In this retreat, the core essence of life will be discussed with many life stories of
sages and you will try to make such life style as a habit. “Talent” means the ability
to do a work and proving it in the physical world. However, it is also defined in the
scriptures as pratyahara. It is the ability to use the special senses at a time with all
sorts of disturbances from the external world.

During the program, you will be offered few techniques of knowing the strength of
special senses. The differences in abilities will promote the further journey of
meditation. This pratyahara reduces the addiction, habits, and phobia in general
and it also improves creativity and realization as part of a transformation.

You will learn the basic rules and regulations of the yogic life in practicality in this
retreat. You will also be taught the 'Ishwara Pranidana', sacrificing every fruit of
action to God. You will wake up early morning, start the day with a chanting of
different mantras, shlokas, daily practices, and eating natural foods.

Moreover, there will be a self-assessment at the beginning and at the end of every
day in order to make you understand the status of your present life and what is
next. The realization happens with this kind of program and it is a basic routine
that is followed in gurukulam (traditional schools) to this date as a tradition.

Code of conduct (Yama)

During this program, you have to follow the code of conducts (Yama). First, you
have to be honest and have to self-assess yourself. Second, you have to be punctual
and regular to all the sessions planned in the schedule. Third, consumption of
tobacco products, alcohol, and non-vegan foods in any form are prohibited. Fourth,
you have to follow the 'Taittiriya Upanishads' for total personality because it will
help you to grow in spiritual lore.

Guidelines

In order to make the program effective, several guidelines have to be followed. In

this retreat, you have to be calm and listen to the guru all the time. This program
will fail if you are overeating, overexertion, doing excessive talk, lacking
disciplines, having promiscuous company, and unsteady. On the other hand, this
program will succeed if you have a zeal towards learning, are bold, determinate,
courageous, hungry for true knowledge, firm (belief in the words of guru), and
have a good company.

According to Patanjali Maha Muni, yama and niyamas will be the first step in yoga
life. Avoiding fire is the journey in the beginning of yoga life. Also, you have to
avoid practicing too hard. Early morning cold water bath and fasting will also help.
Making a decision after reading the scripture makes the difference of living. The
actual goal of this retreat will be completed after analyzing the drama and notes
that are made by you every day.
