On the basis of this profound statement, The Gita Life organizes spiritual retreats for Gita learners at regular intervals to give them the sublime practical experience of Krishna consciousness. We are all so much entangled in our daily lives that we don’t find time to invest on the soul. Thus we end up caring only for our body which is just like a dress and neglecting our soul which is our real self. Spiritual retreats give us a platform to withdraw ourselves from our busy lives and rejuvenate the body, mind and soul.

Spiritual retreats have been the most attended event of TGL.  People from different parts of the world come together and associate with like-minded individuals and share their learnings and realizations with each other.

Places such as Vrindavan, Jagannath Puri, Mayapur, Kurukshetra and similar spiritually potent places known as ‘Dhama’ are chosen for the retreats. ‘Dhama’ in Sanskrit refers to a place where the Supreme Lord Krishna resides.

Retreats consist of Bhagavad Gita Workshops where Gita students are trained with more practical tips by senior devotees. Interactive Q&A sessions are held along with training on principles of yoga and meditation techniques. Greeting of the Deities and Arthi, ecstatic kirtans, mantra meditation (japa) sessions, association of senior devotees, honouring prasadam with them, etc. will be a life-changing experience. Guided visits to exalted devotees’ samadhi darshan, deity darshan in various temples in the area, and parikrama of the dhama are also some of the memorable activities experienced by those who attend these retreats. Gita certificates and prizes are also awarded to our learners in these retreats.
