By following in the footsteps of Rama and Sita, you will realise that Their story is not just an ancient legend, but a living reality. We have prepared an incredible journey to the places associated with Lord Rama and His faithful companions. This will be an unforgettable trip!
First and foremost, we will visit the famous Ayodhya – the birthplace of Lord Rama. It was there, centuries after its destruction, that the Ram Janmabhoomi temple was restored and officially opened. This event became a grand and joyous celebration for all Hindus. We will also explore the places where Sita and Rama lived in exile, where various lilas took place between Them, Hanuman, Bharata... We will visit the spot where Sita Mata gave birth to the twins Lava and Kusha, and where She returned to Her original divine form – Bhudevi, the Earth Goddess. And much, much more.
Once, Vishnu sent His Chakra to the Earth to find the most spiritually perfect place. The Chakra landed in Naimisharanya. It was in this very place that a great assembly of sages was held, at which the sage Suta narrated the Srimad Bhagavatam to them.
Ram Janmabhumi in Ayodhya is the famous temple built on the spot where Lord Rama was born. This is where His great story began.
A city on the banks of the Ganges, Varanasi is known as the abode of spiritual knowledge and is the city of Lord Shiva. The spiritual life here is centred on the ghats, where many saints pray and ancient
rituals are continuously performed.
This is where three sacred rivers meet: the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. Here, one of India's most captivating spiritual events, the Kumbh Mela festival, takes place. Experience the purifying power of Prayagraj, a place where countless saints and sadhus come to take their holy dip.
The sacred Kamadgiri hill is the spiritual heart of Chitrakoot. It's known as the place where Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana lived during Their exile. The path around the hill is lined with many small shrines and hermitages (kutirs).
Located in Bithoor, Valmiki's ashram is the birthplace of Rama and Sita's sons, Lava and Kush, and was the place where Sita lived with Her sons.
Pictured here is Sita Kund, the place where Sita entered the earth and returned to Her original divine form, Bhu Devi. The kusha grass that grows here is the hair of Sita Devi.

YOUR GUIDES
Swami Sharada and Mahashraya Dasi have already led several journeys. They proved to be so interesting, vibrant, and unforgettable that a regular group of participants has formed, who now eagerly await future trips with them. They are now inviting anyone interested to join this warm and friendly company.
Swami Sharada
Swami 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 Vishwananda, 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 Latvia and other countries.
Mahashraya Dasi
Mahashraya Dasi is a resident of the Shree Giridhar Dham ashram in Vrindavan. She met Paramahamsa Vishwananda in 2011 and in 2015 became a brahmacharini. She is also a teacher of Vedic rituals.
In 2017, she began assisting with the organisation of trips in India. Since then, she has travelled to various corners of this sacred country, discovering its amazing ancient culture and legends, and absorbing the timeless wisdom of the land.
"It is so precious for me to be here, and I truly want to share what I know and love with people."

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY

Jai Gurudev! I haven’t quite settled back into everyday life yet — I’m doing my work, but my heart is still on that journey. I keep listening to mantras — I close my eyes and I’m back in the Himalayas. My soul longs for that feeling, that state of being we experienced there. Now I understand why so many people from your previous trips came back again. After this trip, it’s hard to imagine moving forward without you. :) I also want to thank Irina. I’m so grateful for the kindness and care she showed every single day. One of the most memorable moments for me was the day we climbed to Narayana’s Footprint and visited Swami Ramdas. After we left his place, I was overwhelmed… I just wanted to sit down and cry. Thank you so much. And thank you to everyone in our group. Truly, thank you

It was something incredible, something amazing. And that meeting with the saint… Tears were streaming down my face. Afterwards, I was messaging my husband and didn’t know how to put it into words — how to convey to him the feelings I was experiencing.
I keep writing and deleting, writing and deleting, because the moment I try to put it into words, it somehow loses its meaning. I have no idea how to translate the essence of those experiences into words.

I travel a great deal in India and sincerely love this amazing country. I have the opportunity to go anywhere independently, but I consciously choose to travel specifically with you.
For me, these are not just trips — they are profound spiritual journeys, during which I gain invaluable knowledge, feel the presence of the Divine, and connect with a sacred energy. Every such journey with you is an immense blessing. I feel myself filling with light, inspiration, and meaning.
That is why, when a new opportunity to travel with you arises, I try not to miss it. These journeys have become an important part of my spiritual life, and I practically always travel with you.
