16 Days Maun Vratha Silent Meditation & Yoga Retreat in Kerala

According to Hindu religious texts, Mauna Vratha or a vow to keep silent is important for purity of speech. It is also a way to attain a higher level of emotional stability. This 16 Days Mauna Vratha retreat is designed keeping in mind the importance of the sixth month of the Hindu calendar in Bhadra. It is essential to accompany Mauna Vratha with offering prayers for maximum benefit. Following are the expected results of Mauna Vratha experience at Rome’s Wellness Waynroots Retreat:  

 

• It calms nerves by lowering stress and pressure. This helps in developing patience, harmonizes spirit, mind, and body and we appreciate the present moment.
• It boosts our intuition, creativity, and broadens perspective. This improves our awareness and we understand ourselves and our real purpose in life.
• It is detoxification from all mental tensions by conserving energy, improving focus and concentration and curing headaches and migraines. 
• It enhances will power and decision-making process. This betters our relationships and our mind ages at a slower rate.

The varying degrees of Mauna are: 

• Karna Mauna - is control of speech. Only writing a note, gesturing, eye contact is permitted. 
• Kashta Mauna - is a complete withdrawal from every external communication.
• Susupti Mauna - is the next phase of Mauna when all doubts are clear and the illusory character and Gunas of the world are realized.
• Maha Mauna - is the highest form of Mauna, when all thoughts are completely annihilated. 

Note: 

• Before the days of silence will begin the guests will be provided with a detailed Wellness Consultation on their food preferences, meal timings, health, daily routines, and requirements. 
• A handbook will also be given to write down their thoughts and emotions during Mauna Vratha. 
• Day 2 to Day 5 (4 days) will be spent in complete silence except for some urgent requirement from the staff of the retreat. They should be kept to a minimum. 
• Guests can use the notepad kept in the cottages to communicate about any instructions or requirements.
