The Riverview Retreat, located on a farm in Taighat village, near Panchgani, came into being around a year ago. For the past nine years this space has been opened for all, on the day of Ram Navami. Villagers from nearby villages join for a day long ‘langar’ and celebrations. Many friends join in to chant Ram naam, meditate and sing Bhajans.
This year Ram Navami falls on 15th April. Please join the celebrations as per your convenience through the day.

– 06.00 am Sitting together in silence/meditation.
