"Modern civilization, with its technological advances and industrial marvels, has created a world where man has lost touch with himself and with the deeper truths of existence."
– Prof. A.K. Saran

Modernization has profoundly reshaped societies, altering traditions, values, and individual identities. While it has facilitated remarkable technological and material progress, it often sidelines the pursuit of deeper self-awareness and inner fulfilment. This retreat seeks to explore how the forces of modernization influence our journey toward self-realization, questioning whether progress has distanced us from our innate essence.

J. Krishnamurti reminds us, “It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” His words challenge us to evaluate the path modernization compels us to follow and to discern how we might restore balance, reconnect with our inner selves, and reclaim the timeless wisdom that guides self-realization.

This retreat offers participants a reflective space to examine these questions through interactive discussions, contemplative practices, and experiential exercises. Together, we will delve into how to reconcile the demands of modern living with the timeless pursuit of self-awareness, nurturing a life rooted in authenticity and harmony.

Join us in this profound exploration of the impact of modernization on self-realization and discover how to align progress with the inner quest for truth and fulfilment.
