[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Vedanta Retreat at Vedapuri, Theni

[Jaishankar Narayanan]

Namaste,

This is decided by the Ashram. In a previous retreat at Rishikesh we asked
the participants to donate ₹600 per day to the Ashram towards food and
accommodation. My Guru never asked for or even suggested any donation
whenever he conducted vedanta retreats. We would like to do the same but
since we are doing these in other Ashrams we follow their rules.

with love and prayers,
Jaishankar
