ffering many wonderful and unique experiences, this trip of a lifetime will take us on a pilgrimage tracing the steps of the great Avatar, Shri Krishna, while helping you to expand your consciousness, open your heart, and unlock the vast potential of your body, mind, and spirit.
What is incredibly unique about India is its ancient history, sophisticated Sanskrit language, and the fact that it has the largest untapped library of ancient knowledge that has survived for at least 15,000 years. On this journey, expect to be immersed in the wisdom stories of the Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutras, and other great Vedic texts, illuminated by renowned Vedic scholar and teacher Jeffrey Armstrong. In addition to visiting the spiritual centres of India, including Delhi, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Vrindavan, Mathura, Agra, and Jaipur, Jeffrey will initiate you with profound meditations and mantras that have been practiced by yogis for thousands of years on the banks of the sacred Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati Rivers. A highlight of our journey will be the opportunity to visit several ancient temples, not on the usual “tourist tour”, as well as other famous temples,
including Hanuman Temple, Krishna Temple, and Akshardham Temple in Delhi, Pareshwar Mahadev Temple, Daksha Mahadev Temple, and Mansa Devi Temple in Haridwar, Banke-Bihari Temple and Krishna Balrama Manir in Vrindavan, Dwarkadish Temple in Mathura, and Birla Temple in Jaipur. You will also get to visit some of India’s most popular attractions and landmarks, including India Gate, and the Red Fort in Delhi, Vrindavan Village, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, and the Maharaja's City Palace and Hawa Mahal in Jaipur. You will learn the secrets consciously embedded in their architecture and the fascinating history of each site. Jeffrey will also introduce you to some of India’s most respected gurus and explain the connectedness and distinctiveness of the various spiritual paths of spiritual India.
