FIVE ELEMENTS RETREAT WITH SWAMI PARANTHAPA

“bhūmir-āpo’nalo vāyuḥ khaṁ mano buddhir-eva ca | ahaṅkāra itīyaṁ me bhinnā prakṛtir-aṣṭadhā || 4 ||

Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect and the ego; make up the eight parts of My material nature.” Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 7 Verse 4

This retreat will focus on the “Five Elements” as taught by Paramahamsa Vishwananda, offering a comprehensive exploration of each of the five elements: air, fire, earth, water and ether and more through a variety of engaging activities.

Each day, we will venture into the beautiful nature of Naivasha (and beyond!) to connect with one of the elements. At each location, the knowledge of that natural element will assist you in truly engaging with the profound understanding of material and spiritual reality. Key locations within the wild Kenyan environment have been meticulously selected to enhance our experience of the elements and practices, aiding us in reconnecting and delving within.

The purpose of each exercise is to activate and balance the elements within ourselves, enabling us to uncover our full potential as human beings.

In ancient Vedic philosophy matter is considered part of God’s energy, known as prakriti. Prakriti is divided into eight forms. This is what Lord Krishna explained to Arjuna 5000 years ago in the Bhagavad Gita. Just one material energy extends itself into meridians, shapes, forms, names, and entities from this world and universe.

When there is an imbalance within our body in any of these elements, one doesn’t reach their full potential as a human being. Most illnesses arise from such imbalances. When these elements are in harmony and balance, it leads to abundance, beauty, grace, and wellbeing for oneself and others.
