Ananda Rupam Shivoham Shivoham!
We spent 14 Mystical Nights celebrating the Yoga Shakti retreat in India November 18th – 2nd December 2024.
Vamadevaji and I share our heartfelt gratitude to all the participants from several countries sharing our sacred space in India. This was a deepening time for our inner search, healing and cultivating a deeper awareness of our sacred journey and sadhana.
Our Yoga Shakti retreats are always an experience of strength, conviction, truth and compassion. Thank You for opening your hearts to our life’s lessons and teachings with receptivity, respect and devotion.
We had most powerful darshans at Kashi Vishwanath, Bhairon temple, Hanumanji Sankata mochan in Varanasi. Vamadevaji gave a talk at the Banaras Hindu University BHU, and they took us to visit their museums and temples on the campus. The Varanasi Ganga Arati is always a spectacular display of reverence to Maa Ganga and Agni, the sacred fire. A boat ride at dawn watching the rising Sun is a mystical experience, watching Bhaktas offering their prayers every morning.
Jim Corbett visit into the forests brought us in close proximity to the Indian wildlife. Yogesh and I actually sighted a female Tigress, but all the noise made her turn back halfway and take refuge in the forest.
Ranikhet is Deva Bhumi where one connects to the Divinity of the Himalayan Mountains.
Our darshans at Jhula Devi, Jageshwar, Surya temple and Golu Devata were most mystical with Yagyas and evening arati.
In Delhi we had a beautiful experience at the Swaminarayan Akshardham temple, Shanidham, Yogamaya temple and the ancient Bhairon temple.
