Amṛtāveśya
The Nectar of Joy
The program will be online/on demand and in person in the SF Bay Area (at the Gyuto Center in the Richmond Hills).
Enroll NowA Weekend Retreat with Swami Khecaranatha.
In our July retreat we explored nondual, Divine Love. This October, we will discover the source of our being: The ānanda (joy/nectar) of that Love.
Consciousness is replete in itself — brimming with rapture, spilling out Joy from within Its inherently-creative state. Divine Consciousness doesn’t merely do so passively but has the innate ability to reflect back on Itself, to know Itself. This is the source of that infinite delight, of ānanda.
As Consciousness basks in Its own radiance, bliss in turn is the source of creative activity and expression. Within a state of Unity, Consciousness (Śiva) is constantly filling Itself with a multiplicity of content and taking genuine delight in Its own endless productions. When Śiva’s limitless awareness expands out across Itself, the universe comes into existence and we, as waves of divine imagination, experience ourselves as individual entities moving through a world that Śiva’s Will holds in place. This is the joy of being.
In this retreat, Nathaji will explore what the experience of that supreme state would be in your life. . . and the sādhana required of each of us to make that a living reality.
