Sri Gurubhyo Namaha! Sri Maatre Namaha!

With the divine blessings of our Guru Mandala, Goddess Mahaśodaśi, Śri Sāmba Paramesvara, and Śri Sitārāmanjaneya, we extend a heartfelt invitation for you to join us in the inaugural immersive residential family-style retreat nestled in the tranquil expanses of 380 Acres of Redwoods in Northern California.

We are thrilled to announce the first-ever Śri Vidyā Seminary retreat, harmoniously paired with a comprehensive series of Yajnas dedicated to the deities of Srimad Rāmāyana.
