Chaturmas Anushthana

2 months duration

Since ancient times sannyasins and sadhus have recognized Chaturmas as a period to cease all travel and stay in one place. During the rainy season, they dedicated themselves to sadhana and anushthana. Darshan and satsang were given to distribute the fruits of their attainments to the wider community.

Sri Swami Satyananda revived this ancient tradition during his parivrajaka years from 1956 to 1963, when he returned to Munger every year to perform Shravan sadhana and anushthana on the banks of Mother Ganga.

Inspired by his example, Sannyasa Peeth conducts Chaturmas Anushthana each year, in the grounds graced by Sri Swami Satyananda’s Chaturmas sadhana.

This is a special opportunity to immerse oneself in spiritual sadhana and sanskriti, to connect with the spiritual heritage of India, the land of light. The rainy season is a time to turn within, connect with the element of sattwa, and renew one’s faith, so that one can continue to realize the timeless spiritual teachings in one’s daily life.

The program will consist of:

  • Yoga class
  • Ramacharitamanas chanting
  • Mantra sadhana and havan
  • Satsang

Various katha programs and cultural performances will also be conducted during this special event. Spiritual aspirants are welcome to participate for whatever duration that is convenient, from 1 week to 1 month or the whole duration of this Chaturmas Anushthana.
