The itinerary may include five days acclimatising to India at a secluded and attractive Ashram by the sea, south of Chennai (Madras);. Journeys by private coach (or train) may include temple towns, or a cross-country trip (stopping halfway at a fantastic cliff top hotel at over 5,000 feet) to the best-organised Ashram in India—Arsha Vidya Gurukula, an Advaita Vedanta Ashram near Coimbatore, headed by the sage Swami Dayananda, in the peace of the surrounding hilly wild-elephant country. It will be an experience of quality ashram life with resident Swamis ready to offer us a varied programme, learning Vedic chanting and the teachings of Vedanta, as well as the usual daily chanting and Satsang sessions with Ramana Baba. Also a visit to the famous powerful sanctuary of Satguru Jaggi Ashram.

India 2005: Mantra Workshop

The tour will also include a week at Tiruvannamalai, the abode of the late Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi. Here we will stay out in the country, away from the bustle of the town, in a charming country ashram, in sight of the holy mountain, Arunachala. We will visit the old abodes of Bhagavan, his cave and Skandashram, Swami Suddhananda’s second ashram at the foot of Arunachala, the Arunachaleswara Temple, and the Samadhi Temple of Ramana Maharshi, where we have permission to hold our own chanting sessions in that sacred space.

The travel itself will be part of the adventure and a time for learning, chanting and inner observation. Although my aim is to make the trip as hassle-free as possible for us all, nothing ever goes as smoothly as we expect in India! So our party of flexible and intrepid travellers can be ready for some minor discomforts here and there. But this is, after all, to be an inner journey of the heart. We are not going as tourists but as spiritual travellers on pilgrimage.

Please Note: our itinerary may of necessity change according
to availability of accommodation or changing circumstances at projected
destinations. Therefore it is not the destination that matters, whether it
is in simple rustic ashrams or well-appointed hotels, but how we take the
inner and outer journey that counts.
