Over three mentally rewiring pravachans, Pujya Gurudevshri expounded that among all the means of liberation, Satsang of an Enlightened Master is the foremost and the most powerful.

He elaborated on the three fundamental flaws that prevent one from fully benefitting from the Enlightened Master’s association.

The group participated in several holistic activities that took them deeper for nourishing all aspects of their beings. These included meditation, pranayam and cardio workouts.
