“Journeying to India with Lora was a beautiful, life changing, and empowering experience! Lora is an excellent guide and host, making sure you are taken care of in a foreign country, and introducing you to powerful sacred sites with her years of study, knowledge and cultural know-how to make things happen. Her care and spiritual guidance helped me feel comfortable to ask questions and explore brand new/ancient ways of seeing the world. I’m so grateful that Lora was my first guide to India! I would go with her again!”

A sadhu’s blessing
beautiful friendships
“The Himalayas, Shirdi, Penukonda, Tirupati, Kalahasti, Arunachala…certain places are high, holy places. As soon as you arrive there, your soul receives amazing energy. The energy exists there for several thousand years.”
– Sri Sai Kaleshwar
“Whenever your soul power is higher, really higher, your sub-consciousness immediately is saying what is happening around you. What is happening? Around you. It will make you awake. Once your soul is super strong that helps in spirituality, takes off.”
– Sri Sai Kaleshwar
Journey Highlights
Penukonda
Utilize these holy vibrations during the full moon timing and take the blessings of Sri Kaleshwar, Kanaka Durga (the peaceful form of the Divine Mother). and Shirdi Baba.
Shirdi
We formally begin our journey at the maha samadhi of Shirdi Sai Baba, the Universal Master and leader of this planet in this new Satya Yuga. Baba’s samadhi radiates blessings to the millions of pilgrims that visit yearly and to devotees all over the world.
We will meditate at his power spot after attending arathi and ask for His blessings in our lives. Shirdi Baba is a saptarishi in the lineage of Dattatreya, the Adi-Guru or Original Teacher.
Rishikesh
Rishikesh has a rich history of Saints who spent time there as part of their spiritual enlightenment process. Rishikesh is also famous for its pristine Nature and international yoga retreats. Rishikesh sits on the Ganges river and every night there are multiple arathis to worship the Divine Mother in the form of the Ganges.
Haridwar
Important spiritual center where many siddhas, saints, and sadhus live. We will visit special Divine Mother Temples and the Samadhi of Anandamayi. In the evening, we will attend arathi on the Ganges.
Devprayag
Kedarnath
Location of one of the most powerful Shiva temples in India, located in the Rudra Himalaya range of Uttarakhand. The temple’s present structure is believed to have been constructed by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century AD, though legends suggest an earlier existence dating back to Vedic times. According to mythology, the Pandavas sought Lord Shiva’s blessings at Kedarnath to atone for their sins after the Mahabharata war. Adi Shankarcharya’s samadhi sits behind the temple.
Tungnath
Badrinath
Badrinath Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is an important Hindu pilgrimage site in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district, part of the Char Dham pilgrimmage, known for its scenic high-altitude setting by the Alaknanda River, holy hot springs, and an ancient idol of Lord Badrinarayan found by Adi Shankaracharya.
