Negative thoughts and emotions like anger, jealousy, hatred, anxiety, gloom and others, impede our happiness and create tension and disharmony within our lives. Virtues such as cheerfulness, kindness, love, contentment, gratitude and others allow us to live up to our own standards and to enjoy harmony and progress within our life.
In this weekend retreat we will learn the art of cultivating virtues and removing vices, as taught by Swami Sivananda. A saint of pure heart and an accomplished Yogi, Swami Sivananda graciously teaches the method and knowledge of this important practice.
“Fortify your heart with virtues! Grow daily and evolve quickly!”
Swami Sivananda
