RESIDENTIAL COURSE: The Path of the Disciple
Editions
Choose a specific edition for more informationDescription
Our progress through life is due in large part to the various people who have taken on the role of being a guide and teacher. Starting with our parents, then our school teachers, then those whom we choose to guide, train and coach us in our life’s activities, we intuitively know that in order to grow we need guidance.
This program will give you a broad understanding of the guru-disciple relationship.
We will touch on these themes:
• Does everyone need a spiritual guide?
• Who is qualified to be a spiritual guide?
• What is the difference between a teacher/counselor/coach, and a spiritual guide?
• What is the difference between a follower, a student and a disciple?
• Am I ready to follow a spiritual master?
• Which path and which master are best for me?
• How to recognize your spiritual path and your spiritual master
• Who are the Masters of Self-realization?
• What is the Path of Kriya Yoga?
Tyagi Arudra Slisko is of Croatian origin, but has lived in Italy for many years. From a young age, his thirst for understanding and his great interest in consciousness, understood as the fundamental reality, led him to explore meditation and spirituality, in search of of tools to live more and more in tune with that higher consciousness.In 2008, after finishing his high school studies, he discovered Paramhansa Yogananda and his teachings and began his path as a disciple. Since then he has dedicated his life to living in contact with the Divine and to sharing with others the many practical ways to experience Him and bring Him into one's life.
Since 2009 he has been living in Italy, in the spiritual community of Ananda Assisi, founded and based on the teachings of Yogananda. At Ananda, in the yoga and meditation retreat, he leads classes on meditation, on Superconsciousness, on intuition and on how to spiritualize and transform one's consciousness by sharing the principles and tools that have changed his life. Aside from his service at the guest retreat, he also serves as coordinator of the Ananda meditation groups in Eastern Europe and also as a minister and kriyacharya (person authorized to pass on initiation in the sacred technique of Kriya Yoga).

You can choose the option Yoga in Action for any course where this program is available and you can continue with this option as long as you wish. Your service project might change each day.
When we learn to serve with the right attitude, this is a spiritual practice and is called Karma Yoga. The daily practice of Karma Yoga is a joyful and practical spiritual discipline that will benefit every aspect of your life.
At Ananda, there are two levels of the Yoga in Action option:

Yoga in Action Level 2 is only available if you have had prior experience of the Yoga in Action Level 1 option, or any of the Community Living Programs. With Level 2, you will serve for a period of three hours, split into two periods of daily service.
