Priya Bhagavadbandhus !

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha
Mangalasasanams of HH Sri Swamiji

The spiritual retreat organised by JET USA INC. in Lake 
Geneva, has been a grand success and more than 80 families were 
blessed in the week long Spiritual Camp by HH Sri Sri Sri Tridandi 
Chinna Srimannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamiji. It was organised from 
6th July to 12th July. 

The day used to begin at 4.30 AM with Yoga, Pranayama, 
Surya Namaskaras and then meditation, Prathasmaraniyam etc., graced 
by HH Sri Swamiji. 
Then after Se:va:ka:lam and Thi:rtthago:shtti, Bhagavad 
Prasadam was served and then first session was conducted. During the 
first session, Ma:ndu:kyo:panishad was graced by HH Sri Swamiji with 
wonderful projector presentations to make the concepts clear and 
attractive. Then Introduction to Vedic Literature was discussed. In 
the afternoons, Learning Bhajans in the style of Classical Music, 
learn how to chant Manthras and then Gi:tha:rttha Sangraham of 
Yamunacharya graced by HH Sri Swamiji. 

In the evening Sri Vishnusahasrana:ma Stho:thram chanting 
was conducted and after a:ra:dhana, interactive session on the 
lessons and also on the general topics was conducted. The day ended 
by 10.00 pm for all the camp participants.

Every one enjoyed the camp to quench the thirst of 
spiritual knowledge and got enlightened with the greatness of our 
Vedic Tradition that led the world in the path of glory towards the 
ultimate goal. 

One and all wished to have the camp for more number of 
days and also every one expressed to have such camps very 
frequently !! It was a great dream one can ever think of that came 
true... felt every one. For the first time ever in the history such 
a camp has been organised in which families came and participated in 
a spiritual retreat. Aged devotees (above 80's) those who couldn't 
understand English also enjoyed the subject through the enchanting 
voice and impeccable expression of HH Sri Swamiji, throughout the 
classes and what can we say about those who really could understand 
little or more English !! HH Strived through out the day conducting 
all the classes to make participants feel elated and rejuvenated 
every minute. To be in HH Sri Swamiji's presence itself is a 
blessing and that too in the class.... OH.. inexpressible... There 
are no words to express that feeling of elevated spirits. One should 
really enjoy !!

A number of wonderful discussions on the Realities of this 
Nature, Soul, God, their relationships, their nature, creation, 
authenticity of various scriptures, Various practices, festivals 
etc., went on aggressively which were perfectly answered by HH Sri 
Swamiji quoting real time examples to the depth of the understanding 
of the human mind.

Every one was amazed to know about our culture our Vedic 
tradition, Srivaishnava tradition, that Bhagavad Ramanuja brought 
into light, to bring the whole of the living beings under the 
umberella of one family "vasudhaiva kutumbakam".

There was a sort of wonderful understanding and 
satisfaction observed in all the members who attended the camp. 
Everyone listened to HH Sri Swamiji, who conducted class like 
Hrushi:ke:sa, where every one was caught spell bound for hours 
together sitting in their places forgetting themselves lending their 
minds and hearts to HH Sri Swamiji, enjoying the nectarian voice, 
filled with devotion and Love, revealing the greatness of the Lord 
and His various attributes and Li:la:s. 

Every one was of the opinion that they have learnt great 
lessons that transformed their thoughts and purified them with the 
Divinity poured down by our Acharya HH Sri Swamiji. This is only a 
beginning said HH Sri Swamiji. They felt that they might have missed 
a lot.. if they haven't attended this camp and it is a liftime memory 
that elevated their spirits to the heights of Pure Divinity. 

The camp was organised in a beautiful natural serene 
atmosphere. Some classes were conducted in the open place and many 
were conducted in the class room like environment. As the whether 
was cool and occasionally rainy it has been a fantastic experience to 
be in Divine atmosphere under the Spiritual umberella of HH Sri 
Swamiji. 

May many such camps be conducted and every individual be a 
part of it to finally enjoy the purpose of this birth, under the 
Divine guidance of our Acharya HH Sri Sri Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji.

Jai Srimannarayana !
