I am very happy to announce that Swami Purnananda, Spiritual Head of the Vedanta Society in Dublin, Ireland and friend and colleague of Swami Veetamohananda, is coming to visit us at Landermere and lead a retreat on May 6th/7th/8th 2022 PLEASE PUT THESE DATES IN YOUR DIARY!
As ever there will be no charge for this retreat, it will be open to anyone interested whatever religion or practice they follow.
I understand that many of us have not had the opportunity to learn of, or meet with this Swami so I am enclosing a short biography, the link to a lovely encounter he had with a robin recently while out walking in Ireland, and a link to his podcast on a clear and simple approach to understanding Vedanta.
