A Weekend of Inspiration with Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri

July 11-12 2026, Seattle, WA

Our Pacific Northwest Amma community was deeply blessed to welcome Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri during his 2026 U.S. tour for a memorable weekend of spiritual inspiration, devotion, and fellowship. Held at the Embassy Suites in Lynnwood, the retreat brought together devotees and newcomers alike for two days of teachings, meditation, devotional music, and heartfelt connection.

The weekend began on Saturday with a two-day retreat that included traditional opening ceremonies, Manasa Puja, Ashtottaram, inspiring discourses by Swamiji, interactive games, and opportunities for reflection and spiritual practice. That evening, the retreat expanded into a free public program where many gathered to enjoy Swamiji's uplifting talk, devotional bhajans, guided meditation, and a community dinner shared in the spirit of love and service.

The second day of the retreat continued with Amrita Yoga, a beautiful Lakshmi Puja, additional teachings from Swamiji, a special devotee session, an engaging Q&A session, chanting, bhajans, and meditation. The weekend concluded with a light dinner, leaving participants renewed, inspired, and grateful for the opportunity to immerse themselves in Amma's teachings.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri, Swami Dayamritananda Puri, and Br. Ramanandamrita Chaitanya for sharing Amma's message of unconditional love and selfless service, to the many volunteers whose tireless efforts made the event possible, and to everyone who joined us. The joy, devotion, and unity experienced throughout the weekend will remain in our hearts for years to come.
