Q&A with Swamiji .....283...Short intensive or Regular non-intensive Sadhana

[Guest guest]

Question from Nanda:

Many of us have regular practices - maybe even 5 mins a day , of

puja/japa/meditation that we have done over the years . Then there

are the short term intensives that one attends - a spiritual retreat

for example or satsang with a saint, or short term sankalpas.

Which of these approaches is more conducive to spiritual growth. A

series of short term sankalps of varying intensities or one long

term sankalpa of moderate intensity. Thank you for your time.

 

Swamiji's response:

Both in combination make for real spiritual growth. The short

intensive sadhanas inspire us to make our regular practices longer

and more meaningful.
