Speakers:
Join us for a special webinar featuring Sri Sree Aswath and Dr. Kanniks Kannikeswaran, who will introduce their upcoming parallel experiential retreats: Experiencing Śiva and Experiencing Ragas. Set against the serene backdrop of the Hindu University of America’s Pine Lake Retreat in Orlando, these retreats will take place during the auspicious arrival of Vasanta Rtu, the Vedic spring season—a time of renewal, blossoming, and joyous beginnings.
In this webinar, you will gain insights into how these retreats intertwine to create a unique and transformative experience. Sri Sree Aswath will share details about the Experiencing Śiva retreat, which will include Gaṇapati Pūjā, Pañcāṅga-śravaṇa (listening to the Hindu almanac), Rudrābhiṣeka, Homa, and Vedic chants, all designed to immerse participants in the divine presence of Śiva. Meanwhile, Dr. Kanniks Kannikeswaran will introduce the Experiencing Ragas retreat, which explores India’s rich rāga-based musical heritage through classical music, vibrant celebrations of Holi, and an attunement to the harmonies of sound and spirit. Together, these retreats offer a rare confluence of spiritual and artistic traditions, set against the awakening of nature.
This webinar will also provide an opportunity to ask questions and learn how these retreats intersect to create a holistic experience. Whether you are drawn to the profound spiritual practices of Śiva or the melodic depths of Indian classical music, this session will inspire you to embrace the renewal of spring and the Hindu New Year (Ugādi) in a truly meaningful way. Don’t miss this chance to explore how these retreats can enrich your understanding of India’s timeless traditions.
