Retreat with Swami Mahayogananda Ji Maharaj

“The Power and Glory of the Divine Name: A study of Sri Chaitanya's Śikṣāṣṭakam”

“Sri Chaitanya, the great proponent of chanting the Divine Name, left eight verses of instruction. In Sanskrit, known collectively as the Śikṣāṣṭakam. The verses are beautiful and inspiring and also are eminently practical. We shall go through the text carefully to receive inspiration and blessings from Chaitanyadeva and look at how we can put his instructions into practice. Indeed, for anyone who repeats a mantra or chants the Divine Name, this text provides practical guidance for spiritual life.” - Swami Mahayogananda Ji Maharaj
