Only Love: The Guru-Disciple Relationship
With Naren K. Schreiner and Lopamudra Bose
March 5 - 8, 2026
Deepen your devotion. Be immersed in Master’s love.
Paramahansa Yogananda said, “When I am gone, only love can take my place. Be so drunk with love for God that you know nothing else but love, and give that love to all.”
During this retreat we will celebrate the mahasamadhi commemorations of both Paramahansa Yogananda (March 7) and Swami Sri Yukteswar (March 9). It is an important time of devotion and blessing for disciples and Kriyabans. There is no limit to the devotion felt by the disciple and the grace given by God through the true guru.
Join us in fellowship as we come together in meditation, devotional chanting and ceremony, and immersion in the living presence and teachings of these great Gurus.
