Learn MoreAn Invitation
Ramakrishna is one of a small handful of teachers trained directly by Swami in the abishek, the fire puja, and the shakti processes as they are meant to be lived. To sit in these days with him is to receive these practices the way they were given to him.
Six days are shaped to build on each other. Each practice prepares the field for the next, so that by the time we arrive at the full moon together, the room is already alive. We come to it prepared, and we come to it together.
What Awaits
Fire
Learn to generate and transmit energy through sacred ritual. Daily Baba Abishek builds toward the Maha Abishek and Fire Puja on Guru Purnima night.
Water
Special water processes that purify, open the energetic channels, and prepare the vessel to receive and hold higher states.
Healing
Deep teachings in Sai Shakti Healing techniques with structured time to practice on one another, learning through direct experience.
Transmission
Ramakrishna will offer shaktipat, special initiations, and one-on-one consultations. Direct transmission, person to person.
Dawn
Sunrise meditation, daily yoga with Bhramari, and morning abishek, anchoring each day in devotion before the mind gets busy.
Sangha
Evening satsang, bhajans, and the deep bonds formed when sincere students step out of the world together. These relationships carry the journey forward.

A Note on Texas in July
If you're camping or in a bell tent: daytime highs can reach the 100s, with nighttime lows in the 70s. Pack accordingly. The land has shade, water, and the AC cabin to retreat to during the hottest hours.
