All “Listen to the Song of Silence” retreat guests are invited to follow the daily Ashram schedule to deepen and regulate their personal practice. According to Swami Veda, there is no point to philosophy without practice. It is only through “regularity, frequency, length, depth, and surrender “ in one’s practice that life’s purpose, self-realization, is obtained.
