Vrads Sande Retreat Centre - Programme
".... There will be no daily meditation and things like that, since this is essentially for you to retreat into yourself—introspect, brood over your condition, as Babuji Maharaj has advised—do some writing if you wish, and go back into life spiritually fresh, mentally refreshed, and fit in body and mind."
- Revered Chariji, Malampuzha, 3 March 2008
