SivaOm A Sacred India Yogic Journey
The upcoming retreat is not just an ordinary getaway from your busy life kind of retreat, it is a journey to a Sacred Land in the company of Sacred People. I invite you to come with us on this journey. A journey to a magical, mystical land. A land that opens up your heart and lets you dive deep into your inner self. A land of gods and ancient knowledge. This is the land where the gods left the sacred and everlasting truth seeded in the very air, in every temple, every plant, every stone, as a heritage to humanity to attain peace and oneness with Universal Consciousness. We will make you experience the life transformation that you long for. A journey where never before in one place and time has seen the gathering of a Hindu swami, a Buddhist saint, a prince, and a yoga guru dedicated to making you taste oneness with your own god consciousness, this is the kind of a journey many seek but only a few rare souls get to go on.
An incredible opportunity to develop awareness and get the ultimate support you can possibly get in the land which holds all that you need. Let me take you to India. The start and the end of your inner transformation, where everything you have ever practiced or read on spirituality can culminate into profound spiritual awakening and everlasting inner serenity. Quite the mind and experience this exotic and wondrous land. This is the place where the ultimate joy and truth exist, where material energy intertwines with spiritual energy. This is indeed that journey where the divinity of a Hindu Swami, a Buddhist Prince, and a Yoga Guru will walk you along to the higher realms of consciousness and ultimate reality itself.
