Your Golden Purpose – A Retreat for Remembering the Soul’s Contract
Date: 9th May 2026 5 pm to 13th May 2026 10 am IST
Venue: Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Madhuban, Talla Ramgarh, Ramgarh, Nainital, Uttarakhand, 263137
Primary Facilitator : Arul Dev
Supporting Facilitator: Shweta C Rajurkar
CONTEXT:
It is the age of Individuation now. Even at a young age there is a thirst to discover one’s deeper purpose and potentials, and to intuit ahead what path is opening for one to progress spiritually and in the manifestation of one’s work and life. The age of conforming to religion, family, elders, or even established norms in society is falling apart. This opens up great opportunities for progress, and at the same time great chaos, as the untransformed parts of the self and collective grab at the increased freedom.
Even those who missed their inmost discovery in their younger years are now being compelled by life and the universe to discover the psychic’s (soul’s) presence in the depth of the heart. It is this presence that holds the ‘seeds’ of our golden purpose. Goals and purpose take care of our living, comforts, needs, and growing up. Golden purpose gives the secret code for our inner and outer fulfilment.
Arul Dev, after 31 years of exploring and discovering deeper purpose for self and others, and waiting for the psychic turn to form sufficiently, is now offering this retreat in the Himalayas.

Tirumoolar Tirumandiram Immersion
A 2 day residential retreat : Body as Temple, Breath as Mantra
October 31st 2025 to 2nd November 2025
Friday 12.30 pm to Sunday 12.00 pm IST
Venue: Arulville, the Hermitage, near Chennai – Pondicherry
Facilitators: Niveditha and Arul Dev
Introduction
Tirumoolar, the luminous Tamil mystic, stands among the 63 Nayanmars — the radiant saints of Bhakti — and the 18 Siddhars, the alchemists of the soul. His timeless work, the Tirumandiram, a garland of over three thousand verses, forms the heart of the Tirumurai, the sacred canon of Saiva Siddhanta.
The Tirumandiram is not merely a text — it is a living scripture, a river of wisdom that flows between philosophy and revelation. It is the first great Tamil treatise to unfold the mysteries of Yoga, Tantra, and Saiva Siddhanta — offering a vision where body, breath, and consciousness dissolve into the Divine.
Written in the Siddhar’s twilight language — symbolic, secret, and luminous — the Tirumandiram speaks in whispers of the Infinite. Its verses veil and unveil, carrying within them a sacred music that reveals what cannot be said.
Retreat Focus
In this experiential retreat:
- We turn inward — into the silence between breath and heartbeat – we dive into deeper body work
- Through chosen verses of the Tirumandiram, we will listen to the wisdom of the body and awaken to its divine essence
- Through movement, reflection, and stillness, we enter Tirumoolar’s sacred vision —
where the body becomes the temple,
the breath, the mantra,
and the heart, the place of the Universal union.
Facilitator – Niveditha
Niveditha’s journey began in the world of theatre, where she worked with RASA, a creative and rehabilitative space for people with special needs. There, she helped weave theatre into learning—creating curricula, guiding facilitators, and discovering how movement, gesture, and voice could become languages of healing.
Through theatre, the body revealed itself to her—not just as form, but as awareness, rhythm, and quiet intelligence. It taught her to listen deeply: to silence, to breath, to the stories that live beneath words.
Over the years, her inner path has been shaped by her love for Tamil spiritual literature and the mystical poetry of Kabir, Akka Mahadevi, Lal Ded, Rumi, and other luminous voices. Their verses are her companions—calling her inward, filling her with stillness and a quiet joy that feels both ancient and alive.
Niveditha now holds gentle online immersion circles, where a few like-hearted friends come together to dwell in these texts—to listen, to reflect, and to let poetry open what words cannot touch.
Facilitator- Arul Dev
For over three decades, Arul Dev has been quietly practicing and guiding individuals into the sacred terrain of inner transformation. His work does not speak loudly — it listens. It listens to the breath, to the guidance of Masters, to the pulse of the cells, and to the luminous intelligence within the body’s subtle substance. Through retreats, writings, and daily practice, he invites seekers to enter the temple of their own being — through a sadhana that blossoms both in silent concentration and in the dynamic unfolding of everyday life.
Arul’s inner explorations have found expression through his books Into Great Depth of Your Being and The Flame Within. His retreats and workshops invite participants into Deeper Body Sadhana towards transformation of total self, guided by Divine Matter and Higher Consciousness. He runs one year programs on ‘Delight Matrix’ – Harmonizing your parts of being, a pair at a time. He is the co-founder of the Divine Body project, a sacred inquiry into the transformation of the body’s cells — illuminating pathways where matter itself begins to respond to consciousness.
As Founder and CEO of People First Consultants since 1995, Arul Dev has led its evolution into a hub for deep talent hiring, Conscious Leadership programs, and transformative leadership coaching across organizations. He serves as a trustee of EYES Trust, dedicated to holistic education for children, parents, and teachers. As President of Aurora Trust, he stewards a golden new creation—interweaving healing, education, youth awakening, conscious leadership, and cultural empowerment—rooted in Integral Yoga and the timeless Indian wisdom.
