Join us for a 10-day pilgrimage of the inner and outer
landscapes of India
December 11-22nd, 2018 with Esteban Salazar
***WE HAVE ONE SINGLE ROOM SPOT LEFT***
Join us as we visit some of the most powerful sacred sites of South India and explore Tantrik philosophy right where it flourished over a thousand years ago.
Woven together with daily āsana practice and guided meditation, this journey will nourish your body, mind, and senses.
Trip highlight: Hanuman’s Birthplace
Hanumān is the embodiment of courage, loyalty, and devotion. When, after performing some heroic deeds, Rām asked Hanumān (for the benefit of onlookers), "who are you?", Hanumān -- as the paradigmatic devotee we all aspire to be -- replied, "From the point of view of this body, I am your servant, O Lord. From the point of view of the mind, I am your devotee. And from the point of view of the Absolute Truth, I am you."
The hill said to be Hanumān's birthplace is one of the most powerful and beautiful spots in the otherworldly landscape of Hampi:
trip highlight: Badami Caves
An incredible ancient power center known for its cave temples that are cut out of sandstone rocks which surround the Agastya Lake. Three among the four cave temples are dedicated to deities of Hinduism and one temple is dedicated to Jainism. The first temple is dedicated to Nataraja, the second and third cave temples to Lord Vishnu and the fourth temple to Lord Mahavira the founder of Jainism.
