Ashram is the general term for a study centre, retreat house or monastic community in Hinduism, the millennia-old religious tradition of India. Ashrams of various kinds are now found throughout the world and are popular venues for spiritual retreats, workshops and classes. LIGHTING THE LAMP OF WISDOM takes you into a typical week of retreat inside an ashram to demystify the ashram experience and show you what to expect from your own visit. You will experience all the elements of a typical day and week, including: - The colourful puja, or worship services - Meditation practices and yoga classes - Classes on Hindu scriptures - Chanting and music - Satang: an informal talk with the ashram's guru - Work practice..and much more. You'll also meet some of the people who visit ashrams to hear their reasons for going, as well as the spiritual benefits they derive from the experience.
