Life With The Divine
Life with the Divine: Panchabootha Mantra Sadhana Empowerment Retreat
March 1 - March 12, 2025
Join Beloved Sri Sakthi AMMA Narayani for this 12-day in-person Life with the Divine: Panchabootha Mantra Sadhana Empowerment Retreat.
Through Beloved AMMA's grace, we will receive Deeksha (empowerment initiation) into a daily spiritual practice to take home and undergo a Panchaboohta (five elements) Mantra Deeksha during the retreat to purify and balance the chakras (energy centers).
Devotees will have the profound opportunity to be initiated into these practices empowered by Beloved AMMA. Enjoy the devotional practices of yoga, pranayama, chanting and meditation for a ‘Life with the Divine’.
The retreat is open to all existing devotees and those who are new to meeting Beloved Sri Sakthi AMMA and wish to strengthen their connection to the Divine within.
DEEKSHA & PANCHABOOTHA MANTRA ENERGY BALANCING IMMERSION
Receive initiation into daily Spiritual Practice and Panchabootha Deeksha
AMMA’s intention for this retreat is to provide an opportunity for devotees to deepen their connection with the Divine through receiving spiritual practices empowered by AMMA and through their immersion in the retreat environment.
Participants will receive training in a daily yoga, pranayama, mantra, and meditation routine, as well as an immersion into a Panchabootha (five elements) Mantra, to purify and balance their energy body, as a foundation for higher consciousness.
The Panchaboothas (5 elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether/Space) are found in the universe and also within. The Panchabootha Deeksha Mantra combines Siva Panchakshra ('Nama Sivaya') with the beejaksharas (seed syllables), resonating with the five elements, as found within the chakras. Powerfully joining the microcosmic elements with the macrocosmic energy of the same, this mantra strengthens our Divine connection, clears energy blockages, and balances the chakras.
Retreat participants will receive Deeksha (empowerment initiation) from Beloved AMMA into these practices. The daily sadhana practice will be taught and established in the retreat environment, empowered by Beloved AMMA, and continued after the retreat as an ongoing sadhana (committed spiritual practice). Undertaking the Panchabootha Mantra Deeksha during the retreat will strengthen the Divine connection and balance the entire chakra system, enabling devotees to receive more blessings from their ongoing practices.
Deeksha means initiation or ignition. It means receiving a spark from the ‘great power.’ The soul of the Master acts as the spark which ignites the flame for the soul of the devotee.
Receiving Deeksha from a Master is already a profound blessing. However, receiving deeksha directly from the Divine is a priceless grace.
Following the Deeksha (empowerment initiation), the devotees are required to maintain a 50-minute daily practice and be blessed to have received a complete chakra cleansing and balancing to support their ongoing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual empowerment for a ‘Life with the Divine.’

Ladies' Holiday: Special Notes for Women
Amma provided advice during the retreat for the ladies' monthly period (ladies' holiday). It is a time of "detoxification happening monthly in women’s bodies” and when the pranas of the body are not conducive to intense spiritual energy. Going to temples and holy places is not permitted. The body is also very sensitive, so it is best to rest during this time.
Day 1-4 of menstruation: You can attend the Sadhana Practice and some service projects, but you cannot attend the temple complex or practice puja.
***Please keep these requirements in mind when you book for the retreat.***
Initial payment and registration are required before February 15th, 2025, to secure your place in this retreat.
