Sadhana Course 2020

The Sadhana Retreat is an annual comprehensive seven-day residential course at Sandipani Vidyaniketan which aims to educate, engage and empower students around the various areas of Sanatan Dharma, Shrimad Bhagavatam and Hinduism. Through the combination of traditional living, intertwined with ancient and modern teaching techniques, attendees will experience the synthesis of balancing spiritual and contemporary life.

Inspired by Pujya Bhaishri Rameshbhai Oza, the retreat is developed for individuals who would like to learn about the foundations of Hinduism with like-minded people in a fun, friendly and spiritual environment. This fantastic opportunity brings together seekers from all over the world with the common goal of learning under the guidance of one of India’s great Vedic institutions.

The Sadhana Retreat was first carried out in July 2018 with 15 attendees of various ages from Africa, UK and India and proved to be a great success of Pujya Bhaishri’s vision to continue to keep live the Vedic education and Sanatan Dharma all over the world.
