Holi Sadhana Shivir
26th February – 2nd March 2025
Prepare for a transformative experience at the JKYog Holi Bhakti Yog Sadhana Shivir from 26th February to 2nd March 2025 at the beautiful JKYog Bhakti Ashram, Banara, Odisha. Step into the season of colours as this sacred retreat immerses you in Radha Krishna bhakti and timeless spiritual wisdom. It’s a chance to come together as a community, participating in joyous festivities, kirtans, and shared moments of devotion, strengthening your connection with the divine.
Beginning on Maha Shivratri with a special midnight Rudra Abhishek, the highlight of the shivir is Swami Mukundananda’s enlightening lectures on Isho Upanishad, guiding you towards inner fulfillment, spiritual clarity, and a life rooted in devotion. Each session inspires, uplifts, and connects you with eternal truths.
Holi celebrates Radha Krishna’s playful pastimes in Braj, spreading the blissful hues of divine love and bhakti. It also reminds devotees that Bhagwan is omnipresent—just as Narasimh Bhagwan appeared from the pillar to protect Prahlad when Hiranyakashipu challenged Him, proving His divine presence everywhere.
