Canada Retreat and New People Retreat, August 2025


Two inspiring programs were organized in Canada in August 2025, strengthening spiritual life and community bonds. From August 1–3, the Canada Summer Retreat was held at Camp SAJO near Ananda Kanak Master Unit. This joyful spiritual family gathering included twenty-two participants. Ac. Iishvarakṛṣṇánanda Avt., Ac. Parinirvánánanda Avt., and Ac. Dayashíilananda Avt. gave seminar classes on “The Three Causes of Sins,” “The Human Body is a Biological Machine,” and “Prána Dharma.” Avtk. Ánanda Sutiirthá Ác. skillfully coordinated the kitchen and initiated two new sisters. The attendees left inspired and expressed eagerness to support pracár activities in the future.
Later in the month, August 22–24, 2025, a New Margii Retreat at Ananda Kanak MU welcomed fresh seekers into the Ananda Marga family. All participants had initiation at the retreat or before, and quickly immersed themselves in sádhaná, kiirtana, and spiritual discussions. Classes, collective meals, and time in nature helped create a strong sense of belonging. The new Margiis left inspired, committed, and ready to contribute to the growth of Ananda Marga Canada.
