Sadhana

Program

Sadhana means spiritual effort. Sometimes we say

meditation but it is not only meditation. Part of
sadhana is also service. Both are meant to lead towards
the spiritual goal. As long as the mind is engrossed with
material pursuit or survival necessities it cant do
sadhana. And to bring the mind to bend towards the
spiritual endeavor is an effort that sometimes is
difficult in the normal family or work environment.

The Program is designed in order to create a

collective flow among all the participants.
There are intellectually stimulating classes,
collective and individual meditations, sessions of
universal mantra singing, cultural evenings and
time for enjoying the environment in Ananda
Kanan.
We will spend 6 days together which will help the
natural socialization and pleasurable atmosphere
of inclusion and allround care.
We will prepare and eat together delicious vegetarian meals which will complete and balance the
nurturing of the soul.
Ananda Marga Conference is a multi-cultural
spiritual event where from children to elderly
people everybody has a space for happiness and
joy.

This is the reason why from time to time we wish to

come together in a sanctified place where we can help
each other to move on the path of bliss. Ananda Kanan
is such a place in the heart of those who love spirituality. Ananda Kanan is also a beautiful place kept with
love and care by the hands of those who work for its
growth and maintenance. We all come as guests fulfilling the desire to be nurtured in Ananda Kanan in all the
possible planes, from the spiritual to the mundane.
This miracle happens every year at the Summer Conference of Ananda Marga at Ananda Kanan. Every
year in a different way the desire of the devotees is
fulfilled in a blissful way. There is always some special
grace waiting for those who struggle for attending this
event. All apparent obstacles ultimately vanish as soon
as we touch the soil of the Master Unit. So, please
come, come to Ananda Kanan, the Garden of Bliss.
Come once again or for the first time. You will be
coming again and again
