OUR JOURNEY BEGINS…
…in the vibrant heart of Mumbai, where we’ll step into the soul-stirring energy of the Flower Festival at Chowpatty Temple. Imagine a sea of fragrant petals cascading over the deities, ecstatic kirtan filling the air, and an atmosphere pulsing with pure devotion. It’s a feast for the senses and the heart—a perfect way to start our sacred adventure.
From there, we retreat to the Govardhan Eco Village (GEV), HH Radhanath Swami’s majestic spiritual sanctuary. Nestled in nature, this award-winning eco-ashram is where Bhakti and sustainability merge in harmony. Through kirtan, seva, and soul-deepening reflections, we’ll immerse ourselves in the wisdom of the Vedic tradition, letting the divine energy of this sacred land uplift and transform us.
Next, we journey to the mystical shores of Jagannath Puri, home to the ancient and awe-inspiring Jagannath Temple, where Lord Krishna resides in His unique, captivating form as Lord Jagannath. This sacred town is a powerhouse of devotion, known for its grand Rath Yatra (chariot festival) and the endless waves of mercy flowing from the deities. We’ll walk the same sands where Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu danced in ecstasy, soaking in the spiritual vibrations of this deeply mystical land.
Our pilgrimage culminates in Mayapur, the radiant heart of Gaura Bhumi—the land of Lord Chaitanya’s mercy. This sacred dham, resting on the banks of the Ganges, is infused with the golden energy of the holy name. Here, we’ll visit the awe-inspiring Temple of the Vedic Planetarium, chant with thousands of devotees in the birthplace of the Sankirtan movement, and experience the bliss of Bhakti in its most expansive form. As we surrender to the divine flow, we’ll leave with hearts forever transformed, carrying the essence of these sacred lands within us.
