We will start our journey with Jaipur, the amazing ‘pink city’, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, famous for its architectural monuments and the fact that many self-manifested deities were brought here from the cities captured by the Mughals of India. Many of these deities had magnificent temples built here, and only a few were returned to their historical sites. To receive the darshan of the three original deities of Vrindavan, who are currently in Jaipur (Madan Mohan, Govind Dev and Gopinath), in one day is a huge blessing, which we are going to do!
Next, we will go to Vrindavan, visit key temples, as well as holy places where the most important lilas of Radha and Krishna took place: Barsana, Gokula and Govardhan, we will walk the parikramas around Vrindavan and Govardhan and celebrate Kartik Night in the holy land of Vrindavan.
Then we will go to Kurukshetra, the field where the famous battle between the Pandavas and the Kauravas took place, where Lord Krishna became the charioteer of Arjuna and his Guru. Here He transmitted to Arjuna and all mankind the eternal teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. The wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita will accompany us throughout the journey. Thanks to the satsangs and lectures of Swami Sharada and the vibrations of the holy places, you will be able to get deeper into this teaching and bring real beneficial changes to your life.
Guides:
Swami Vishwasharadaananda
He was born and raised in Perm Krai, Russia. He received his first higher education at the Institute of Oriental Studies, Moscow, studied languages, culture, history and economics of South Asia. During his studies, he became interested in both Christianity and Hinduism at the same time. The teachings of Jesus Christ and Krishna are very similar, they both talk about unconditional love. This deep interest in God led him to Paramahamsa Viswananda, Whom he met and accepted as his Satguru in 2011. Already in 2013, during the Kumbh Mela festival in India, he was initiated into Swami. His way of life consists of serving people, teaching them to follow the path of devotion to the Divine through daily prayer, Atma Kriya Yoga, sacred rituals, life in modern society and spiritual community. He is the Swami of the Bhakti Marga of Latvia and other countries.
Mahashraya dasi
Resident of Shree Giridhar Dham Ashram in Vrindavan. In 2011, she met Paramahamsa Viswananda. In 2015, she became a brahmacharini, having received initiation in Vrindavan from Swamini Vishwamohini. A teacher of rituals, she began helping with the organization of journeys in India in 2017.
‘From the very first time I was in India in 2014, this country touched my heart so much, I felt at home, it was something very native, familiar and so real… and Vrindavan immediately stole my heart completely and irrevocably. Since then, I have visited different places in India, discovering this amazing culture, learned a lot of hidden holy places in Vraj, ancient stories and legends, and I really want to share what I know and love with other people.’
