The poet, Rabindranath Tagore wrote, “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy”. The theme for this year’s spring retreat is “Service” – inner and outer service, service with ideation, service as part of our spiritual path, service as the path to happiness. There will be Dharma Shastras (spiritual talks) and classes about service and discussions exploring who needs our service and what kind of service we can offer. This retreat is aimed at those, who have been initiated into the Ananda Marga meditation practice.
