This unique family-centered gathering brings together singles and their parents for a weekend of reflection, connection, and meaningful conversations inspired by the Bhagavad Gita<\/em>, guided through Eknath Easwaran\u2019s accessible and practical commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singles and parents will participate in separate discussion tracks<\/strong>, giving each group the space to explore spiritual teachings, personal values, and relationship perspectives in a comfortable and supportive environment. Everyone will stay in the same venue, creating a warm, shared community atmosphere where families can connect informally throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the event, singles who choose to participate will be paired based on mutual preference<\/strong> to explore Arthur Aron\u2019s 36 Questions<\/a><\/strong>\u2014a structured conversation practice shown to deepen emotional connection. This activity is entirely optional and designed to encourage thoughtful, authentic dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gathering is not a matchmaking service. It is a values-based, spiritually grounded space<\/strong> for families and singles to reflect, learn, and meet others with shared intentions, rooted in the wisdom of the Gita and the spirit of mindful connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Focus for Our First Gathering<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For this inaugural event, we are focusing on singles and families with roots in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana<\/strong> \u2014 for example, where you, your parents, or your grandparents were raised or educated. Starting with a shared cultural background helps us create a comfortable, cohesive environment for both singles and parents as we refine this unique event format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to expanding participation to a broader community in future gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your family meets the eligibility criteria and feels aligned with the spirit of this gathering, we warmly invite you to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
