PURPOSE AND SERVICE
A 10-Day Spiritual Retreat in Sacred South India
1st to 10th December 2026
A soul-awakening journey of ceremony, healing, and spiritual guidance in the presence of a living Avatar.
Why Join Our Retreat?
This intimate small-group retreat offers a rare opportunity to receive channelled messages and personal guidance to help you align with your soul purpose and how you want to be of service to heal and change the world.
Each day combines deep spiritual practice designed to support you and bring clarity, personal healing, sacred ceremonies, and time for rest and reflection to integrate the high vibrational energies.
You’ll enjoy daily free time for meeting new people, relaxation, nourishing meals, temple walks, meditation, and quiet meditation. The retreat program usually runs for about two hours each day, leaving space to attend local events, be of service in the temple charities, integrate and simply be.
A powerful highlight is attending Amma’s daily puja (an abhishekam ceremony), where you will watch the devotional ceremony and at the end, receive Teertham, highly charged blessed water that releases old or stuck energy and brings healing and bliss. This sacred ritual is not to be missed.

Green Sakthi (tree planting) program.
This retreat is a rare opportunity to uncover your soul gifts, master your energy, and heal —leaving you renewed, inspired, and supported with practical tools and guidance for your ongoing journey.
Sripuram Golden Temple
Sri Narayani Peedam — home to the Sripuram Golden Temple — is a sacred temple complex built using ancient Vedic principles of sacred geometry. It holds powerful cosmic energy that supports deep healing, spiritual evolution, and connection to the soul.
The silent Meditation Hall
A recent addition to the sacred complex is a silent Meditation Hall powered by a Yoga Mani (sacred energised pearl of mercury ) connected to a crystal Sri Chakra. Sitting in the Meditation Hall for one hour each day brings you a strong Divine and Soul connection and changes your consciousness.
