Rishikesh India

Sadhana ~ Mind, Meditation, And Heart Communication
Diving for the Blue Pearl into the New Consciousness Grid
The Ancient Science of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation
A Ten-Day Immersion with Gurmukh and Gurushabd

"Diving for the blue pearl"is an ancient expression. Blue signifies the color of the vibrational frequency of the higher realms of consciousness. Diving within, you come up with new breath and new mind... thanking Creator for all of your life, for all of your life brings you to this gathering... all of it. We bless our past, for it has brought us here now.

As we journey through the waters into the Aquarian Age, this Ancient Science will enable us to build consciousness to reach the shore. On this shore await happiness, joy, freedom, and love.

Living in the heart and letting our mind follow is the experience of freedom, amazing health, prosperity, and peace. There is a formula. We don't hope it happens. We know it will happen.

You must be brave. You will be joined by others with like intentions. We will be there for you. We will help each other.

On our ancient land in Rishikesh, India, the river is cool under clear skies. The Himalaya Mountains surround this quiet space. We'll enjoy good yogic-designed meals. In this sacred place you will go deep within your heart, mind, and soul. You will be healing, releasing, and clearing your path in order to walk easily with purpose, joy, and energy. This can happen in just ten days!

Imagine living in wonder and amazement when rising out of bed in the morning to another glorious day... looking up at the stars... feeling the earth between your toes... smelling the scent of the clean sweet air... feeling the cool breeze. After a shower... sitting in meditation... chanting... yoga... contemplation... breathwalk... fire ceremony... a swim in the river... enjoying a breakfast consciously prepared with delicious foods from the land... collectively joining in community with others who are coming from all around the globe with open hearts.

You will release the resistance to accessing and aligning with your Soul's truth and knowingness. Your renewal will be inspired by your own commitment to your own Sadhana, looking within for your own truth. You will return home infused with joy and with purpose in this life... feeling the excitement of being in alignment with your Soul's Truth.

    Since the flight is so long we do recommend drinking plenty of water, at least 8 ounces per hour. Drinking caffeinated beverages is not recommended. If you want a special meal remember to order in advance with your airline.. Vitamin C or Vitamin packets are helpful in fortifying your immune system during the flight. Snacks of fruits and nuts will help too. When not sleeping or watching movies, take regular breaks to get up, walk around and stretch.

  • WHAT SHOULD I PACK?

    Once you register you will be provided with a suggested packing list. We suggest you bring one large suitcase or duffle as checked luggage and one small bag or knapsack as your carry on. If you would like, bring an empty duffle packed into your suitcase to bring home your purchases. Don't overpack! Remember, airlines are imposing stricter guidelines for luggage and weight. Also, there are times you will have to carry your own luggage, so make sure the luggage you bring is luggage you can handle carrying.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD I TAKE WITH ME?

    That's entirely up to you and how much you want to buy. Things in India are much more inexpensive than they are in the US or Europe, so your dollar goes pretty far. Travelers checks are harder to exchange in India than cash, so we recommend bringing cash and credit/debit cards. ATMs are available down in Ram Jula and the Rishikesh area. Ram Jula / Rishikesh is about 45 minutes from where we will be staying.ATMs are also available in Delhi and at the airport.Most stores take credit cards.

  • WHAT ABOUT TIPPING?

    We do not tip any staff during our stay at the Nirvana Resort. Rather, we leave a collective group tip at the end of our stay, which the staff divides between them. Generally this tip is around $30/person for the month stay. In addition, if you use porters to assist you with your luggage, plan on $1/piece of luggage each time you use them. For taxis within Delhi count on $1$ 2/trip.

  • WHAT IS THE CURRENCY AND HOW CAN I EXCHANGE MY DOLLARS?

    The currency in India is the rupee. There is money exchange in the Delhi airport. When you fly into Delhi, exchange some money into rupees at the airport. The rupee is not exchangeable outside of India so however much money you exchange into rupees, know that you must either spend it or exchange it back before leaving the country.

  • HOW SHOULD I DRESS WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH INDIA?

    For women, please dress modestly with respect for the culture. It is preferred to not wear tank tops and halters or shorts. Also when traveling through India it is best not to wear tight or transparent clothes that show too much skin or underarms.Instead wear loose fitting graceful clothing such as Indian Kurtas. Long skirts are also a good option. This is to not only show respect for the culture but to also not draw unwanted attention to yourself. For men, we suggest not to wear tank tops. Kurta shirts and T-shirts are fine. You will be doing a lot of Kundalini Yoga and meditation so we prefer white or light colored clothing. Also, head coverings are highly recommended.There is plenty of shopping in Ram Jula and Laxshman Jula. These areas are about 45 minutes to an hour below where the training is being held. So, you can do plenty of shopping for clothes if you arrive early before the training begins.

  • WHAT IS THE NIRVANA RIVER RESORT?

    For more information please see: http://www.nirvanariverresort.com. Because we will be up in the mountains please make sure to bring all of your toiletries and any necessary comforts with you from home. There will be days off during the course when you will be able to travel down to Laxshman Jhula or Ram Jhula (where Parmarth Niketan Ashram is located).
