17. Surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape
of mountains and greenery, started this
spiritual adventure of going to the depths of
being, with the spiritual support of Baba
through Sister Moira (NC of Argentina).

22. In a simple and fun way, Sister Moira guided
the deep exploration of each spiritual
principle (gyan, yoga, good company,
vegetarian diet and purity) in each day of the
retreat.

28. For the final day a very special Raksha Bandhan
ceremony took place in which Baba gave powerful
experiences.

32. A brahmin celebration with Peruvian and Hindi
dances took place as well.

37. The next two days right after the retreat, a tour to
the Inca city of Machu Picchu was conducted, also to
the city of Cusco and other nearby archaeological
cities. During this tour, besides appreciating the
wonder of human history we served through the
vibration of Baba as well.

40. Baba and the young participants colored the
retreat’s atmosphere with their joy, art, depth, and
honest and brave heart. Each moment of the retreat
was full of the magic subtle presence of Baba and the
special energy of each one of the participants.

43. During the retreat the youth said that they had
brought with them different experiences.

44. Renzo from Perú
The most transcendental learning of this retreat was the certainty of Baba´s
accompaniment. I felt him with me, accompanying me; present in my
intellect and even at the physical level as an elevated sensation. Feeling
His presence gave me clarity and a faith I had never felt before: endless,
unconditional and transcending any paradigm I had registered. I
understood the responsibility and the honor of being an instrument of His
love.

45. Erica from Brasil
The retreat was wonderful. To share with people whose goal is self
transformation brings up encouragement, enthusiasm and power to be
put into practice. The chance to reflect, share, and receive classes on
“Keeping the Greatness of the Being” filled me up with true happiness
and led me even closer to the Supreme Soul; and with this I feel that I
make faster progress. I am already looking forward to the next retreat!!

46. Carina from Germay
This meeting –in a quiet place, with such a clean vibration and an ample view
of the whole area– helped me to re-awaken original energies which were
slightly asleep, such as enthusiasm, happiness, motivation and creativity.
I valued the group as a whole, easily overcoming language differences,
age, experiences, on the basis of deep honesty, openness and real
interest towards each other, and through a continuous introspective
regard. Each one´s majesty emerged naturally and visibly! Thanks for
these experiences.

47. Tomás from Chile
It is amazing when you find yourself surrounded with Young souls,
optimistic, eager, energetic and committed. The being infuses itself of
this too. It was there where I evidenced during those days “If am well,
those who are closet to me will be well too”. How incredible what your
mind can do when you train it in the morning, afternoon and evening.

48. Ricardo from Colombia
It was a splendid gift to be able to experiment the novelty in our relationships
with Baba: as children, students and disciples, as well as experiencing
our condition of brethren and heirs with a wonderful family in a
marvelous land.

49. Verónica from Argentina
The experience of the Youth Retreat in Cusco was wonderful. I experimented
Baba´s company even before I arrived in this city; it was all very special.
Also the company and support I received from the families of Argentina
and Peru, and then with Nicola doing service with a smile in his face at
the airport. They took care of every detail! It was very valuable days, full
of joy, happiness, cooperation, enthusiasm, freedom and inner peace. It
was a retreat full of experiences and reflections, of sharing every second
of this beautiful brahmin life and of Baba´s magic with our young Latin
American brothers.

50. Indira from Bolivia
Before arriving in the Youth Retreat my concept of family was somehow more
mundane. I had no idea that one can create such divine bonds with
wonderful souls who give you the chance to experiment a state of
magical subtleness…But, what else could I expect? I was surrounded by
angels.

51. Some notes during the retreat

53. Sister´s Moira class about Yoga
Yoga: it's like a metamorphosis. We transform
ourselves in the privacy of the yoga.
Knowledge is the raw material.
The importance of seeing and experiencing.
yoga as the love story.
I do not do yoga, I'm a yogi.
When a BK says he has no time for himself it is
because he is neglecting his hours of
sustenance from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.

55. 8 Steps for a good Yoga
1. Introversion. Disconnect from the service, the body and the
roles.
2. Choose a topic. ¿What for the meditation? Make an
interesting yoga to address the needs of the soul. Reflect
about the topic I want to experience.
3. Concentration. Feelings associated with the thought
emerge.
4. Experience. I perceive my feelings.
5. Observation. Observe the experience I'm having.
6. Surrender to the experience. Volcanic Yoga is an experience
so intense that nothing external could stop it.
7. Newness. One experience leads to new truths for the soul.
Being a good student is related to being a good yogi.
8. Register my process. Write my own process.

57. More about Yoga
Yoga is relationship. Baba wants exclusivity, make God
part of my life. Baba has a relationship with us as
possessive, wants us all to himself. How much I feel His
love for me is proportional to how much I take
Motivate yourself
Baba is the surgeon. To do surgery is needed to leave the
family, enter the operating room naked and stay very
still.
Check: What is what helps me to maintain my
relationship with Baba?
What I seek is perfection, so I look for Baba, I must be
obedient.
Know what I want from each relationship with Baba.

59. Online class with brother Ken
Have a relationship with our future.
The greatness means having a long-range vision.
I'm much more of what happens in the moment.
Being aware of the past, present and future, is because I
know my past, my present and my future.
How many hearts have I touched? Be a big donor.
I love the world of the seas, mountains, rivers.
View the size of my generosity.
Assume my responsibility.
Powerful Yoga: love for Baba. Love that melts barriers.
Dedicate ourselves to the subtle efforts, reduce uselessness.
The Power of yoga is concentrated love: Surrender and
Acceptance.
I am naked in front of Baba and he ignores all my stains.
