Swarg Ashram, Rishikesh

26 April to 01 May, 2023

This retreat, drew inspiration from Illuminations, a book by Professor A.K. Saran, one of India’s most insightful scholars. Rooted in the belief that a fulfilling life requires us to transcend the constraints of modernity, Illuminations invites readers to explore brief, thought-provoking passages by perceptive modern philosophers. Through contemplation and group discussion of these passages, participants were able to look beyond modern illusions toward deeper understanding.

The first Illuminations retreat in November 2022, organized by SIDH, received an enthusiastic response. Building on that success, SIDH hosted Illuminations Part 2, gathering a curated group of 32 participants well-versed in Saran’s ideas for a deeper journey into reflective dialogue and shared insights.

  • Location: Swarg Ashram, Near Ram Jhula, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. 
  • Dates: 26th April and Sunday, 1st May, 2023
  • Facilitators: The retreat was led by Pawan Kumar Gupta and Arun Elassery, who guided participants in this unique format of contemplative discussion.
