Love
Those who desire to transcend all
limitations and bondages
(of birth, death,
rebirth,
of
all the pairs of opposites)
must accept supreme
love
as the highest goal.
The Bhakti
Sutras of Narada
12th Century
You can do japa, practice austerities,
meditation and yoga,
perform rituals as
prescribed in the scriptures,
make right efforts
of
every kind, make wonderful speeches -
without
love
all this is nothing.
Nothing in the world is
higher than Love.
Love is the wealth of the heart.
Love
turns
an
enemy into a friend.
Love frees a serpent of its
poison.
Love conquers the supreme Lord.
Muktananda, Love is the projection of the
Self.
Love is the inner, the universal, the
cosmic
Self.
Love is realization.
Without love all
sadhanas
are
just hard labor.
Swami
Muktananda
Mukteshwari I

sacred and ancient Kundalini empowerment. In
this retreat we will also explore the mysteries of Kali
and the wisdom She imparts for living in this
age, Kali Yuga.This is the last time it will be offered
until the fall
of 2007. This retreat was specially created to
invoke the sublime power
Kundalini and to open the portals to the sacred
knowledge of our true nature at the heart of our
being. The retreat gives you the opportunity to
remain immersed in this sacred space of awakening
so you can explore and discover for yourself what
lies within. For thousands of years the yogic
sages have written about the great serpent power
Kundalini as
the key to the treasury of unbounded Love and
wisdom within us. By the
grace of Kundalini you access the depth of
meditation that allows
you to directly experience the Source.

take you to sharings from others who have taken this
life-transforming retreat, some of whom have taken
it repeatedly, as it continues to support and deepen
the grace-filled process of Kundalini unfolding in their
lives.

necessary for courses and
retreats.
