20 - 27 MARCH 2020
JABALPUR
WITH SWAMI SHRILA PREM PARAS
Welcome all loved ones!
The place where a Master has become enlightened has a very special Aura. In that place it can spontaneously happen to a seeker that his heart opens, that he feels lightness and serenity.
On march 21 1953 the beloved Master Osho became enlightened under a bodhi tree in Jabalpur, India.
Not only Osho but many more saints have meditated in Jabalpur where the holy river Narmada flows. Meher Baba, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Guru Nanak, Kabir, Gouraknath Baba ..
What is this energy field of Jabalpur like? If so many enlightened beings have meditated there;
can it trigger our consciousness to rise..?
Hariprasad Chaurasia live in concert + OSHO meditations
+ moonlight boating + International teachers
+ sound therapy + body work + Chanting + Movie screening
talks with Osho's first & oldest Sannyasins + live concerts with legendary artists + transport within India, accommodation & food included!
Hariprasad Chaurasia
A meditative live concert
"The flute is the symbol of spiritual call, the call
of the divine"
​
​
He is a very popular and eminent artiste par excellence who is known for his outstanding contribution in popularizing Indian Classical Music all over the world.
​
The name speaks for itself. He is an exceptional musician of our time and it is a great privilege to experience this living legend live in a meditative concert.
"You ask me: What happened when you became enlightened?
I laughed, a real uproarious laugh.."
Osho
"When the dancer disappears and only the dance remains, it is meditation. If the dancer is there then it is only dance, not meditation. When the singer disappears and only the song remains, it is meditation. When the musician is not found and only music remains, then it is meditation.
​
In fact, the greatest music in the world is nothing but an echo of the inner music.
To the ordinary musician the sound is important. To the master musician the silence is important: he uses sound only to create silence. He raises sound to a high pitch and then drops it so suddenly that you fall into a deep silence. In the East the classical music is absolutely devoted to meditation. It has not forgotten its origin. But the origin must have been thousands of years back. There is no written record about it, so whatever I am saying is according to my inner experience. I have felt it, that I use language also in the same way... words to create moments of wordlessness."
OSHO
Holy river mother Narmada
​
We will meditate, chant and practice at the banks of the holy river. Daily thousands of pilgrims come to seek her blessings. Since many centuries saints like Osho, Meher Baba, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Guru nanak, Kabir, and Gouraknath Baba seek to meditate at her banks. What is it in mother Narmada's aura field that triggers a quantum leap in our spiritual growth?
Let's experience it in this Retreat!
​
​
About 60 % of the human body is water
​
the heart and brain are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water.
"If we balance the element water in our body our life is blissful."
​
Swami Shrila Prem Paras
+ A visit at the university where OSHO taught
"When I became a teacher in the university, the first thing I did—because as I entered the class I saw the girls sitting in this corner, four, five rows just empty in front of me, and the boys sitting in the other corner—I said, "Who am I going to teach—these tables and chairs? And what kind of nonsense is this? Who told you to sit like this? Just get mixed and be in front of me."
They hesitated. They had never heard a teacher tell them to get mixed. I said, "You get mixed immediately; otherwise I am going to report to the vice chancellor that something absolutely unnatural, unpsychological, is happening."
OSHO
How can we awaken our own energy?
God has given us only one energy. You can call it life force energy, or love energy ..
This energy is in your Root. Your mother and father have created you with their life force energy.
​
If this energy gets stuck iin the heart it creates possessiveness, if it gets stuck in the third eye, it creates ego ..
All creative people pull their energy from their Root to create beautiful music, beautiful art ..
​
If we want to reach our Crown, we have only one energy to take us there. Tell me: Can you reach to the moon with a bicycle or with a scooter? We need an immensely powerful rocket to take us there. It means we have to awaken our very own energy to travel from our root to superconsciousness.

About Swami Shrila Prem Paras
It is your birthright to know yourself. When you come closer to an awakened source your energy awakens. You can get a taste of your Soul. You can get a vision of how blissful your life could be and you can realize what your life purpose is. All problems are basically because we don't know ourselves and because we don't trust our energy. A rose is beautiful, a marigold is beautiful, a tulip is beautiful - why do we compare and make ourselves miserable?
The moment when you accept yourself you become natural and your life starts to flow in a natural, peaceful and ecstatic way. There is no wrong or right; when you live in your Soul you simply see what is for you and what doesn't suit you.
​
Somebody who knows himself is able to show others the way. This is not a question of therapies or techniques, it is a simple presence of knowing. For example: Only somebody who has been to the main train station can guide you there.
Everybody has his very own individual finger print and in the same way everybody has individual doors through which he can go inwards. In this Retreat you will experience your doors, your ways, your Soul ..
​
Swami Shrila Prem Paras and invites you on this exciting journey to yourself.
This event is brought to you by Ma Prem Rabiya from OSHO Param Meditation Switzerland.

TEN THOUSAND SHADES OF OCEAN
in the presence of the director Lakshen Sucameli
& the story writer Kamlesh Pandey
​
This documentary covers Osho’s life from his birth to his grandfather’s death; university years, his travels across India to give talks to large audiences; initiating his first orange sannyasins, the creation of his dynamic meditation, his time in Mumbai, the move to Pune in 1974 – the influx of Western seekers, the introduction of therapy as a step to meditation, the knife attack, the energy darshans, – and Osho’s sudden departure to the USA.
​
Lakshen travelled across Europe and India to interview ‘key’ personalities, asking them questions about their life with Osho.
He has made the impossible possible; to put the life of a man beyond words into pictures.

"If you want to enjoy classical Indian music you will have to learn. You cannot just go and enjoy it, it needs a certain preparation in you, it needs a certain receptivity in you. It is not vulgar. It needs a certain understanding in you... a deep understanding of sounds and silence -- because music consists of sound and silence. It is not only sound, it contains silence in it."

Legendary Artists will be announced here soon!
