Hello, my loves, joys!
We all carry the call to discover who we are beyond what we believe ourselves to be. It is this call that leads us to India, where knowledge transforms into experience.
In 2027, during my season in India, we will experience three moments: a small-group immersion, with studies and pilgrimages to the sacred places of Rishikesh; the satsang season; and a Level 2 Silent Retreat.
We will be at Dhyan Mandir Ashram, located between Rishikesh and Haridwar, during the Ardh Kumbh Mela, one of the largest spiritual pilgrimages in the world. It will be a rare opportunity to dive into a powerful field of devotion, purification, and awakening.
During this time at the ashram, you'll also have the opportunity to go deeper into Karma Yoga, the path of service as a spiritual practice. We'll have different opportunities for seva, selfless service, as part of the very experience of being at the ashram.
By offering our time, our presence, and our gifts and talents for the benefit of the whole, we can observe ourselves in action, recognize patterns, and transform the way we relate to work, to others, and to life.
I will be waiting for you.
Namaste,
Prem Baba

A retreat and pilgrimage toward the knowledge of the Supreme Truth
Sri Prem Baba
Over ten days, Sri Prem Baba will lead a journey of spiritual inquiry at Dhyan Mandir Ashram. Inspired by the Vedanta tradition, this immersion is an invitation to study the higher spiritual knowledge — the knowledge that points to the essential nature of the Self and to the Truth revealed by the great masters.
Throughout these days, participants will immerse in satsangs, moments of silence, contemplative practices, prayers, and pilgrimages to sacred places in the Rishikesh region, creating an environment where the teaching stops being a concept and becomes a living experience.
Beyond the fundamental principles of Vedanta, the immersion brings a deepening into the Sankalpa of Sachcha Baba, allowing us to comprehend more clearly the spiritual vision that sustains this path and how it applies in practical life.
This is not the satsang season. It is a more intimate and organic experience, in a closed group, with a program that unfolds according to Sri Prem Baba’s perception of the group’s needs, alternating between teaching, contemplation, dialogue, and pilgrimage at a pace that favors assimilation and inner transformation.
The journey closes with the celebration of Vasant Panchami, one of the most significant festivals in the Vedic tradition, dedicated to Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, art, and music. A symbolic closing to a pilgrimage dedicated to the awakening of true wisdom.

The satsang season is the heart of our stay in India.
Sri Prem Baba
Every day, the ashram becomes a living field of prayer, study, and deep listening, sustained by the presence of Sri Prem Baba and the force of the place. It is a time to replenish yourself with light and direction for the journey, in the company of other seekers.
Unlike the immersion, this is a more open and flexible format: you can follow the entire season or just one part, adjusting your participation to what fits your life.
This year, the season takes place at a particular moment in the Vedic calendar: the Haridwar region will be under the energy of the Ardh Kumbh Mela 2027, a great spiritual festival. We will be immersed in these emanations, and the schedule of any outings will be built over the course of the period, according to the conditions of the moment.

External silence opens the way to internal silence, and it is in this space of stillness that Consciousness awakens.
Sri Prem Baba
The Level 2 Silent Retreat is one of the most profound experiences of the season in India. Created for those who already know the practice of silence and feel the call to go further, it offers a protected field to step away from external stimuli and turn attention toward what is happening within.
Under Sri Prem Baba’s guidance, silence becomes a living school of Yoga. By withdrawing energy from distractions and learning to observe thoughts, emotions, and sensations without confusing yourself with them, you deepen your concentration, meditation, and presence, opening space for more clarity and inner freedom.
After ten days of seclusion, the return to interacting with one another will be marked by the Holika bonfire and the celebration of Holi. A symbolic passage from silence to color, from introspection to joy, to integrate the experience and return to life with a more open heart and a new quality of presence.
Check in: Mar 10ᵗʰ, Wed, 2 PM
Check out: Mar 23ʳᵈ, Tue, 2 PM
Please note the departure date: check-out is on March 23ʳᵈ. We recommend that you not schedule travel for the 21ˢᵗ and 22ⁿᵈ, as this is a festive time in India — traffic can be difficult and you may miss your flight.
Practitioners with previous experience of silence. This is not a retreat for beginners.
By registering, you agree not to use your phone or computer, or to access the internet, from March 12th to 21st. Before the silence begins, you can leave your phone with the team for safekeeping, and they will return it at the end of the retreat.
Using these devices compromises the field of silence and interferes with the other participants’ experience. If this rule is broken, the team reserves the right to ask the participant to leave the retreat.
(For parents of young children, there will be a phone point at the reception, with set hours and support from the seva team.)
Mandatory accommodation at the ashram
Participating while staying elsewhere is not permitted.
No work
This is not a period for remote work. Working during the retreat interferes with the field of silence — yours and everyone’s.
If these conditions don’t fit your current moment, there are other ways to enter this season. The February immersion and the satsang season offer profound experiences with Sri Prem Baba, and they don’t have these requirements.

Chaitra Navaratri is a sacred period in the Vedic calendar dedicated to the Divine Mother — a time of prayer, purification, and devotion.
During these days, Sri Prem Baba will be devoted to the Vedic ceremonies performed daily by the brahmins. Participants will be able to follow the pujas, practice japa and meditation, and dive into the field of prayer sustained at the ashram.
This is not a program of satsangs or teachings. It is a simple and essentially devotional experience, meant for those who wish to experience a period of seclusion, prayer, and connection with the Vedic tradition.
Check in: April 7ᵗʰ, Wed, 4 PM
Check out: April 15ᵗʰ, Thu, 2 PM
For seekers who feel an affinity with Bhakti Yoga, the Vedic ceremonies, the practice of japa, and meditation. You need to be willing to remain at a quieter, more contemplative pace, taking part in the field of prayer throughout these days.
The experience follows the simple routine of an Indian ashram, including traditional food. During this period, there will be no satsangs with Sri Prem Baba. If you’re interested in taking part, please contact our support team.
The satsang season will be transmitted live online through Sri Prem Baba Academy.
A contemporary spiritual school offering a path of self-knowledge, purpose, and self-realization.
It is the space where Sri Prem Baba shares his methodology of psycho-spiritual study, bringing together the wisdom of ancient traditions with psychology and the challenges of today’s world. The Academy’s mission is to help seekers awaken the Inner Master, learning to listen to intuition and follow the voice of the heart, rather than getting lost in the noise of external pressures.
Sri Prem Baba
India Season 2027 is open to all seekers, whether or not they are students of Sri Prem Baba, who wish to delve deeper into self-knowledge by sharing their experiences and what they’ve learned within a community of seekers (sangha), while experiencing moments of devotional expression and Vedic rituals. Level 2 Silent Retreat is recommended for people who have previously experienced a silent retreat and are willing to spend ten days in silence and without cellphone communication.
In addition to the package information available here on the website, you should not book a flight to arrive or depart on the following dates:
February 6ᵗʰ: main bathing day
February 11ᵗʰ: important bathing day
February 20ᵗʰ: important bathing day
March 6ᵗʰ: Mahashivratri
March 8ᵗʰ: important bathing day
March 22ⁿᵈ: Holi
April 7ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ and 20ᵗʰ: important bathing days
It is virtually impossible to travel around and find local transportation on these dates.
Please also remember that it is not possible to arrive for check-in at Dhyan Mandir Ashram before 8:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m.
Children cannot participate in the Silent Retreat, as the retreat requires a continuous field of silence. We understand that children need to express themselves freely, and imposing this type of restriction would not be appropriate for them.
During the Satsang Season, children are welcome, provided they are always accompanied by a responsible adult. The other programs of the season — Beyond Illusion Immersion and Chaitra Navaratri — are not structured to accommodate children.
Please also note that we will not be able to accommodate special dietary requests for children.
