SUMMARY:Teachings Under the Banyan Tree: A Contemplative Immersion into the
  Dakṣiṇāmūrti Stotram
DESCRIPTION:Teachings Under the Banyan Tree is a two-day contemplative stud
 y retreat centred on the Dakṣiṇāmūrti Stotram\, where Śiva is revea
 led as the archetypal Guru who teaches through silence and presence. Guide
 d by Dr. Vinayachandra Banavathy\, the retreat offers an Advaitic explorat
 ion of adhyāsa (mistaken identity) and the inward movement toward clarity
  and awareness.\n\nHeld in the context of Mahāśivarātri\, the immersion
  integrates reflective study with Rudra Pārāyaṇa\, Rudrābhiṣeka\, a
 nd bhajans\, allowing scriptural inquiry\, devotion\, and contemplation to
  unfold as a unified sādhanā. The retreat invites participants into sust
 ained listening\, inward reflection\, and experiential assimilation of sel
 f-knowledge.\n\nThe Details of the Retreat are as follows:\n\n*Suitable ag
