Q : What can I do to have these mystical and transcendental experiences?
Sri Anandagiriji : Many people are craving for these mystical experiences. The question that we should ask ourselves is, from where comes the desire to have an experience of this kind?Everybody has an access to such mystical experiences that free us from suffering and give us much joy and happiness in our life. We will receive these experiences immediately if the desire is born from the real need for a change in our lives, but if it is a simple wish born from curiosity, it could take a little bit longer.
Q : If I have the necessity and I think I am ready for this experience what should I do next?
Sri Anandagiriji : Then you are ready to attend one of our "ANUGRAHA YAGNAS" (retreats for awakening the Divine Love within your heart). These are retreats of one day, where you can experience the awakening of your spiritual heart, the awakening of your intuition. Other worlds are revealed to you, which makes you understand the meaning of being in this world, you will acquire meaning in your present life, and much more will be revealed to you in this retreat.
Q : Who is the source that lets us experience all this in the retreats?
Sri Anandagiriji : The Source that lets you experience this and begin your journey of Transformation is Sri Kalki. He helps you to start this journey of discovery by giving you these mystical and transcendental experiences, guiding and bringing you to the necessary state, so that you will be more perceptive to receive them. After this discovery and realization has happened to you, you are in a new state in which you become the creator of your life along with your Antaryamin (Inner Dweller), and the source of your future mystical experiences is now in your heart.
Q : Do you conduct the retreats alone or does somebody else help you in this wonderful work?
Sri Anandagiriji : I conduct more advanced retreats. After participating in ANUGRAHA YAGNA (one day retreats, where you experience the awakening of your heart and the root cause of your suffering is revealed to you), you may participate in more advanced and deeper retreats for entering in a permanent state of Transformation, which is a state where we are liberated from all human suffering. There are three monks of the order of Kalki, and also Bhaktas (devotees) helping me with the work in America and Latin America. They conduct retreats, seminars, conferences, talks, prayer and meditation meetings, and have personal interviews with those who have begun their personal journey of Transformation. Their mission is to guide the Spiritual Seekers in their path to self-realization.
Q : What are the retreats that follow the ANUGRAHA YAGNA and what can we expect of them?
Sri Anandagiriji : After participating in the ANUGRAHA YAGNA you may go to retreats in which we go deeper in the truths revealed by Sri Kalki to the world. These retreats have duration of one day, in them you will receive GNYANA, it means Supreme Knowledge that has the power to liberate you and guide you to even deeper experiences. Then there are retreats for meditation "DHYANA", that let you get in touch with inner worlds and internal visions of your heart and the Universe. After you have participated in these retreats you may participate in the "RETREAT FOR LIBERATION", which is a 21-day retreat that is given only in India, in Satyaloka, the place where Sri Kalki resides. To participate in this retreat in which you will receive another state of consciousness, a superior state of being compared with the one you live today, you must be authorized by the monk or the Bhakta who has been observing your personal work and spiritual development.*) In the end of the article there is a presentation of the courses and retreats that are currently offered in West.

Q : I know that three of the direct disciples of Sri Kalki are women, am I right?
Sri Anandagiriji : Yes, that is correct.
Q : It is rare to see women with spiritual authority guiding large groups of people, especially in the religious tradition. Does Sri Kalki say something about it?
Sri Anandagiriji : It is completely a new phenomenon in India, as in other parts of the world, that a great number of our followers are women. Women have a spiritual potential that is easier to awaken, because they are more connected with their hearts. Man has mainly developed his intellect, which has made him more cold and rational. Now, in this world there is greater number of women than men. What would happen if they rebel against the rules and laws made by men in this society, and instead of trying to imitate men, they felt proud of being women and teach men about Love?
Q : Besides the seven disciples, are there more persons who spread the teachings of Sri Kalki?
Sri Anandagiriji : Yes, as I mentioned before there is an order of monks and bhaktas (devotees) who conduct retreats, talks, conferences and seminars.
Q : All of them come from India?
Sri Anandagiriji : No, they come from all parts of the world.
Q : How many monks, nuns and bhaktas are spreading Kaki's message?
Sri Anandagiriji : There are two hundred monks and nuns, and the number of bhaktas is presently two hundred and growing rapidly.
Q : What are the statistics concerning the growth of the movement?
Sri Anandagiriji : It is growing in such an astonishing manner that we can no longer have an accurate statistics. From what we know, it is the fastest growing movement in the world.
Q : What do you think is the reason for such an incredible growth?
Sri Anandagiriji : Today we are experiencing a unique phenomenon on earth. And each man and woman that walks on this planet must discover it. The coming of Sri Kalki is very important and is a milestone in the evolution of man and of our planet. Our beloved Sri Kalki is the source of the innumerable insights, realizations and the source of the highest mystical experiences that are awakening the mystic within the hearts of the seekers.
