurukul. A beautiful thing about gurukul was that all students resided together as equals irrespective of their social standing. The students learnt from the guru and also helped him in his day-to-day life like his own children. It was at the conclusion of this formal education that one was required to repay his guru through a dakshina. The Indian tradition of guru dakshina was meant to serve as a way of showing respect and thanks to the guru. The repayment was not always monetary. At times, a teacher used to simply ask his student to execute an important task. However, the guru often received a valuable gift or donations from the pupil and his family as his gurudakshina. Though the life style of Indians has changed majorly down the years, yet the reverence and respect we pay to our teachers is still as it was a hundred years back.

...The direct impact of a living Master on one's spiritual journey can be incalculable, but the cultural climate of the Westernised world is hostile to this precious encounter: stories of negative encounters outweigh stories of positive encounters by ten to one. This may be partly due to a spiritual wound in the collective psyche of the West that remains unhealed: the experience in Europe and America of the Inquisition...

O Retiro de Páscoa na Montanha Encantada disponibiliza conhecimentos e sabedoria prática. Uma oportunidade rara de aprender com um autêntico Mestre Indiano.

A tônica de suas oficinas de Naad Yoga prima pela sintonia energética da voz em relação aos vários modos melódicos da Música Indiana – Ragas. Ao longo das sessões, é trabalhado um estado meditativo e relaxante que permite aos participantes assimilar complexas combinações de swaras (notas musicais) e shrutis (micro-tons); bem como Mantras (fórmulas sonoras) dentro desse mesmo contexto.
Em conjunto à prática de Naad Yoga, ensinamentos filosóficos também serão transmitidos ao longo do retiro.

TÓPICOS ABORDADOS

-Karma e Destino
-Yoga de Patanjali
-Tantra e Vedanta
-Espiritualidade aplicada a Neurociências
-Lidando com as Emoções
Tanto as oficinas quanto os concertos serão abertos a todos, não requerendo qualquer treinamento ou conhecimento próprio dentro das disciplinas de Yoga e Música, ao mesmo tempo em que elas podem servir de significante abertura para os seguidores de ambas as vias.
As atividades ministradas por Sri Hanuman serão traduzidas e assistidas pelo seu discípulo Gopala, que estuda sob sua orientação há 20 anos.
